In 2008 the Inn at Lonesome Hollow earned its Travel Green Wisconsin certification. This certification recognizes that ILH has undertaken a significant number of recycling and energy saving practices, and that it promises to lay out a yearly plan for continued progress in these critical areas.

The Hills at Lonesome Hollow

Our objective is to continue to provide first class lodging and recreation to our guests while at the same time lessening our impact on the environment. We have committed  to purchase more expensive but environmentally friendly cleaners and detergents; we are replacing lighting with lower energy options; we continue to look for ways to minimize our purchase of plastic food and drink containers; we are reducing our use of fuel used for our vehicles and our landscape maintenance equipment; we are using more locally produced food and drink; and perhaps most important, we maintain more than one hundred acres of forest that absorbs carbon dioxide from the environment for six months of the year, and incorporates much of it into valuable hardwoods used by furniture makers.

We will continue to look for new ways of being greener. Your suggestions are most welcome.
