Welcome to Helvetica Inn an original Swiss home from the 1800's with a charming Tea Parlor, 3 guest rooms, and indoor cycle storage. The Inn is a home-stay and sits at the threshold of New Glarus in an area often referred to as back-town. You will be within walking distance to the many New Glarus festivals, the Sugar River Bike Trail, the Historic turn of the century Swiss Village, and the many charming stores, taverns, and eateries in downtown New Glarus. Just outside the back door is an abandoned cow pasture and an old hillside dairy barn kissed by yesteryear. A quiet rural environment welcomes you as well as, a wonderful cup of tea which makes everything better. Mention BedandBreakfast and get 10% off! We also have a special for bicyclists!

5 out of 5Cozy atmosphere and our 2nd time visiting.
August 22, 2011
Every time we have stayed at Helvetica Inn we felt like we were visiting our family homestead. Lynda is a delight to be around and New Glarus has the atmosphere that reminds us of home. Love the many bike trails, the fun taverns and restaurants. We even spent the day at the pool. Our goal is to stay in every room at the Inn including the charming little overflow room. So far we have stayed in the Hosely Room which has the best bed I have ever slept in. Lynda told us it is a Kingsdown and rather expensive and just amazingly comfortable. The room has a large private deck with a fountain and you can see many constellations. The Gerber Room is super private and cozy. When we stayed in that room it was a little cold outside and we used the electric woodstove and felt like we were in a little cabin in the woods. Another comfortable bed and we never woke up until 10 AM. Fortunately, Lynda was kind enough to still provide us with breakfast and we just love the quiche she serves. We just love this Inn and Lynda is just the sweetest person. We are looking forward to our next stay which will be the Calderon Room. Helvetica Inn is also tucked towards the back of the village but you can still walk everywhere. You are totally off the beaten track and no road noise.

Helvetica Inn is a beautiful home in a great location. Great views and fantastic innkeeper. Lynda will make you feel right at home and cooks a great breakfast! My husband and I have been there twice already, and we cannot wait to go back again.

Lynda was as a wonderful host and gave my wife and I a very peaceful escape without having to drive far from Madison. New Glarus is full of character and great biking!

4.6 out of 5A great value when visiting New Glarus
August 07, 2011
Helvetica Inn is nice little 3 bedroom B&B within walking distance to many of New Glarus's restaurants and bars. The owner, Lynda, was very easy to talk to and welcoming. The pictures do justice to all the rooms and the Jack & Jill bathroom was very clean and updated. Overall, very reasonably priced for a nice getaway.
4.4 out of 5A great night's sleep!
July 29, 2011
We stayed at the Helvetica Inn towards the end of a 10 day road trip through Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Innkeeper Lynda was friendly and welcoming, and her bed and breakfast was a great place to rest our heads before visiting the New Glarus Brewery just a few minutes away. We slept like the dead in the Gerber Suite, and enjoyed breakfast and conversation with Lynda the next morning. If you're going to be spending the night in New Glarus, definitely spend it here!
5 out of 5Helvetica Inn is great!

Lynda was wonderful and it was such a cute romantic place! Located in a great location near downtown and a mile from the New Glarus Brewery. We would definitely spend another weekend there! My boyfriend and I loved this place!
