Arbor House, An Environmental Inn

Arbor House, An Environmental Inn is one of Madison's oldest existing homes located across from the UW-Arboretum (1280 acres of nature). Originally built as a tavern and stagecoach stop, this 1800's landmark is evolving into a model for urban ecology. The Arbor House Annex is an award-winning structure housing a timber-framed great room and three incredible guest rooms. The inn is perfect for a business retreat or reunion with friends or family. Our gift certificates make wonderful gifts.
