Pickwick Inn

We stumbled upon the Pickwick while researching Wisconsin B&B's.About once a month my wife and I try to get out of Chicago for a weekend.We're not made of money,& need to keep it within a couple of hours from the city so we gave Pickwick a try. I am glad we did! If you want to veg out watching HBO from your bed after exploring exciting local recreation you‘ll be disappointed.But if you’re looking for a well kept, easy going small town getaway full of hospitality & big tasty breakfasts,I highly recommend the Pickwick. We stayed in the Arthur Conan Doyle room for 2 nights;it was very spacious and cozy.The decor was unique & interesting,but not tacky or overboard.All rooms have gas fire places that turn on or off by hitting a switch,ideal for a winter visit.The hosts are very friendly & accommodating.breakfasts were huge,homemade & delicious.Another big plus:there is a mini fridge in the hallway (happened to be outside our door) packed with Mike's hard & wine coolers,free for the taking. I'm not sure if it’s the AC vents or thin walls,but a lot of sound carried through the rooms.I really appreciate privacy & peace when I'm trying to escape big city living, so this was a small turn off. Another thing to note:there is almost nothing to do in East Troy Wisconsin.A few blocks away is"the square”,which has a handful of restaurants,pubs & shops.This + no TV in the guest rooms, and you could find yourself very bored if you don't plan ahead.There was wi-fi,so we didn't miss TV all that much, and we took a couple of drives to Milwaukee & nearby towns to keep us occupied.Lastly,there was a bucket of old children's bath toys in the bathroom closet,which I found to be a little odd,especially since they claim to not accommodate children.Maybe not a huge deal,but that's why I knocked off a star for cleanliness.Otherwise the room was very clean and well kept. And did I mention breakfast is huge and delicious? I’ll come back.

We enjoyed the entire stay. The room was cozy and breakfast was great. I had never had a baked apple pancake before. We will stay again when we return to East Troy.

Very nice people, clean delicious food , loved the hospitality. I recommend the Pickwick Inn for anyone looking for a B&B in the area.

My husband & I stayed at the Pickwick Inn in early January. The inn is warm and inviting and the hosts are kind and welcoming. Stepping into the Pickwick Inn felt like coming home. The rooms are nicely appointed, well kept and comfortable. We enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub on a cold evening. The breakfast was wonderful and plentiful. We highly recommend the Pickwick Inn.

Churches, shops and restaurants within walking distance. Personable innkeepers. Very inviting home, fully stocked with board games and a lot of nooks and crannies in which to curl up with a book. Outstanding price-to-quality value.

Our stay was wonderful. The hosts were both professional and personable. Rooms were very interesting, especially the room we stayed in. Lots of attention to detail!

We loved everything about the Pickwick Inn, except for the room. It was good, just the walls seemed a little thin. And without a TV in the room, and not much to do in the town, we drove 25 minutes to another town. Great hosts though and a fantastic breakfast.

Comfortable turn-of-the-century home, lovely and very homey (not fussy). Rooms were comfortable and QUIET. Bathrooms en suite. Hosts were welcoming but not intrusive, and we enjoyed our communal breakfast with other guests. Easy trip from Chicago.

My first experience at a B & B was at the Pickwick Inn. It was a beautiful place, the inkeepers were absolutely wonderful, down to earth and genuinely great people. Beautiful house, property and the food was outstanding. Was only able to stay one night but it was a well needed small getaway. I would definitely recommend a stay. Charming town as well.

breakfast was awesome! cleanest place I ever stayed, and the owners bend over backward to please you.

