My wife and I celebrated eight years of marriage by staying at the Hanson House for a couple of nights away from our daily routines of work, kids and keeping up with the house. We traveled only as far as from Sun Prairie, WI, but we felt like we were in a whole different world. Duke and Mary Jane were the most gracious of hosts and set the bar very high for the next time we try a B&B during our travels. Every last detail of our visit was absolutely perfect-- from the charming house and the wonderful hospitality to the immaculate grounds and the excellent food. Mary Jane even remembered that I had mentioned being a chocoholic and made sure to have plenty of chocolate at hand and incorporated into the menu.

If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing, private time this is the place to go. My husband and I have stayed in Ana's Room on two different occasions and have enjoyed every minute of our stay. And let me tell you Mary Jane and Duke sure know how to put on a breakfast. Duke makes an awesome frittata, and Mary Jane sure knows how to bake. The servings are more than adequate, let me just share what we had for breakfast. We had a frittata (2 slices) with veggies and ham, (3)sausage links, english muffin, (2)scones, and a homemade yogurt/fruit/granola cup each along with juice and coffee. Yummy! AND, each room has freshly baked cookies that are to die for! The rooms are spotless as well as the whole house. Our jacuzzi tub for two was so relaxing and we could watch tv from a flat screen located in the bathroom. They stock your mini fridge with regular and diet soda as well as a bottle of wine. And they supply you with a DVD selection as well as popcorn to help you enjoy your stay. When my husband and I finally retired we turned on a soundmachine that was provided in our room to the sound of rainfall. It was so calming and put us to sleep immediatly, the comfortable mattress and pillows might have helped also :) . We just really want to express our greatest gratitude to Mary Jane and Duke. You really made us feel special, and we are glad to have you as friends. Our Hats off to You two, AND we definitly will be back soon! -Our last stay was March 7-8, 2009

The innkeepers made our wedding day so beautiful and stress free. I went to view the B&B for the first time only 2 weeks before our big day (before that I had only seen it online). Mary Jane had arranged for us to not only meet with her, but drove us to the florist and bakers consultant appointments that she made for us. All of which were included in the wedding package they put together at an incredible price. All of the vendors we used from the list the innkeepers provided to us were amazing. The hair stylist even opened up the shop on a Sunday just for us. Duke took great candid photo's and provided us a disc of all of them when we checked out the next day. The rooms are all beautiful, and the breakfast brought up to the room was a terrific service and tasted great. They really made you feel comfortable while you are there and free to come in and out as needed. Everything was spotlessly clean, including the bathroom showers and amazing tubs. They made fabulous baked goods. They were able to accommodate my new husbands picky diet. I had mentioned he frequently eats brownies for breakfast and they made brownie like chocolate muffins just for us. Hands down best place to stay, and get married. We will definitely be back!

We stayed two nights, including New Years Eve, in the Townsend Bridal Suite. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. The rooms were spacious, lovely, and comfortable. The soaking tub is an absolute must! The innkeepers are hospitable, warm, and friendly, but also create an atmosphere that allowed us to feel comfortable just spending time with each other privately, too. The coffee service every day was charming, and the homemade breakfast was unbelieveable! My husband and I needed a chance to reconnect simply (but elegantly!) and were looking forward to this getaway. The best part was that this was truly a better stay than we even anticipated! I cannot praise the Hanson House highly enough. It is an absolute beauty, and the innkeepers only add to the warm and charming vibe!

This was our fourth stay at Hanson House. We keep coming back for our special occasions because Hanson House is a beautiful, cozy, friendly and very relaxing Inn just 2-1/2 hours from Chicago. We found the Inn on the internet, and Innkeepers Duke and Mary Jane treat us like family, and we feel lucky to have met them. Our favorite room, the Cambridge Room, was cozy and spectacularly clean and inviting. New additions since our last visit include a white noise machine, a beautiful & warm electric fireplace, and a TV in the bathroom that can be seen from the two-person jacuzzi tub. The abundant gourmet breakfast (including fresh muffins, homemade frittata, sausage and poached pears) was fresh, hot, delicious and brought to room so we could have breakfast in bed. A favorite are the yummy oatmeal cookies that magically replenish themselves in the hallway. Cambridge is adorable, with its gift shops, small art galleries and two pottery studios-all a leisurely stroll down Main Street, just a few short blocks from Hanson House. The Innkeepers, Duke & Mary Jane, are perfectly suited for their role...charming, caring, and professional, they make sure their guests are well cared for and leave happy. I highly, highly recommend the stay at Hanson House.

I've stayed in hotels and B&Bs all over the country. Oscar H. Hanson House is easily the best. Beautifully maintained house, great service from great people, and unbelievable food. Do not miss a chance to experience Oscar H. Hanson House.

