Inn Serendipity Bed & Breakfast and Organic Farm
Detailed Information:
Completely powered by the wind and sun, the award-winning Inn Serendipity Bed & Breakfast in southwestern Wisconsin features hearty, seasonal vegetarian breakfasts mostly prepared with ingredients from the Inn’s organic gardens. Recognized as one of the "top 10 eco-destinations in North America" by Natural Home and featured in USA Today, ABC News and New York Times, the Inn is also the setting for innkeeper-authors’ books, ECOPRENEURING, RURAL RENAISSANCE and cookbook, EDIBLE EARTH. Nestled in the rolling countryside where the cows out-number the people, the Inn is near Monroe (the Swiss Cheese Capitol of the USA), Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin, and historic Galena (in Illinois).
