Innkeeper Response
At the Westby House our goal is to make a difference in why you choose us for your b&b experience. During your stay we make every effort to make that difference and meet your desires. The firmness of pillows is just one of the many amenities we offer. Since the firmness of a pillow is a very personal desire, we hope that you will find your right comfort level in the various firmnesses offered in the extra pillows stocked in each room. Breakfast selections for multiple night stays are alternated with a variety of egg based entrees such as breakfast strudel, mushroom egg biscuit, BLT egg bake and non-egg based entrees like cherry stuffed french toast, pumpkin-sour cream pancakes or stuffed blintzes. Offering this style of breakfast is the "anticipation" of the dining experience. We look forward to your stay and wishing happiness and joy this season.

Southwest Wisconsin has so much to offer to travelers. It's beauty, from the high ridges and low valleys, to winding roads and creeks. The Amish community and outdoor sports of biking, hiking and canoeing draw folks to this area. Exploring the area is a great pastime and returning to the Westby House afterwards adds to a relaxing weekend. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

We thought the property was beautiful and meticulous. Very clean and comfortable. Coffee was not good at all, weak and watered down. Disappointing at a B&B.

Innkeeper Response
Our staff appreciates your comments on the property as we continue to meet our standards everyday. Thank you for bringing the coffee quality to our attention. The food service equipment vendor had done routine maintenance on the machine last week. We have asked them to return to check that all settings are correct, or if a setting has failed. We have investiagated on our own as well and find that there may be some inconsistance in the brew but not sure. Thank you again.

It was our pleasure to have you as your first time B&B. Our goal is to meet all expections during the guest's stay. The fall colors and the unexpected warm day were perfect for our travelers. The Westby House does have central air through out the inn. On unexcepted warm days it does take time to overpower Mother Nature. With the seasons changing, the Westby Suite is a wonderfully romantic room where you can enjoy the fireplace.