We never stayed at a B & B before and have to admit that on the drive in we did feel a wee nervous not knowing what to expect. We arrived a bit early and walked through the town and stopped in for a drink in a nearby restaurant. The towns people were very welcoming and informative but this was nothing compared to the gracious hospitality of our hosts; Duke & Mary Jane. Their home is truly beautiful, I felt extremely fortunate to have found this gem and look forward to returning. I will definitely recommend the Hanson House to my friends; no one should miss out on this treasure of Cambridge!

We spent a peaceful weekend at the Hanson House. The room was beautiful, comfortable and had more than the normal comforts of home. The Inn keepers were wonderful and led us to a local gallery opening, and great things to do in the area. We look forward to going back.

I have been to many bed and breakfasts and this one was fantastic. Everything about it was wonderful and the breakfast was one of the best I have ever had. I even asked for the recipe for the homemade granola because it was SO good. The owners were so friendly and accomodating and for the price, you could not get a better deal! The have a movie library and microwave popcorn, along with fresh baked cookies for a cozy night in- what a great idea! The binder provided in the room give you all the information you need to have a great time in the Cambridge area, plus a detailed history of the house which was very interesting. We will definitely go back to this B&B hopefully sooner rather than later- and they offer a 10% discount to returning guests. It doesn't get much better than this in the world of B&Bs!

My husband and I enjoyed two nights in Ana's room and it was wonderful. He is always hesitent about being in "someone else's" home, but the privacy of the Ana room was so nice he never complained. We had a separate entrance and patio doors to a garden area. We also had the option to have our delicous breakfast served to our room. Juice and coffee was left in the beverage pass-thru by 7:30am without distrubing us at all. The food was unbelievable; gourmet bakery, fresh fruit, yogurt, granola, and more. I especially liked relaxing in the whirlpool tub and being able to watch my favorite shows at the same time while my husband caught some sports and relaxed in the other room. It was great! Thank you so much.

We've been to the Oscar Hanson house twice before and stayed in the Townsend Suite which we thoroughly enjoyed over our November anniversaries. The room is lovely; cozy and warm. This time, we stayed in Ana's room in August and it was the perfect room during a Summer stay. The gardens adjoining the room are so peaceful and relaxing. The room was stupendous in its amenities as well. As always, each stay has included a home made scrumptious breakfast (nothing is store bought here!). I've never met more accommodating owners than Duke and Mary Jane. A stay here is well worth the price and we will be back! We also refer others to come here and those that have echo our rave review!

The Hanson House was a perfect spot for my husband and I to go for a romantic night with no kids! Ana's room was beautiful and all of the little touches (wine, chocolates, cookies, etc.) definitely inspired romance. We certainly enjoyed the jacuzzi. The innkeepers made sure we were well taken care of, but it was also very private. It seemed like we were the only ones around--the quiet privacy was very nice. Thank you!

It was a last minute place to stay on our way to another event. We arrived late but still within time to meet with the innkeepers. We were shown to our room and then they were off but available if we needed them. This was on the eve of our anniversary, and they had all of the special appointments, wine & chocolates as part of the room. The room and bathroom were picturesque. We made use of the tub and chocolates but never got around to the wine. They say that they inspired romance and the room most certainly did. We had an early departure so we were unable to sleep in and partake in their full hot breakfast but they did make a continental breakfast that was excellent. We certainly hope to make it back again someday and hopefully stay for the real breakfast this time. It was truly an unexpected pleasure.

I really appreciated the quiet location, the wonderful Jacuzzi, and having breakfast delivered to our room. The baked goods are fabulous and an added treat was having our own little refrigerator with complimentary wine and soda pop. The gardens and wide front porch were lovely and peaceful. Duke and Mary Jane are welcoming hosts who seek to preserve the private space of their guests while accomodating their needs. An added plus is that one can schedule a session with Mary Jane who is a Healing Touch practitioner which adds to the relaxing and restful experience of spending time at the Oscar H. Hanson House. It's location in Cambridge with its shops and pottery works is an added plus. Spending time here is a welcome retreat from a busy world.

The town of Cambridge is very interesting and inviting, just like Innkeepers Duke and Mary Jane Mihajlovic. I loved the Oscar H. Hanson House when I stayed there during a business trip to the area. The Mihajlovic's treat you like family and made my week away from home feel like I really wasn't that far from home at all! I would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a relaxing and beautiful get-away weekend or a great alternative to a hotel while on business!

Friends: What a fine hideaway/getaway awaits you with Duke and Mary Jane at the Hansen House. They're a personable, professional couple with much to talk about and a commitment to your pleasure and satisfaction when you stay with them. The renovation they've done on the inn is remarkable and every aspect of your experience will be fantastic. The capper, of course, will be the breakfast that is brought to your room. My, my, my...! All in all, well worth the trip to Cambridge to stay for a few days.

The Oscar H. Hanson House was such a wonderful way to experience a B & B for the very first time. My husband and I needed a weekend away to reconnect with each other and have some time to relax. The Hanson House did that and more. Duke and Mary Jane made us feel very welcome and took care of our every need. The room that we chose was perfect for us in every way. We look forward to another special getaway some day soon!
