| A view of our home/Bed and Breakfast from County Road T |
We are moving along with our plans for the Bed and Breakfast. We will start accepting guests May 26th. Check out our website at the end to book a room. We would love to host you all! We have decided on a name, and as you can read in the title of this blog, it is called Ugly Biscuits Bed and Breakfast.
 |
Come eat breakfast in our cozy and fabulous dining area. We have a nice Fireplace to keep you warm on those chilly mornings.

The name came about in a cute AH HA moment. Katie made biscuits for breakfast one morning. As she brought them out of the oven she said "My biscuits may be ugly, but they are delicious". We all looked at each other as one of us said "Ugly Biscuits should be the name of our Bed and Breakfast". We chuckled, and then realized it would be the perfect name. Of course we needed to do a little research on the name to make sure it was available as a business name. It was/is, so we are going with it. And of course the biscuits were delicious! Katie is a great chef, and she makes only vegan and vegetarian foods. We think the name will give a hint into the type of establishment we want to be. One with a good sense of humor. One that doesn't care about appearances all that much. One that will offer ugly, but delicious healthy foods.

Them are some ugly biscuits. (But Delicious)
|
We know not everyone eats vegetarian and vegan food. However we are confident that Katie's delicious meals will satisfy even the heartiest of meat eaters. Plus, keep in mind we only serve breakfast. So we certainly welcome carnivores, omnivores, and all other vores.
 |
| Yes, this is vegan. Looks delicious right? We will have other bagel sandwich options at times. |
 |
| Donuts are vegan too. Sugar is not an animal product :0) |
 |
Crepes with fresh fruit and cream cheese. Some will be vegan and some will be vegetarian

We feel we have a lovely place for a Bed and Breakfast, and we will offer up some unique opportunities. We are a kid friendly establishment. We will offer some fun stuff for the whole family like game nights and outdoor movies on the side of the house. We will have hammocks available for use in our own woods. We have about a mile of walking trails through the prairie and pines. Our two resident dogs can attest to how fun our trails are. We even have a few binoculars for wildlife and bird viewing. We have picnic tables set up at Picnic Point for quiet dining time if you like. If you look up, you can even see the huge owl nest. We hope to find a niche in family reunions, retreats, wedding parties, etc if possible. Of course we look forward to hosting anyone who wants to come play and relax here.

We have 6 rooms. Since we live in a natural area with a lot of wildlife, we have decided to name our rooms after wildlife. Not all of our names are native to Wisconsin. The only one we took "liberty" on is the Hedgehog Suite. Don't ask why, because we don't really know ourselves. Ha Ha. It is a spacious room. It is also our most luxurious room. It has a fireplace, reading space, private deck, and large bathroom with a rain forest shower head option. You will enjoy some great views of our Pine Forest, as well as some fun bird watching.

Next is the Fish Room. When we bought our place, this room had a large fish mounted on the wall. We have always referred to it as the Fish Room. The name stuck, and it led us to naming all of our rooms after animals. Don't worry, the fish is gone as we have done a little remodeling to make our rooms more cozy and comfy. The Fish Room is one of our more spacious rooms. It has a couch for relaxing and reading. A big window for viewing our Pine Forest, again with some fun bird watching. We have a bird feeding station set up out back by the entrance to our forest. It has a sliding door for private exiting/entering. It will have a small private patio for morning coffee, etc. It will share a large bathroom with the Deer Room.

The Deer Room is small and simple. The price will reflect that for the thrifty bed and breakfast goers. It does have a window view of our backyard forest, a mini fridge (as all of our rooms do), a decent size closet for the longer staying guests, and a comfy reading chair in room. It shares a bathroom with The Fish Room.
 |
The Deer Room. We think it is nice and cozy.

The Fox Suite is next. It is also a smaller room, BUT it comes with a private bathroom and shower. We would love to have all of our rooms have private bathrooms, but it just wasn't feasible with the layout of the house. We did add this bathroom ourselves, with help from our contractor of course :0). This room is also located towards the back of the house away from the kitchen, so it is a little quieter. With that and the bathroom, the price is a little more than some other rooms. We feel our prices should be affordable for most people however, depending on their needs and what they feel are the most important features for themselves.

The bathroom for the Fox Suite. It also has some closet space, you just can't see it in the photo.

Next to the Fox Suite is The Raccoon Room. It is another small, economy room. It has a nice closet. It also has two windows. One window has a view of the garden. The other window has a view of our prairie, where you will see flowers in late Spring and all summer. Plus there are tons of butterflies in our prairie. Once again it has reading chairs for your convenience. It shares a bathroom with The Owl Room.

The Raccoon Room. Notice the 2 windows for great viewing opportunities.

Last, but not least is The Owl Room. It is our smallest room. It does not have a closet, but it does have a funky little Wardrobe/Armoire which we picked up at a local antique store on The Square in downtown Baraboo. BTW, there are a few antique stores in Baraboo for your shopping pleasure. This room has a window towards the porch where you can see the garden and our front yard bird feeding station. It shares a bathroom with The Raccoon Room. We are also going to use this room as a "special" rate room for people who want to rent a second room for their kids. Ask about that, if you plan on bringing your kids.

As you can see, we will have 6 rooms to rent. We have 32 acres of land mixed with pine trees and prairie. We have a lot of creatures on our property like deer, raccoons, coyotes, opossum, and perhaps more? We even had a baby deer born in our front yard last year. We didn't see the actual birth, but we saw the baby struggle to stand up for the first time. It finally took its first steps as its mamma licked it. It was such a beautiful sight to behold. We also have a plethora of birds, including 2 great horned owls that have taken up residency in our pines. We have Whooping Cranes that live less than a mile from our property. Whooping Cranes are one of the rarest species on earth, as there are only 880 left in the world. In fact, George Archibald is a local legend who single-handedly saved the Whooping Cranes from extinction. You can learn about his story at the International Crane Foundation located just 5 miles from our place. We also have a pond 0.7 miles down the road where you can frequently see 2 bald eagles hanging around. Along with all the birds and other wildlife, we are in a convenient location. There are a hand full of attractions within a 15 mile radius of us. This includes, but is not limited to, The Circus World Museum, Devil's Lake State Park, and The Wisconsin Dells (famous for their wide variety of water parks). So come on out and join us.
Beautiful!! Do you guys have completely separate quarters?
