    We have stayed at the Wilson School house many times over the last 10 years. The owners of the school house are what makes our stay so memorable. I must admit however that I love to cook, and I could not ask for a better kitchen. Richard and Lisbeth have thought of everything. We have rented cabins from NC to Wis and have never felt more at home than at the Wilson School house. Bob and Judy Wood. Havelock, NC

    We stayed at the Wilson Schoolhouse Inn while visiting our daughter at UW-LaCrosse. It was very spacious, in a beautiful setting. I loved staying in a "piece of history", that had been modernized. The kitchen truly was gourmet. This was a terrific "find"!!
