Breath of fresh air
Bed and breakfasts offer more than rest and relaxation with golfing, fishing, hiking and crafting

by heidi katchkey

Watch the red and yellow flames rise and dance in the fireplace while drinking hot chocolate. Wake up to the aroma of a home-cooked breakfast waiting right outside the bedroom door. Ease sore muscles in a steaming whirlpool. Experience the tranquil and harmonious sounds of nature with the leaves turning from green to yellow to red, all with the feeling of being at home. Get away from it all and experience a bed and breakfast. No work, no Internet, no phones. The chaotic cities disappear, replaced with a breathtaking view of the yellows, blues, pinks and purples mixing to create a stunning sunset.

Each bed and breakfast offers something unique to guests, which makes choosing just one a difficult task. While most bed and breakfasts offer a quiet and calm getaway, each offers a different type of activity connected to or located around the inn. From golfing to crafting, a bed and breakfast encompasses different interests for different people. Throughout Wisconsin, visiting a captivating bed and breakfast is easy, but finding one that suits an individual’s interests can prove challenging. Check out these enticing options for weekend getaways located throughout the state.

Get out on the green
Rocking chairs sway gently in the wind in front of a charming log home. Surrounded by countryside, Tauschek’s Bed and Breakfast Log Home is tucked away just outside of Plymouth in Sheboygan County. According to Golf Magazine, four golf courses in Sheboygan County are among the 500 best in the world. With award-winning golf courses literally minutes away, Tauschek’s Bed and Breakfast is a great choice for golf lovers.

Innkeeper Steve Tauschek built the log cabin with his own hands with help from friends. It is the only log bed and breakfast in the area. The log home has a rustic country feel and offers three rentable rooms: Bear, Moose and French Cottage. The French Cottage room is handicap-accessible with a private bathroom down the hall. Rates range from $85 to $135 per night, depending on the season. The warm, restful Bear and Moose rooms each come with private whirlpools. Beautifully designed secluded decks and sitting areas with accents of wood and cast-iron fireplaces create a country aura. Rates for the Bear and Moose rooms range from $100 to $145 per night.

Innkeeper Mary Jane Tauschek strives to accommodate guests in every way. “I want my guests to feel they could come home to comfort with a cozy space to get away in,” she says. Guests find chocolates on their pillows and a keepsake bar of soap to remember their stay at Tauschek’s. Homemade breakfasts also entice guests with inviting aromas each morning.

At Tauschek’s, guests remove themselves from a metropolitan lifestyle, but remain 10 minutes away from great golf courses. Whistling Straits, home of the 2004 PGA Championship, offers two challenging courses. Blackwolf Run Golf Course, in nearby Kohler, also boasts two award-winning courses, River and Meadow Valleys.  Right down the road are Quil Qui Oc Golf Club in Elkhart Lake, and The Bull in Sheboygan Falls, which was rated one of the top 10 new courses to play in 2003 by Golf Magazine.

There are no shortages of excellent golf courses in Sheboygan County, making Tauschek’s Bed & Breakfast Log Home an excellent getaway for golf enthusiasts.
