What an interesting and fun place to stay the night in Baraboo. Super friendly hosts, a very cosy room and lovely home with fun and interesting Ringling bros circus memorabilia. We enjoyed a tour around Baraboo learning all about the Ringling family and their circus enterprise. Highly recommend for travelers.

What an awesome B&B!! The mansion was built by one of the Ringling Bros. in 1901 and converted with attention to detail, love and care by the current owners. The room we stayed in was clean and well-appointed. The bed was comfortable but a bit "creeky" as you would expect with an antique. The room had 2 closets plus a large bathroom. The breakfasts served on the original dining room table and side tables were delicious. We highly recommend this B&B.

We absolutely loved this unique property. We felt like we were sent back in time. The furnishings and home were beautiful. We walked to town for music and drinks. It was a great stop between Devil's Lake and Wisconsin Dells. The owners were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was delicious. We would totally recommend a stay here.

Charming old house with high-ceilinged rooms beautifully decorated in the Victorian style. Our room was bright and pretty and overlooked the back yard. Bathroom was large with modern fixtures. Delicious gourmet breakfast at a big table with other guests. It was our privilege to stay in this house, which once belonged to Charles Ringling of Ringling Brothers fame.

One of the Ringling Bros owned this house so it was historical. I wanted to see the elephants at Circus World before they "retire" at the end of the season. Shopping around the square was fun. We live in a rural area where grocery shopping is about the limit. It was a great get-away.

Unique and memorable place to stay. Owners are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Baraboo and the surrounding area. It's an old wooden house; the exterior is due for some attention and some doors stick, but otherwise it's comfortable and functional. Lovely interior construction and much original furniture. I hope to return.

Our stay at the Ringling House was most enjoyable and well worth the fee that we paid to stay at this Bed and Breakfast. Have stayed at a number of B & B's over the years and will say that this one ranks as one of our tops. Great old-time structure that has been well preserved. Our hosts were very gracious in making sure we enjoyed our stay.