Dave & Jane are awesome hosts, greeting guests & showing them around, informative on local attractions & places you may need to go, & accomodating for other needed things. The home is absolutely gorgeous, filled with antiques as every room is. The rooms are exactly as pictured on their website & even the hidden cupboards have antiques inside them. The breakfast is to die for & always plenty to eat there. In warmer weather breakfast is served on the screened in porch & inside the home during cooler mornings. All guests sit at the same table & socialize which helps make the experience. If the antiques in the house aren't enough for you, there is the local Laubers Ice Cream Parlor & the Railroad Museum 1/2 mile away. Take a ride on the trolley from the museum to nearby Elegant Farmer & back. Plus there are numberous antique shops within a 30 min drive from the b&b. If antiques arent your thing, Alpine Valley is a few miles away for concerts, skiing, etc. There are plenty of shops within walking distance on the square, including a long standing restaraunt, & a long standing bar (which is said to be haunted). If you're there on a summer weekend, there may be some event going on at the square to entertain your afternoon. I love staying at Pickwick & have been a repeat guest there, being in the area for concerts, to share the b&b experience with a friend, to go treasure hunting at antique shops, & to just escape from reality for a while. I've been there enough that its like going back home. (waiting for the family discount Dave and Jane ;-) ) Overall, its a wonderful experience that I highly recommend.

We were celebrating our 25th Anniversary and wanted to go some place special. Jane and Dave made our experience spectacular. From their friendly greeting, to their beautiful Inn, to all the little touches, it was incredible. The breakfast that Jane made was amazing. We have been to other Bed and Breakfasts but none compared to this one. We would highly recommend the Pickwick Inn to anyone

The Pickwick Inn is the best B&B experience we have ever had. We were also in town for a concert event, and was touring around Wisconsin afterwards. We picked the Pickwick Inn due to my love of Charles Dickens novels and the pictures on their website. We stayed in the Louise May Alcott room and it was a dream come true, I really felt myself travelling back in time, taken time out to read a book in the rocking chair. The breakfast was delicious. Dave and Jane were so welcoming. I will definately stay again.

This was by far the best B&B experience we have had. We were in town for a concert event, and wound up being disappointed that we could not spend more time in this wonderful home. The breakfasts were delicious and very plentiful, we will definitely be coming back here to stay.

Enjoyed this wonderful little town, which was centrally located to several places we went. Breakfast was fabulous, and enough to feed a farm crew!

The innkeepers, Dave and Jane, were welcoming and accomodating. The property is warm and relaxing. Breakfast was unbelievable. We love the town square, the icecream parlour, Ivan's restuarant, and Gus's Drive Inn Restaurant. We recommend the Pickwick Inn for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

When I say that rooms met my expectation, I don't mean that they were not outstanding, because they were, but pictures on the internet showed the different rooms, and they were found to be most accurate. We slept very well, but breakfast was certainly the most elaborate I have ever enjoyed. Eggs and apple pancake plus banana bread with chocolate, a bowl of cherries and a bowl of another fruit I can't remember, plus a dish of yogurt and berries. It was heaven even though it was raining outside. Jane was a wonderful hostess, she could tell us how to get to the place we were going that morning. The whole experience was wonderful and I hope we can go there again soon.

It was clean, quiet and comfortably cool--even on some very hot days in July. The food was excellent and the Inn is conveniently located near the Town Square. Jane & Dave provided great service and hospitality. They made me feel right at home. Their rates are an unbelievable bargain compared to the one other choice--a motel out by the freeway.

What a great place to go for a relaxing time away. 2 nights left us rejuvenated and ready to face the world. Dave and Jane are so friendly and accommodating, and breakfast is absolutely over the top. We definitly will be back.

Great hosts, very helpful with every detail of our stay. Awesome breakfasts, outstanding value, we'd go again.

For the price I paid, the room was acceptable. I thought the room was very clean, cute, and comfortable, yet small. The furnishings were very nice. The whirlpool tub was clean and very large. The house was very quiet. The owners greeted me on arrival and were very nice & helpful. They suggested 3 wonderful resturants nearby. The breakfast was nice; nothing fancy but delicious. The Wifi was nice & fast. The bed was okay; not a pillow top, but not super firm either. There was no temperature control in room but owners kept it cool enough that it was very comfortable.

i have never been to a B & B before but it was so much nicer than a hotel. i would do that again

Dave and Jane have an awesome B&B, wonderful, friendly servece and the breakfast was excellent! Would definately stay again.

