Naeset-Roe Inn

The Flower Factory Nursery ,  just outside of Stoughton WI is open and waiting for your arrival.  The weather may be a little screwed up with 80′s a few weeks ago and freeze warning for tonight, but The Flower Factory Nursery is open and selling the Midwest’s largest selection of perennials, hostas, and ornamental grasses.

And that is exactly what it has been doing for the last 18 hours. And we only have about 19″ of wet heavy stuff with lots of limbs down. But the good part is that we will be having good cross county skiing in December at Lake Kegonsa State Park and the snowmobile trails will be open. (more…)

A Staycation is what a lot of you are doing this year.  Taking a guick overnight or two night trip, not to far away from home, just to get away and do something differant.  Instead of that 10 day trip to the Rocky Mountains.  It isn’t going to break the bank and you’re away from reality for a while. 

Thnik about visiting Stoughton WI and experiance all the historyof this Norwegian founded city.  Architeture to art are all around.  Shop Main Street then grab a pizza and a movie.  Classes are another option. All this is only walking distance from Naeset-Roe Inn.  The Victorian bed and breakfast in StoughtonWI.  A show, dinner, a great bed and a fabulous breakfast.  What could be better?

Looking for something to do after the summer?  Think about an Over Night Staycation to Stoughton WI and Naeset-Roe Inn.  Pair it with a concert at The Stoughton Opera House and dinner at Laz Bistro. 

You’ll be staying in a quite Victorian B&B and you can walk to the theater and bistro.  You don’t have to worry about having a second glass of wine or a night cap before you come back to the inn.

The Stoughton Opera House has released a sneak peek of the up coming season (more…)

Ham or bacon, seafood for breakfast, socialism or democracy, the best quilt store Saving Thyme and the perfect place to buy a wedding gift Clock Tower Gifts.  These are some of the subjects that came up in spirited conversation over breakfast this last weekend at Naeset-Roe Inn in Stoughton, WI.  One guest made the comment that they have never had breakfast last 1 ½ hours and enjoyed it so much.

It made me think, “Do people actually read this blog and if they do what do they think?”, “What has happened to conversations?”  A friend and shop owner released her first email newsletter this week.  Scentimints a bath, body and candle scent shop, where I get all my candles from, has a forum in the newsletter where people can make comments.  So I went and made a comment about what a great job she did on the newsletter and what great products she has.  Later when I went into the shop to pick up some things, she made the comment, “thanks for putting something on the forum, maybe others will realize that it isn’t just for reading.”  The conversation went the way I was thinking earlier, what do people really think, and why don’t they tell us.

We as small business owners can only meet your expectations if we know them.  Don’t be afraid to let someone know what you want or if something isn’t quite right.   Don’t forget to compliment them when something is good also.  I as a B&B owner check light bulbs and drains regularly but if a bulb goes out while you are here let me know so I can replace it, or if a drain is running slow let me know so I can fix it.  It’s the same with this blog.  If you like what you read make a comment at the bottom.  If you would like to hear more about a subject make a comment and I’ll let you know more.  I know that it takes a little longer to write a comment than it does to speak one but this is the forum that I’m using and I’d like to know what you think.

What do you think?

Summer is here, at least that is what the calender says.  I’m still not convinced though.  I still have weekend nights open for the summer at Naeset Roe Inn so check out the website and the availability calender.  So plan your Staycation now. (more…)

Just got done with a Girl Friends Weekend for the Red Bowl Club.  Did they have a good time!  So did I.

The Red Bowl Club is a group of 7 girl friends that have been getting together for about 12 years.  Once a year they pick a B&B and go there to reconnect, regroup and have a great time.  And that is exactly what they did.  I know that the piano hasn’t been played that much in 6 years.  It held up well and the harmony was good.  They accompanied themselves with a set of tuned plastic pipes that you hit on yourself or others to get the note out.  What a blast.  As you can imagine breakfast conversation was lively and they sure enjoyed the food as much as I enjoyed making it for them. (more…)

Well spring is coming to Naeset-Roe Inn.  the crocus are finally starting to bloom and other spring bulbs are starting to peak their heads out of the ground.  This means that Summer isn’t far away and that you should be looking to book your staycation at Naeset-Roe Inn bed and breakfast soon  You don’t have to go far to have a get away. (more…)

Getting cabin fever and need to get away.  Well Stoughton has some great things coming up this month.

My favorite Gallery is having a new show entitled “Special Places”  the artist is Tim Mulholland.  The show runs trough April 19th.   But you can enjoy it from the beginning with the Artist’s Reception Friday, March 6th, 5pm – 8pm.  Visit RobertRaeGallery.com.  The gallery is only two blocks from Naeset-Roe Inn, 184 W. Main Street., so it is a nice evening walk away, even in this cold March weather.  Tim does a wondeful job with his camera, and has a great collection of Wisconsin scenes.

The Stoughton Opera House is offering some good shows this month.  Visit the Stoughton Opera House Website for more information.
