The Parlor

Our parlor, the walls adorned with beautifully framed floral paper cuts, immediately adjoins our six apartments. Any of our occupants is invited to spend time here alone or to quietly entertain guests.

What our former guests have said about us

"My first trip to Madison was to attend a graduation. My second will be simply to stay here again. California has nothing to compare."
— W. W., Santa Barbara
"If only more business travelers could stay at inns which engage their intellect and aesthetic sensibilities, who knows how much better off we would be."
— D. M., New York
"Thank you for the beauty of our bower, for murals whispering ancient stories as we sleep, for a quiet haven in the midst of this charming city."
— R. C., Chicago

Many of the authors who have read from their works in the bookstore have stayed with us. This is what some of them have said:

"This is by far the most wonderful and enchanting place on my entire book tour which spanned sixteen cities. I love this place. It's perfect. And you can't make me leave."
— Elizabeth Wurtzel
"Imaginative, amusing, restful, intellectual, convenient, handsome, luxurious, provocative, private, rare, convivial, pleasant, enjoyable, memorable, original and never to be forgotten. Yes."
— Annie Proulx
"Chaucer would have loved this place."
— Nancy Willard
