The Parsonage Bed & Breakfast

We had a short 1-night visit to The Parsonage and it was a very nice place to stop. The bed was comfortable and the owner, Craig, made sure that our needs were well-attended to. Overall, we would stay there again on our next visit to Madison.

From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel like we were at home. It wasn't just Craig's efforts that made us feel like that, the overall setting was all very home-y. If you want a hotel, this place might not be for you, but if you want an authentic B&B feel, then the Parsonage is perfect! Not to mention, the breakfast was AMAZING!

It is more homey than a Bed and Breakfast. Craig was a wonderful host. Breakfast was worth waking up early for!

I have been to this B&B many many times. My husband & I have always been treated quite well. In fact, during one of our first few trips, Craig had a special treat waiting for us, as it was our Anniversary.

Craig is a gem of a host, and this is a quaint, clean getaway if you're visiting the greater Madison area. The homemade breakfast in the morning will surpass your expectations, with both sweet and savory options. And I do mean homemade - nothing from a can or container in sight! I will definitely return here the next time I'm anywhere in the area.

This B&B has a very comfortable, friendly, lived in feel. Great rooms with plenty of amenities. But what really sets it apart is the owners. Craig has a passion for running a B&B and it shows. He's a fantastic cook and makes delicious breakfasts with local ingredients. The location is close to many area attractions. And for those of us who are dog lovers, there is 1 (and sometimes 2) dogs on the premises, but the owners are respectful of the fact that not everyone is a dog lover and will ask before introducing them to you. We would recommend this B&B and look forward to going there again!

The Parsonage is our favorite B&B. Craig and Cathy make you feel at home. If you do not like a beautiful old buidling, then you should stay at a Motel 6. If you like a building with character, warmth and the best hosts around, go to the Parsonage. We have stayed there probably 10 or 12 times now. Jerry & Polly Murphy Sugar Grove, IL

WE JUST RETURNED FROM A VISIT TO MADISON STAYING AT THE PARSONAGE WHILE THERE. WOULD RECOMMEND THE PARSONAGE TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN A B&B NEAR MADISON. CRAIG WAS A GREAT HOST AND A SUBERB COOK, PLUS THE ROOM WAS WONDERFUL AS WELL. IT WAS A VERY NICE GETAWAY FOR US.

Very nice clean rooms, quiet location, friendly owners, and an excellent breakfast. Very accommodating. They allowed us to use their garage for our motorcycle since the forecast predicted rain for the evening. It did rain and our bike stayed dry. Thank you! We would definately stay here again.

Nice owners, nice place in general, not appealing to us. Specific problems: 1. Awakened at 5am - Loud creaking of floor when owner walking up and down steps several times woke us. Light in east facing room kept us awake. 2. "Bath in room" - I guess we should have asked if that meant full bathroom. Had to go down hall to common bathroom for shower. 3. Left after one night - though scheduled for 3, we decided not to stay as we didn't want to be woken every morning at 5am. We booked another hotel. We asked for a portion of our money back. It was refused.

I worked with Craig to set up a night in the B&B for my sister-in-law and brother. I live in Colorado, so we had to do everything remotely. Also, Craig helped me set up massages for my family. He has been the absolute epitome of friendliness. When I came to visit the Parsonage myself almost 2 years later, he remembered who I was and gave me a wonderful tour of the place. He even honored the gift certificate I had bought for my family, even though it had been one and a half years since I booked it (my sister-in-law was pregnant at the time and they decided to wait until the baby came and everything settled down.) Craig is wonderful to work with, the place is really cozy and adorable, and I would support this business anytime. Thanks for all your help, Craig!

I was there with my girlfriend in "Mentor" room with a hottub. The place is so relaxing and the breakfast is awesome. I would go again!

I was driving across the country and stopped at the Parsonage because I had a really good feeling about it. I am so glad I did! That night there was a snow storm and I ended up needing to stay an extra day. Not only was the stay affordable, but Craig truly made me feel at home. He really went out of his way to make sure my needs were met, without making it seem like an imposition at all. My room was lovely, the food delicious, and the service impecable. I recommend The Parsonage 100%!

I travel frequently for business and stay in the standard business hotels both in the U.S. and abroad. When I travel with my family we are apt to stay at the chain hotels. We had the pleasure of taking a family get-away (my husband, our 14 yr old and twin tweens). I have stayed at the Parsonage before, but had concerns about my children's reaction to a bed and breakfast. The weekend was beyond our expectations for comfort, hospitality and good food. It was great to have the space of house and the warmth of the Parsonage welcoming us. Our children so enjoyed the experience they have already asked when can we go again. Craig goes out of his way to make each stay memorable with outstanding breakfast food and friendly service. I would recommend the Parsonage for families looking to find an easy going atmosphere and the comforts of home.

This is a wonderful bed and breakfast, especially during the winter season. The decor is so cozy and warm, and there are lots of games and books to enjoy. Craig is a wonderful host and an amazing cook! The rooms are well furnished and clean.

Craig does a great job on the rooms, the food, and the home! I would recommend the Parsonage to anybody looking for an affordable B&B near Madison!!! Thanks for a great get away!!!

We had a wonderful time at the Parsonage. Craig met us with a big smile and told us to make ourselves at home. We relaxed, played games and read in the Fireplace room. The breakfast was fabulous. Have you ever had chocolate waffles??? I plan on staying again.

Three of us stayed at the Parsonage on a wintery Saturday. We did not mind that there is no television because our plan for the weekend was to read, play games, and catch up. We had the Fireplace room and it was great. We enjoyed the fireplace and played games sitting in front of it. The owner, Craig, was very friendly and helpful. He made fresh chocolate chip cookies for us when we arrived, and was quick to provide us with anything we needed. The best part of our stay was the breakfast. All I can say was that it was fantastic! If you don't care about not having a TV I would highly recommend this B&B.

My wife & I and our friends have had the pleasure of staying with Craig multiple times. He is the best. You can count on friendly service and gormet (and interesting) breakfasts. You are at home when you stay at the Parsonage!