His first stay in a Bed & Breakfast - I was a little worried he would not like it - after this stay he wants to come back. We loved the screened in wraparound porch and the ability to walk to local attractions.

What a great place to "get away!" My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Pickwick Inn. The grounds are beautifully kept, the inn is warm and inviting, the rooms are spotless and the innkeepers are a delight to chat with. Breakfast, of course, was delicious and beautifully presented. We would definitely stay again! Thanks Dave and Jane!

First of all, the breakfast is AMAZING! I could have eaten leftovers for lunch and dinner! The service is equally as amazing too! Overall, our time at Pickwick Inn was great. The rooms are lovely and full of antiques. Dave and Jane have created a quaint, calming, and very enjoyable environment.

Absolutely loved the screened in porch. Had the best breakfast out on that patio!

Great Cream City Brick home! Upon arrival, the hosts informed us of an air conditioner malfunction and offered us the chance to change our mind.They moved us to a different room for better ventilation. Very nice, very friendly people. While the rooms are great, the wrap-around screened-in porch was fantastic. East Troy is a sleepy little town and worth the trip. The Pickwick Inn is worth the stay!

This was our first B&B stay, and it far exceeded our expectations. The rooms were awesome, the hosts were incredibly friendly, and the breakfast was wonderful! Would HIGHLY recommend!!

We had a great time here! The food at breakfast was amazing and abundant. The room was cozy and fun with the fireplace. We didn't get to use the screened porch because it was too cool, but that would be a great for breakfast. We'll be back!!

We spent three nights at the Pickwick Inn and cannot say enough good things. We stay in B&Bs across the US several times a year, and the Pickwick Inn truly is our favorite so far. The decor is delightful without being fussy and overdone. The spacious wrap-around front porch is a lovely place for breakfast, evening drinks, and reading breaks, weather permitting. The breakfasts for tasty and generous -- with delicious braked goods. If we have the opportunity, we'll return.

We stayed in the Alcott room. Everything was decorated with so much attention to detail. Rooms were very clean. Breakfast was AMAZING!! Jane was so friendly and helpful. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

All four guest rooms are completely adorable! We stayed in a whirlpool suite, but all of the room have a private bath, fireplace, and charming themed décor. The kid in me loved the hidden linen closet. There is a variety of hot & cold drinks and fruit available to guests at any time. Had it not be cold and rainy for our stay, we would have indeed taken advantage of the spacious porch and swing. The common areas are also charming, and the food is amazing- baked apple pancake, cherry-cheese tart, peach cobbler, eggs, sausage, fresh fruit. Many thanks for a lovely stay!

I really enjoyed the Doyle room. Exactly what I was looking for. The mystery, cozy and comfort level was perfect. The porch was beautiful but the weather wasn't kind. On a non rainy day the porch would be a delight. No distractions really made this spiritual and personal retreat a success. I will definitely tell others about Pickwick Inn. Thanks, De from Milwaukee, WI

My wife and I were planning to make a trip to northern Wisconsin for a needed break and down time. A major storm forced us to make a last minute change and find something close to home. We selected an alternative area that had a great restaurant 30 miles south of us and decided to find a Bed and Breakfast in the area. We found Pickwick online, made the reservation online, and checked in 4 hours later. The welcome was warm, the stay was comfortable, quite, and restful. In the morning, Jane's breakfast and chatter, provided a perfect ending to an unexpected getaway.

This was my first b and b and wow what a stay this was. The food was amazing and the hospitality was the best thank you so much for having us in your home!

Was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of this B&B. Close to restaurants. The owners were wonderful and very friendly. Super breakfast. Thanks for the great time.

