Welcome to the Brisbane House Vacation Rental! William Henry Brisbane was born and raised in the deep South but soon learned he didn’t belong because he vehemently opposed slavery. He made his way to Arena, Wisconsin, where he built this house in 1868 from stone carved from the nearby bluff. The recent award-winning restoration includes modern comforts and sensitive contemporary design.
Nestled amidst the river valley bluffs and scenic farmland of rural Wisconsin, Brisbane House offers a tranquil escape. 18 wooded acres envelops the house inviting you to relax. Wander past the flower gardens onto the wooded trails maintained by the Prairie Enthusiasts.
Hike and bike along scenic trails. Fish in nearby streams and boat on the Wisconsin River. Snowshoe through the woods or ski at local ski hills. A fire pit in the yard is inviting any time of year! While Brisbane House offers a peaceful retreat, it’s also conveniently located near a variety of attractions and points of interest. Guests can easily explore charming small-town shops and favorite cultural destinations like American Players Theater and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin. Book your next getaway today!
