Thank you for your interest in staying with us. La Grange B & B offers a country feeling with city convenience. Near I-90 & I-94, La Grange is just off Hwy 12/89 near the southern edge of Fort Atkinson, a few blocks from the famous Fireside Theater.
Our remodeled 1928 barn is open all year featuring full breakfasts, gourmet coffee, queen-size beds, and an outdoor reflection pool with enclosed deck. Our 1928 barn was actually used for grain storage until the end of World War II. At a time when housing was at a premium, the owner of this barn offered it to a couple who made it their home and, subsequently, that of their children. It seems that the ancient story of "no room at the inn," and the use of a stable, repeats itself.
La Grange means "the barn" in French. Following this theme in decorating, our inn features a French country motif. Each room carries a theme relating to the barn, but with a French interpretation. One bathroom door, for example, bears the words "salle de bain."
Located on a secluded lot, the pines, tall maples and walnut trees at La Grange provide isolation and plenty of shade as well as homes for squirrels and countless birds. Other outdoor features include benches for just sitting and observing nature, a fire pit for an evening marshmallow roast, and a selection of outdoor photo backdrops to capture special occasions.
The Fort Atkinson area, while within easy driving distance from Madison and Milwaukee, maintains the small-town atmosphere that reduces stress and truly makes visitors feel welcome. Events in the region are plentiful, ranging from sleigh rides and snowmobiling in the winter to fishing, craft fairs, and community picnics in summer. Concerts and outstanding dance and drama programs are available at the Fireside Dinner Theater and at nearby University of Wisconsin - Whitewater year round. Cafe Carpe provides great live entertainment on weekends. Or a guest may simply choose to sit in the great room and pet our domestic cats, Essie and Jeté. At La Grange, there is a lot to do or not do, as a guest may choose.
