Wisconsin bed and breakfast accommodation in the land of lakes
Many Wisconsin bed and breakfast establishments are situated next to or near water. That is because Wisconsin (French: Ouisconsin) touches two of the five Great Lakes and is home to no fewer than 15 000 lakes of which Winnebago is the largest. Wisconsin is located in the middle of the United States. The capital is Madison and its largest city is Milwaukee. Many Wisconsin bed and breakfasts guests are there to enjoy water sports, ice-boating, fishing, skiing and hunting. There are 95 state parks for everyone’s enjoyment. Of course Wisconsin is famous for something more than outdoor pleasure. It is also the most important dairy state and many businessmen stay in Wisconsin bed and breakfasts when visiting the state on business. Milwaukee has fine museums and the small towns of Spring Green and Richland Center are home to buildings designed by Frank Lloyd Wright who was born in Wisconsin. The many otherattractions, all of them well-served by Wisconsin bed and breakfasts, include the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the Ice
Age National Scientific Reserve, the Circus World Museum at Baraboo, the Wisconsin Dells and the Wolf, St. Croix, and Lower St. Croix national scenic river ways.
In the northern forests of Wisconsin, bright, clear lakes abound with B&Bs, lodges and inns to be found wherever tourists want to be. There is wonderful fishing to be had and wildlife is plentiful. Outdoor recreation is definitely the main draw for out-of-state and even visitors from foreign countries. Apart from the water activities on the lakes, the deep, cool woods provide wonderful hiking and horseback riding trails. Of course there are also Wisconsin bed and breakfasts to be found on picturesque dairy farms with their sun-dappled fields and hundreds and thousands of contented cows. Staying in an Olde Worlde Wisconsin bed and breakfast establishment for a vacation is a great way to enjoy the hidden valleys, spring flowers, fabulous fall foliage, winter sports, livelycities and beautiful countryside. The more adventurous can taste winesand beers at wineries and microbreweries. A very interesting aspect of Wisconsin is the German background
