Wisconsin House

Hazel Green, Wisconsin.

An historic, comfortably furnished bed and breakfast, we're located just 10 miles north of Galena, Illinois, 13 miles west of Dubuque, Iowa, and 15 miles south of Platteville, Wisconsin. So close, so different! Stay with us and enjoy each of them.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The inn was built in 1846 as a stagecoach stop. Then Hazel Green was a bustling frontier village. Lead mining was the boom industry and smelting and moving the ingots to the east placed Hazel Green on the well-traveled road. Soon though, the miners would chase after gold in California, and the area would go into a boom and bust cycle depending on the demand for lead.

Today a few of the lead mines remain open as tourist attractions, and Hazel Green is a bedroom community for Galena and Dubuque and Platteville. The inn situated at the center of town offers its comforts to those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle of staying in Galena, Dubuque or Platteville.

The inn offers eight rooms for your comfort most with private bath. We serve a hearty, full breakfast each morning; many say it will lasts them till dinner. Snacks and soft drinks are available at any time.

During the warmer weather the garden and gazebo offer a refuge after a day of visiting the attractions of the area.

The restaurants of the area provide meals for every taste--fast food, home cooking, the supper club experience, as well as fine dining--with just as diverse ambiences. Our recommendations are free for the asking.

Ken and Pat Disch, innkeepers, invite you to browse the Wisconsin House Stage Coach Inn web site, visit the rooms, and call or e-mail with your questions or reservations. We look forward to your visit!
