    Annie and Larry (Midget too) are very pleasant to visit. The home is comfortable with beautiful gardens to watch the birds. Annie's breakfasts are very good and very filling! Thank you for a lovely stay.

    This is the MOST welcomed we have ever felt at a B&B. Our hosts were so warm and friendly, we soon felt we have been friends a long time. Every need was attended to before we asked. Our breakfasts were delicious and abundant we were able to have the relaxing time we really needed.

    I, along with my older sister and mother, embarked on a journey to what we thought would be a cooler climate this summer. Our destination was Madison, Wisconsin. We left from St. Louis, Missouri and drove to Loretto, MN to visit my sister's son and then drove on to Madison from there. I had investigated B & B's in the Madison area from my home in Richardson, TX - the only one that had reviews that really stood out was Annie's. I was also impressed with the idea of us being the only ones on the property. Other B & B's don't have this to option - unless, of course, you want to buy out the entire home! Annie and Larry were the most gracious hosts. They have both lived such full lives that stories around the table were highly entertaining and educational. I could have sat at the breakfast table until noon just listening and gleaning from their conversation. The food was simply a pleasure. Annie mentioned numerous times that she loved cooking and it certainly showed. From the simple to the house special - we were treated with delicious fare. The gardens and gazebo were so inviting. It was still yet cool enough to enjoy the outside, though temperatures were rising everywhere! Larry was a great navigator and gave us directions to several places to visit. We enjoyed the trail around the lake, the downtown area near the capitol, antiquing, and a few nice restaurants in the area. Even though my mother was dependent on oxygen and we carted her about in a wheelchair - we had the most wonderful time in Madison. This made all the more enjoyable by our hosts at Annie's. I would definitely consider a return trip to this location where I feel like I have left four new friends, Annie, Larry, Midget, and Sparkles!! I would recommend this lovely home to anyone.
