Fantastic B&B

The Livingston Inn was fantastic. The Inn is in remarkable shape for being 160 years old, they did a wonderful job in fixing it up. The room was big and comfortable. Peggy is a great cook, at least for breakfast, her Swedish pancakes are better than the restaurants. When people comment about the conversations they have at breakfast they are not kidding! Peggy knows so much about that part of Wisconsin and made a couple of suggestions that were right on the money. We had a fantastic long weekend and will be back at the Livingston Inn the next time we go to Madison.

ウィスコンシン州マディソンの中心街に近く、州議事堂まで歩いて行ける利便性の良い立地にあるBed & Breakfast（大きな家）です。この辺りの地区で歴史的に保存される家に指定されており、古いけれど、きちんと管理がされていて、お部屋も清潔で心地良く過ごさせていただきました。オーナーの女性は気さくな方で、朝食には、とても美味しい手作りマフィンを出してくださり、宿泊客の要望に応じてマフィンのレシピまで教えていただきました。結婚５周年のお祝いで数日間ここに宿泊されていた若いご夫婦と一緒に色々お話しながら、楽しく朝食をとることができました。また、チェックアウト後も荷物をお預かりいただき、次の宿泊地までのタクシーも呼んでいただき、大変助かりました。インテリアも国際色豊かでゴージャス、１日という短い滞在でしたが、リッチな気分で充実した旅となりました。色々ありがとうございました。

Charming B&B close to Lake Mendota

Why husband and I chose the Livingston Inn for its proximity to the university and to the lake. The B&B is a charming Victorian inn, beautifully decorated and surrounded by lovely gardens. We were greeted by the owner, Peggy, who was warm, welcoming, and friendly. Our room was spacious and lovely, and had its own fireplace. Wine and beer were available when we checked in, and the full breakfast the next morning was delicious and substantial. The inn itself was very comfortable, and contained various rooms in which to relax or read. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Madison, and would recommend this B&B to anyone looking for a quiet and romantic get away.

Excellent stay - We will be back!

This place was very clean, beautifully decorated and true to its historic past. The attention to detail and remodeling was amazing! Our bathroom was modern and even included jets in the shower. The beach is just a short walk through an attached, glass conservatory and down a flower-lined path. Glorious sunset! Breakfast was delicious and our hostess was friendly and helpful with ideas about sight-seeing. We will go back for sure!

Loved our stay at the Livingston Inn

A stay at the Livingston Inn was a real treat. The owners Peggy & Dave are wonderful hosts and we enjoyed our time speaking with them on the back patio....thanks for the numerous restaurant recommendations (wish we could have tried them all). They have a wonderful B&B, full of history and interesting details. The house has beautiful gardens that also lead down to access path to the lake front where you can sit and enjoy the sunset with a complimentary glass of wine. Our room, the Willow, had a private bath, comfortable Queen bed, wonderful decor, and a fireplace (not sure if it was really or decorative as we did not use it). A home cooked breakfast served in the ding room was a delicious start to our day. We would love to return to the Livingston Inn one day.

Peggy was an outstanding host. She was generous with her time, helping me to figure out logistics for the nearby wedding I was attending, and went out of her way to show small gestures of hospitality. I had a great time eating her delicious breakfast and playing with her adorable dog; the house itself is delightfully charming, and the lakefront property unparalleled. I can't wait to come back!

Wonderful place to stay in Madison

What a wonderful place to stay while in Madison. Close to the capital and the lake but away from downtown in a pleasant neighborhood. Peggy the owner couldn't be more nice and makes a delicious breakfast. The place is a beautiful old home with all the amenities. Great place to stay.