An outstanding B&B. Turn of the century property sensitively converted and maintained. The breakfasts are outstanding and Dave and Jane could not have been more friendly or helpful.

I cannot express in words how wonderful my stay was at the Pickwick Inn. The accommodations were very nice, the management was accommodating and the food was fabulous!

My group have rented this inn out on 3 separate occasions the last five years and will continue to come back to celebrate the holiday together. The owners make us really feel at home and allow us free roam and use of the inn for our visit. They offer great breakfasts and wonderful inn experience.

We stayed her for one night on our 25th anniversary weekend. The hosts could not have been more gracious and everything was perfect. What a great getaway!

This was a wonderful weekend. I got engaged and it was perfect! Our wedding is planned for 11/11/11 and we are very excited. Pickwick Inn was the perfect setting for this proposal. The room was amazing!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Inn last week. The room was well appointed, had interesting furnishing to go with the theme of the room, was comfortable and was extremely clean. The Innkeepers were friendly and attentive to our needs. The breakfasts were homemade excellence! We will stay again and recommend this quaint little B&B to our friends.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at the Pickwick Inn. This was only our second try at a Bed and Breakfast and it was great. Our room was very cozy with the fireplace. Breakfast was simple marvelous! If you are in the area this is the place to stay!

We enjoyed our stay. Room was a little small, and walls were thin, but it was a pleasant stay. Loved the hot tub. Enjoyed the theme--Charles Dickens, and the decorations (bookshelves with his books).

my husband and i stayed one night at Pickwick Inn, and it is just lovely. our room was very clean, very comfortable. no need to worry if you've forgotten anything, there's a closet with soap, toothpaste, etc. available to guests. also a mini fridge with beer, soda, wine coolers and bottled water. plus tea, coffee and cocoa. although i'm not a big fan of family style dining (i prefer a plated meal), the food was very good.

Delicious breakfast and beautiful room (Charles Dickens). We've stayed here before and would do so again. Very quiet neighborhood. The house is beautifully furnished and immaculate. Jane and David are very friendly and hospitable.

This is my/my spouses second time staying at the Pickwick Inn, and we look forward to many more visits (when we can "get away" from our daily lives). The owners are incredibly hospitable, the rooms are extremely clean (much cleaner than at most commercial hotels), and breakfast was beyond delicious!! Dave and Jane were even nice enough to ask if we had any dietary restrictions or preferences (which we don't), and they were generous enough to share some of their delectible recipes with us before we'd left. We're a little [pleasantly] surprised at the nightly cost--- The Moyers could easily charge twice as much and still generate the same amount of business. Dave and Jane are clearly dedicated to providing the best service and accomodations to their guests, and they take great pride in the Pickwick Inn.

It was our first time at a bed & breakfast. Very cute and wonderful food. Very nice people.

What a wonderful stay! My wife & I would recommend the Pickwick Inn to everyone! Hospitality plus. The owners are extremely accomodating & just plan great folks! We left stuffed after a huge breakfast. Dining on the enclosed porch with 2 other couples. It was terrific! We ill definitely go back.

Breakfast was amazing, she made her dishes which tasted like dinner dessert!! Oh man! Room was wonderful! You'll not be disappointed.

This B and B is truly a gem. We felt like we were guests in the home of one of our closest friends instead of "paying customers" in the home of complete strangers. Dave and Jane made us feel very welcome in their home. The pictures on the website do NOT do this place justice. We will definitely consider visiting the Pickwick Inn again.

This was my first experience at a B&B, and it was perfect. Jane and Dave are great hosts and very accomodating, the town is small and charming with a great restaurant (Ivans), the house is beautiful, the Charles Dickens room was superb, the breakfast was out of this world! Very quiet area, very private. If you are looking for a nice night or weekend away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, you won't be disappointed here. What impressed me most was how "at home" Jane and Dave made us feel, we weren't customers, we were like old friends visiting for the weekend. Tom Neessen, Des Moines, IA
