We stayed at a historic bed and breakfast called Arbor Inn. The first two days we stayed in the Tap Room, the balance of the time we enjoyed the Studio with Max.
Formerly The Plough Inn, the historic structure served as a tavern and a stagecoach stop dating back to 1853. The Plough building is on the national register for historic homes and is one of Madison’s oldest existing homes. Visitors would hitch their horses outside on the their way in or out of town for a refreshment. They would then dance in what is now the sitting room and if necessary they could sleep in one of the bedrooms upstairs. It was a rowdy loud tavern known for rough characters and some bar room fights. Thus receiving the nickname "Plough Inn and Stagger Out."
The TAP ROOM was once a popular tavern in which carriage travelers stopped for spirits. A king bed, claw-foot bubble bath tub for two, stone shower, stove fireplace and dart board complete this historic gem.
The STUDIO is a bright and expansive environment with a prairie influence. A cathedral ceiling, skylights and a natural linens on a king-size bed comprise the former art studio of UW Professor Stebbins. Separating the suite's two rooms is an original exposed brick wall. Guests can retreat to the bath's skylit whirlpool tub and then unwind in front of the stove fireplace. This room also serves as our family suite.
