Valentine’s Day, more than any other holiday, is an occasion to spend quiet time with the one you love. In the wooded hills and valleys of Southwest Wisconsin, three miles from the tiny villages of Soldiers Grove and Gays Mills,  the Inn at Lonesome Hollow offers luxurious rooms and suites set on 160 secluded acres. The Inn offers two person whirlpool tubs, fireplaces, beautiful decor and an amount of privacy that can’t be found in even a small town.

Between your full breakfast and your liesurely afternoon soak in the whirlpool, hike or snow shoe on four miles of private wooded trails. The Inn offers complimentary use of snow shoes. Additional hiking is available nearby at Wyalusing and Wildcat Mountain State Parks in WI, Effigy Mounds National Monument and Pike’s Peak State Park in Iowa, and at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve, an incredible 8000 acres of public land near La Farge, WI. Restaurants in Soldiers Grove, Viroqua, and Prairie du Chien offer excellent dining opportunities. 

Be alone, enjoy the natural beauty of the Kickapoo River Valley and the incomparable Driftless Area, drive the rural county roads that wind through the hills. A special Valentine Package is posted on the website – www.lonesomehollow.com.

Thanksgiving has come and gone; Christmas and the New Year are on the horizon. Now is a great time to plan a restorative getaway at our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast. Whether you need time to finish a project, a peaceful place to relax before hosting friends and family, or inspiration for gifts in unfamiliar shops, you can find it here.

Isn't this where you want to prepare for the holidays

The inn is situated on 160 peaceful acres in the rural, southwestern part of the state, not far from the Wisconsin Mississippi. It is an ideal place to hunker down with friends and take care of those last minute knitting projects you all have to finish by the 25th. Think of the fun you will have, side by side with your friends, creating something hand-made for someone special. Sip tea or wine together and talk late into the night as you inspire one another to work until you finish your projects; you won’t be tempted by the many distractions at home, but you should make time to stretch your legs with a long walk (or ski!) through the Kickapoo Valley. If you have a little extra time, head out for some interesting shopping.

The area surrounding our Bed and Breakfast Wisconsin is home to one of the largest Amish populations in the country. The Amish are known for their superior craftsmanship – echoes of an earlier time – and as a result there is some fine shopping near our inn. Peruse nearby Amish shops for beautiful quilts, sturdy baskets and attractive furniture, for you are sure to find a perfect gift for someone.

In short, you can’t afford not to take some time for yourself before the holidays -  take advantage of our internet special over the next couple of months, and travel for less. You’ll feel refreshed when you get back to the real world.

Of all our holidays, Valentine’s Day is uniquely personal and meant to share with the light of your life. Lonesome Hollow offers a perfect setting in which to unwind, enjoy the beauty of nature, and celebrate a special day with the one you love most. Enjoy a brisk winter walk or snowshoe our prairie and wooded hills. Soak in a two person whirlpool, or relax by your own fireplace.

Champagne by the Fire

Our 2009 Valentine Day special offers a two night stay, a $50 dinner certificate at one of three local restaurants, fresh flowers, and a box of hand-made chocolates for only $379. This special package applies to any of our B&B rooms, our cabin, or one of our deluxe suites, so book early to get your choice of lodging at Lonesome Hollow.

We hope that you can spend a quiet, peaceful Valentine getaway at Lonesome Hollow.

Would you like to get away for some private down time during the hectic holiday season? Or maybe travel somewhere new with family or friends to celebrate with those you love the most?

The Inn at Lonesome Hollow offers a completely private 160 acre setting in the beautiful Driftless Area of Southwest Wisconsin. If you have not seen our Driftless area and our Kickapoo Valley hills, you are in for a most pleasant surprise. Our landscape is one of continuous hills and valleys – a more rugged landscape than you have seen anywhere else in Wisconsin. The surrounding counties are rural and sparsely populated.

In this setting we offer our guests deluxe lodging options: three beautiful B&B rooms, a private, two-bedroom cabin, and two exceptional two-bedroom suites. All of our units have private baths and real gas fireplaces. Four of the units offer two-person whirlpool tubs. Full country breakfasts, winter hiking and snowshoeing, and memorable quiet time complete the enjoyment of a Lonesome Hollow holiday getaway.

Christmas lights on a snowy evening

Our Holiday Package is offered for two night stays between December 22 and January 10. This package includes a $25 dinner certificate at one of three local restaurants, complimentary wine and cheese at the B&B, a free gift from our gift case (up to $20 value), free use of snowshoes, and an evening bonfire with hot apple cider or hot chocolate.

We already have an abundance of snow and colder than normal temperatures. It’s looking like a white Christmas and New Year’s is in store for our area. This winter is shaping up to be similar to last winter, the kind of cold and snowy winters we remember from our childhood! Relive some old memories and create some new ones as well.

Treat yourself to a very reasonably priced holiday package this season. We will do everything possible to provide you with a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.
