Okay, so your wondering what kind of "Knitwits" stay here! Please let us clarify who they are. The "Knitwits" are a group of wonderful ladies who get together for fellowship and knit while visiting. And what a fun group of gals they were.
The Westby House is perfect for girlfriend getaways. Best to book all five rooms in the Main House, then there are no worries of being to noisy...just laugh, laugh, and laugh!
Thanks gals for a great weekend.

The Pinewood Room in the Guest Lodge is just that; cozy and welcoming! The cabin decor and privacy add to its charm. We are lucky to have several nice restaurants with gourmet food in close proximity to the inn. We can make advance reservations/recommendations for you. Just call us.
Thanks for the review.

The Westby House property is unique in that is offers its 9 accommodations in three separate houses with each having its own style and feel. The Guest House offers whirlpool tubs and gas fireplaces, while the Guest Lodge experience is more of a cabin feel. The Main House is the Queen Anne style home built in the late 1890's and decorated to its period time.
Larry & Patty, it was our pleasure to offer you a wonderful stay and we look forward to your return. Hopefully a room, or suite, will be open in the Main House.

The Westby House~ a Unique Retreat and now "A Great Escape"! The Pinewood Room in the Guest Lodge does have that Escape atmosphere. From the knotty pine walls and ceiling to the open loft bedroom area, and not to mention the fly-fishing theme, it is no wonder you had a "Great Escape"! We look forward to seeing you soon at the Westby House.

By this review, it sounds like the Scandia Room in the Westby House Guest Lodge met every expectations that we were hoping it would when the lodge was constructed in 2001. If it is privacy you want and you are on the go all hours, then either the Scandia or Pinewood Room will fit your needs. Thank you Pam and Jim for taking the time to tell others of your weekend getaway.

Westby is a fly-fisherman's paradise with over 200 miles of Class A trout streams and we are glad we can provide Habitat for fisherman guests too. Glad to provide that service. We realize there are times that guest's schedules, like prime fly-fishing, do not fit into our listed check-in time period. By letting us know that your schedule will not work into our check-in time frame, we will do our best to grant extended check-in times. Fishing season is open until last weekend in September. Come see us and stay in the Pinewood or Scandia Rooms.

At the Westby House our goal is to make a difference in why you choose us for your b&b experience. During your stay we make every effort to make that difference and meet your desires. The firmness of pillows is just one of the many amenities we offer. Since the firmness of a pillow is a very personal desire, we hope that you will find your right comfort level in the various firmnesses offered in the extra pillows stocked in each room. Breakfast selections for multiple night stays are alternated with a variety of egg based entrees such as breakfast strudel, mushroom egg biscuit, BLT egg bake and non-egg based entrees like cherry stuffed french toast, pumpkin-sour cream pancakes or stuffed blintzes. Offering this style of breakfast is the "anticipation" of the dining experience. We look forward to your stay and wishing happiness and joy this season.

Southwest Wisconsin has so much to offer to travelers. It's beauty, from the high ridges and low valleys, to winding roads and creeks. The Amish community and outdoor sports of biking, hiking and canoeing draw folks to this area. Exploring the area is a great pastime and returning to the Westby House afterwards adds to a relaxing weekend. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Our staff appreciates your comments on the property as we continue to meet our standards everyday. Thank you for bringing the coffee quality to our attention. The food service equipment vendor had done routine maintenance on the machine last week. We have asked them to return to check that all settings are correct, or if a setting has failed. We have investiagated on our own as well and find that there may be some inconsistance in the brew but not sure. Thank you again.

It was our pleasure to have you as your first time B&B. Our goal is to meet all expections during the guest's stay. The fall colors and the unexpected warm day were perfect for our travelers. The Westby House does have central air through out the inn. On unexcepted warm days it does take time to overpower Mother Nature. With the seasons changing, the Westby Suite is a wonderfully romantic room where you can enjoy the fireplace.
