In a Few Words

Hello All,

We were busy this  Summer with putting together a new landscape in front of the building. Here are some pictures.










Fall came around with more beauty and relaxation time; it's a wonderful thing to be able to travel and a privilege for us to be here at your service!

We would love to share with you the publication of our new web page, we are very please the way it came out and the final work looks wonderful!

We do have a letter going our weekly and if you want to subscribe for that, we'll announce event or any changes you need to be aware off, or sign out for our offers we post occasionally. (go to our "contact us" tab and subscribe.



We did rearrange the furniture is room eleven; it looks a little more spacious!







And,... there is so much more we are planning to do...

Enjoy your Autumn and make the best of the Fall season and the upcoming holidays!

As always feel free to book online with us 24/7

The talk of the town

Oh, the beauty of the month of May! after all we have 5 weekends!

Time to celebrate Spring and the whole revival of nature; we've been enjoying the many birds' return and their morning singing, the yards are green and many of the trees show their buds.



The changes we had are looking good. New Director of the Spring Green Area Chamber of Commerce took over and the new web page came to live about 10 days ago. Visit the page for schedule of events and more.



We would highly encourage everyone to visit our community page! You will find links for many local businesses and events. 


Most restaurants offer - a Special Brunch for Mother's Day; see more on the Spring Green web page.





Mother's Day weekend is approaching and not only that but on May 10th there is something new going on!
Wings over River Valley announces a local event this Saturday. 


Most likely our independent store are offering live music every weekend.



Farmer's Market is opening the weekend of May 17th

the same weekend there is a special event in Muscoda, people visit from all over the states
- Morel Mushroom Festival
At the same time at the Shed there is the Literary Festival Plays Out Loud event on the 18th.



Wisconsin River Friends: Wild Harvest Gathering is hosting their event on May the 23- 25 

Also see if this page will run any program of your interest in the area - summer recreation activities

It looks like we have our busy schedule here; what's left for you to do is plan your travel right, stay with us for the night and enjoy the fun in the Valley

How To Book a Hotel Room at our property

Booking a hotel is very easy and there is a variety of ways to do it. 

Some people love the thrill of the bargain hunt; others want to talk to the hotel staff in person, so they can be sure and arrange exactly what they want.

Then, there are the people who let a travel agent handle it for them.
Also is the easy way of online booking search engine, showing you alternative days and room types when booking.

There are  a few common ways to book a hotel room with us. All of them will require a credit card, in order to reserve the room and secure your rate.

***Since we are an independent property, we do not have the same procedures for booking a room or saving a room as the chain Hotels do.

Do you Have people....


I've worked on different institutions in the past, holding different jobs, however, I am experiencing a new trend here at the motel business; customers I see for the first time or even saw just a year ago, come by the office to give me a hug.

Do you have people give you hugs at your job, or at your business?

I have people come to me and they say: "oh, Carolina, you did such a great job to this place, let me hug you; I hope you don't mind I will take pictures of such and such..."
Or just stop in the lobby before departing and give me a hug!....

...from kids, teens to middle age to older ladies,...they come to the office and give me HUGS....

I must be doing something wright, I would say.

Whatever business you are in - the question is : DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE GIVE YOU HUGS?....

This season happened more then ever.....I am glad to know people are leaving this place - HAPPY!
