The Hillcrest Inn: journey to a 1908 four-acre, wooded estate that combines the nostalgic memories of yesteryear with the luxurious amenities today's bed and breakfast travelers find most appealing. Enter the property through the original fieldstone posts and follow the curving drive until the panoramic view unfolds before you. Built on the crest of a hill, this inn has one of the spectacular views in southeastern Wisconsin. Hillcrest is an Edwardian estate where you can enjoy the refurbished beauty of the original craftsmanship such as maple floor, mahogany beamed ceilings and leaded glass windows. Every room has a tasteful blend of furnishings, accents and antiques that make them distinctive. We offer a romantic and secluded setting, overlooking gently flowing rivers and distant hills. Stroll the walking-paths, experience the lovely flower gardens, or relax on one of the expansive porches to enjoy the breathtaking sunset. Free WiFi available. Contact us for great Winter Rates!

Room was nice, but a little cramped. The bathroom was extremely tiny. The food was excellent, and the hosts were wonderful.

Hosts were excellent and lovely people. I had a great experience overall with my first Bed and Breakfast. Lovely breakfasts and one-of-a-kind place and town, I must say!

4.2 out of 5Quiet Weekend Getaway
October 18, 2012
My husband and I just spent a quiet weekend here. The food is prepared fresh each morning and is excellent! We opted for one of their packages. The value only received 3 starts because the dinner gift certificate of $50 was not even 1/2 the bill at the restaurant. But because the food at the place was so good, it was less annoying to see we'd end up paying an additional $60 for dinner. Read the room descriptions carefully. I accidentally booked a room without a whirlpool tub. But the room we did end up with was very cozy and clean. This place is close to our city and we look forward to returning in spring or summer so that e can take better advantage of the beautiful grounds and outdoor seating areas and patios.

4.8 out of 5Great, relaxing stay at Hillcrest
October 11, 2012
If you need to get away from it all for a romantic weekend, check out the Hillcrest Inn in Burlington. Mike and Gayle are excellent hosts, the Inn and grounds are beautiful, and the breakfast is fantastic. Burlington is fun to explore, and Lake Geneva is a short drive away. We celebrated our anniversary here and were extremely pleased with everything.
4.4 out of 5Breakfasts to die for!!
August 22, 2012
This B&B is run by a charming couple. They put together a informative booklet with history of the house and information on the area. Short drive to Lake Geneva. She is a wonderful cook and truly enjoys explaining what you are eating. He is very informed and helpful. We would definitely recoommend this B&B.

July 29, 2012
My boyfriend and I took a last minute weekend getaway and found the Hillcrest Inn. It was exactly what we needed. The scenery is beautiful, especially the deck that has breathtaking views of surrounding area, including an airport, which is fun to watch little planes coming and going. We were so happy to have a place we could just sit for 2 days and chose to put little on our schedule and stayed at the inn for the most part. It is close enough to Lake Geneva and shopping that if you wanted to get out, it would be easy as well. Much cheaper than staying in Lake Geneva too. We chose to sleep in the 2nd night, but our one breakfast was delicious! Very nice and accomodating hosts. I would love to go back in the fall to see the changing colors from their beautiful home.
