    We stayed in Ana's room at Hanson House for a birthday getaway. It was delightful! The decor and service were wonderful. The first floor suite was great for my ailing knee. The breakfasts were scrumptious. I can't wait to return in summer and enjoy Ana's private courtyard. Close to Madison, yet in a relaxing small town.

    - Avoid B&Bs because of overly-chatty innkeepers? These remain unseen if that's what you want. - Like chatting with the innkeepers? Duke and Mary Jane are delightful. - Rather not eat breakfast with strangers? They'll bring breakfast to your room. - Like breakfast at a dining table set for royalty? They'll do that too. When giving us the tour, Duke said, "we love you guys" (our guests) and that was apparent in every detail, because they really think about everyone's needs. One guest mentioned it was "too quiet" so they placed a soothing sounds machine in the room. A space heater warmed my toes when I stepped into the hallway to get hot water for my tea. They accomodate pretty much any diet (we're vegetarian), and do it well. For those who dare to get bored in the incredible two person (with room to spare) jacuzzi, there is a TV mounted to the wall to check the score of the game. The entire house was clean, warm, inviting, and well-decorated with all the details in mind, but without the clutter of "charming chatskis" often found at B&Bs.
