Leaf peeping in Wisconsin goes well beyond the windshield.

You can ride above it on a chairlift or pedal right through it on a state trail. Back roads and Lake Superior shoreline drives offer two more ways to take it in.

Much of the state hits peak color by the second week of October, so this weekend is prime time. Northern spots like Bayfield turn first, while the Driftless hills around Baraboo hold their color a little longer.

Its secluded location is perfect for sleeping and relaxing, and you’ll have easy access to all the experiences found in the quaint nearby towns of Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Boyne City.

Decked out with everything you’ll need, from cozy robes to comfy hand-made queen beds, the rooms are designed with your comfort in mind.

Have your morning coffee at the bistro table in the bay window, or step out the glass doors onto the deck overlooking the gardens. Tucked in a corner of the room is a gas fireplace for those chilly nights.

Guests enjoy “scenic breakfasts” as breakfast is served in a four-season sunroom that overlooks the beautiful pond, gardens, and pool beyond. Wander through lush gardens, gaze at serene ponds, and meander along nature trails after you book your next getaway today!
