We're looking for a partner! JUST REDUCED!!!!
The Speckled Hen Inn is a multiple Award-Winning farm to table bed & breakfast located on a stunning 18.52 acre country estate that is only 7.5 miles from the Capitol and UW Madison! We are seeking prospective innkeepers to purchase and continue to run the Inn which is on 2.5 acres.
We want to retain the remaining 16.2 acres which includes a separate house, barn and agricultural land so that we can position the property to be a major Agri-Experience destination! With orchards, berry patches and gardens producing over 35 fruits and vegetables, the Inn offers a fabulous farm to table breakfast experience, unlike any other B&B in most of Wisconsin! We are now in the Dane County Farmer's Market on Capital Square which offers us the unique opportunity for marketing the Inn to 40,000 attendees each week!
