Do yourself a favor and book a room at the Arbor House Environmental Inn of Madison, WI. I've stayed in numerous B&B's in my life and can say, without a doubt that the Arbor House is one of the finest. The facilities and food are stellar. The owners are generous, enthusiastic and helpful without being in the least intrusive. Cross... More

I'll start by saying, B&Bs are not my favorite to begin with. I prefer a bit more seclusion from other guests. When I vacation, I don't necessarily want to interact with other people that much since I work with people on a day to day basis. Good--Great location. Got to Gates and Brovi one block away for a great lunch... More

My wife and I recently stayed at the Arbor House in Madison, WI and found it to be a wonderful/peaceful place to break away from the hustle of our everyday lives. The room was fantastic, and the amenities were perfect. We really enjoyed the breakfast annex and common area very much as well. The owners of this establishment must really... More

Love this place! My room (Ecovista) offered everything you could ask for in a charming, quiet B&B. I stayed upstairs in the historic house and breakfasted in the airy, spacious annex. The food is fabulous - gourmet level - tasty and healthy and served with elegance. I stayed 4 nights and didn't want to leave. I was snug and warm... More

I have thought about this review for a long time. I used the reviews of this property when I booked a trip for a football game in Madison. Depending on how much you travel and stay in bed and breakfast establishments, along with your expectations of a B&B, you will be very happy with Arbor House or very disappointed. We... More

We welcome all feedback although in this instance, the venue and the several month delay between a fall weekend stay and the Christmas Eve posting...is disappointing. In general, Arbor House guests are well-traveled and know a quality and value-added property when they stay at one. It appears that this guest may have wanted to find issue with other exceptional postings... More

My daughter & I spent three nights at Arbor House in Madison and we didn't want to leave! Our room (Parkside) was beautiful, comfortable, charming - we didn't want to leave the room, let alone the Inn!! The common room is also amazing - couch, fireplace (we came to Madison during a blizzard - 13 inches of snow), books, computer,... More

I stayed at the Arbor House for one night for a business trip. I didn't want to leave. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly employee and given a short tour. Wine and cheese in front of the fireplace was followed by a splendid evening treat and hot chocolate. I stayed in the Eco Vista room, a cozy, clean... More

We just returned from a short mini-honeymoon at the Arbor House. It was our first time there and we were thrilled. We loved the location and had not explored that part of Madison before--great shops, great restaurants, the arboretum etc. The service was impeccable--the room was adorable, cozy and comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious. Sitting by the fire each... More

My husband and I visited the Arbor House for the first time to celebrate our 4-year wedding anniversary in October. We were both thrilled with the beautiful rooms, the charming location, the helpful staff, and the accommodating service. I'm vegan, and every morning they provided a freshly made, healthy, vegan meal for me. We'll be heading back very soon for... More

We stayed at the Arbor House for one night on a business trip and wished we could have stayed much longer! The rooms were clean and very comfortable and the food was delicious.
