    A step back in time.

    September 07, 2010

    My husband and I had a truly authentic experience at the McConnell Inn. This old house has been lovingly restored and furnished with beautiful antique furniture and accessories. I read a charming book that was copyrighted 1862! The front porch was perfect for sitting day or night.

    Just the Right Mix

    July 27, 2010

    The McConnell Inn welcomes guests with a relaxing front porch, complete with walkers and swing. Inside it is just the right combination of antique romance and modern function. It feels like a visit at a best friend's home with private places including bed and bath as well as a common area to enjoy a gourmet breakfast every morning. Completely quaint experience you would never get in a hotel, including perfect alliance of privacy and hominess.

    Wonderful, Wonderful

    July 27, 2010

    Beautiful, wonderfully restored inn. Very comfortable setting with excellent, friendly, casual service. Breakfast was great - including fresh, home baked pastry. Turned out to be perfect weekend getaway for us in a new place. We'll be back!

    This is a very charming step back in time in terms of decor and architecture and totally up to date including WiFi. Excellent food and they were very accomodating to our early morning schecule.

    4th of July weekend

    July 14, 2010

    We really enjoyed our stay over the 4th of July weekend. This was our 2nd trip to McConnell Inn and enjoyed it very much. The breakfasts are great and the owners are very accommodating. The only complaint is that the beds were just a tad firm for us. Other than that, you feel like you're at home.

    A Home Away from Home

    July 09, 2010

    My husband and I have stayed in over 30 B and B's. The McConnell Inn is in our top three. Our hosts were welcomin and kind. The room was perfect with a nice view of the bay. The private bathroom was spacious with a vanity. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. We have many friends who come to the Green Lake area to attend events at the Green Lake Conference Center. We can't wait to share this wonderful Inn with them. If we ever come back this will be our first choice when looking for a place to stay. The walk-ability to Green Lake shops and restaurants is delightful. We were just minutes from the Lawsonia Golf course, a top rated course in Wisconsin.
