More access, more mobility, more options!


I hope everyone has a great look into spring so far, and that you are planning for a memorable special Summer!

In previous post we mentioned how we took the opportunity with today's technology and gone mobile with our business listing; I hope that the exposure to many and accessibility help you on your decision making on choosing your lodging.

The idea of keeping up with all the social media is to offer your customers all kinds of perks to save them time and money!

Convenience: newly introduced - while on facebook - look for the orange square to reserve your room and book online right from FB page - a new window will open with descriptions and rate.

Here is the place to be! Relax!




In the mixt of refreshing our web page we came across of another opportunity to offer you; feel free to take advantage of it, SAVE when booking Packages with your room! 

This link will get you to the page where you can book the package of your preference, so far there are many package options for you to choose!

It's as easy as 1,2,3 to find all the information on our web page; click on Room and Rates and decide!

Sometimes, I get calls for people and there is a surprise that we would even offer such things, like online booking, shopping gifts on our page or some other extras.

Rooms view of the backyard garden!



We live in a small community but, - yes is where you find beauty and relaxation, - that doesn't mean that we should not have the best, or offer  you the latest technology and have you find an easy way to connect with us!

Have fun browsing for your next best vacation spot! Make it to Spring Green, WI.

MAY - our anniversary month!


Let's talk about the making of this establishment, originally known as Rest Haven Motel, DBA (doing business as) The Usonian Inn LLC, we are trying to preserve all its original elements and features. Here is a brief historic facts!

The talk and planning and all that, started in 1948.

J. Carry Caraway, formerly of Taliesin and living in Clyde at the time was the architect for the building.
Back then, it took longer to have a property design and build then in the 21st century. Kraemer Bros.  of Plain was designated to take on the project of building.

Here is a picture of the construction crew





The motel known as "Rest Haven" will be completed in 1952 and in operation by May 15th

The motel was the first highway lodging property placed between Madison and La Crosse on Highway 14.  That is a big stretch of 126 miles.

"Spring Green's Newest business enterprise, a modern, 10-unit motel near the intersection of Highways 14 and 23 a half mile northeast of the village, has been completed and was opened last week by the owners, Mr. and Mrs John Michels"

"A tow-story home for the Michels family forms the center of the structure, and long, low wings on either side house the motel units." 
                                                             Home News Spring Green WI May 15,1952

Once, more recent, an architect told us that the architecture of the structure looks worm and makes it very welcoming, like two open arms ready to hug you!

    "The long, flat roof of the motel can be used by the Michels family as a terrace for outdoor living. 
     Each spacious room of the motel has its own bathroom, indirect lighting, radiant heating, and furnishing of modern design.
     Within a week after it had opened for business, the motel owners had accommodated visitors from six states, and one of their overnight guests was Bob McGrath who plays with the Brooklyn Dodgers."
