House on the Rock, Madison
About 40 miles west of Madison is where you will find the House on the Rock, which is without question a very unique Wisconsin tourist attraction. The brainchild of architect Alex Jordan, the House on the Rock started out as a private weekend retreat, but its unusual architectural style soon captured the attention of many. Due to the growing influx of visitors, Jordan eventually decided that his curious House on the Rock should serve as a tourist attraction. It was back in 1961 when this quirky Wisconsin tourist attraction was first opened to the public, and it's done well to bring tourists in ever since. In addition to the original fourteen-room home, the House on the Rock complex has grown to include other buildings, various exhibits, and even a few delightful garden displays.
The House on the Rock stands atop a 60-foot rock outcropping, which overlooks the scenic Wyoming Valley. When you first view the main house, it has an Asian appearance, looking much more like something that you would expect to see in Japan instead of Wisconsin. Word has it that the house was intended to mock the creations of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who's Taliesin home is located just to the north. It is rumored that Wright unceremoniously dismissed Alex Jordan from his Taliesin project, causing a rift between the two. Self-guided tours are offered at the House on the Rock in Wisconsin, and while seeing the house from the outside is a treat in and of itself, getting an inside look reveals a magical world that was created out of Alex Jordan's imagination.
There are three different self-guided tours that you can choose from when visiting the House on the Rock in Wisconsin, and they are offered during the Regular Season, which runs from late April to early November. Since the different tours at the House on the Rock cover different parts of the overall complex, it's recommended that you buy the Ultimate Experience Tour ticket, which allows you to enjoy each of the three tours at your leisure. The ticket is good for a year. There's a lot to see here, so it's nice to split up the experiences if possible. The main house is certainly a must-see, and its warm and tranquil setting extends through each of the original thirteen rooms. A fourteenth room, which is known as the Infinity Room, was added in 1985, and it is the next stop once you've admired the original house's blue stained glass windows and early collection pieces.
The Infinity Room extends out over the valley, and its 3,264 windows offer a spectacular view of the surrounding hills and forests. It's a nice complement to the somewhat cramped and dimly-lit original rooms, which are intriguing in a different kind of way. Before you even enter the main house, you'll stop at the Gate House, which was added in 1961. The Gate House is basically the home's foyer, and its stone walls and impressive fireplace set the tone for what's to come. You'll want to note the music machine that is found in the Gate House. It's one of various music machines that are spread about the complex. These music machines replicate chamber orchestra pieces, not to mention a range of other songs. The Gate House, the Original House, and the Infinity Room are all included in Tour 1, and if you also enjoy Tour 2, highlights include the Mill House, the Streets of Yesterday, and the Carousel. As a side note, fans of carousels and other carnival attractions will also enjoy a visit to the Circus World Museum, which is found in nearby Baraboo.
The House on the Rock's Mill House was built in 1968, and its huge fireplaces are among its main draws. You'll also get to admire some of Mr. Jordan's special collectibles, which include antique guns, dolls, and suits of armor. The House on the Rock in Wisconsin is an eclectic place, to say the least. As for the Streets of Yesterday, it aims to recreate a nineteenth-century street. Features include a brick road, a sheriff's office, and a carriage house, and antique decorations. After walking along the Streets of Yesterday, you'll head over to see The Carousel, which is definitely a top House on the Rock attraction. It is said to be the world's largest. No less than 269 handmade animals grace the Carousel, and it also boasts 182 chandeliers and some 20,000 lights! There are plenty of other great rooms and exhibits to see during your visit to the House on the Rock in Wisconsin, so you can easily spend the better part of a day here. After enjoying the first two tours, you can come back again for the third, which includes the dazzling Organ Room and the Circus Room, among others.
For those looking for lodging near this unique Wisconsin tourist attraction, The House on the Rock Inn, the North Lodge, and the House on the Rock Resort are all close by. The House on the Rock Inn offers comfortable rooms, 3 swimming pools, an exercise room, and a nice lounge, among other things, while the North Lodge specializes in simpler guest units that are great for the budget conscious traveler. As for the House on the Rock Resort, it's the nicest of the nearby lodging choices, and among its amenities are a 27-hole championship golf course, a spa, and a good on-site restaurant. Special vacation package deals are available at each of these lodging establishments.

Hotels in Madison
Whatever kind of accommodation in Madison you may be seeking, you'll find that you have scores of properties from which to choose. There are fine boutique and luxury Madison hotels because this is the capital of the state. There is also extremely good cheap lodging in Madison for two reasons. First, it is an important university city that caters to students and faculty on a budget. Second, the city is a hub for many nearby resorts like Wisconsin Dells.
There is very good cheap lodging in Madison to be had in all areas of the city. You don't have to resign yourself to being completely out of the way, or miles and miles from the best attractions. Even if you stay in one of the Madison motels or hotels around the airport, you are still fairly centrally located, as the airport is virtually in the city. If you like green spaces, there are many parks in the city (even one of the state parks is located here) and you will find good Madison motels near them, especially around Cherokee Park, which is right next to the airport.
While the city is fairly spread out over an area of nearly seventy square miles, even the suburbs have easy access to all the things to do. While you may be relegated to one of the Madison motels most of them are very clean, modern, safe, and relatively centrally located. These are excellent for Wisconsin vacations that include some tours and sightseeing in the city, and then moving on to other areas in the southern part of the state. Additionally, these properties will generally have easy access to the several freeways that intersect in the city.
Madison hotels that are actually located in the central district for dining, shopping, and visiting the city's attractions will probably be a bit more expensive. The very best location is around State Street, which links Capitol Square to the University of Wisconsin campus. You still will be able to find some cheap lodging in Madison in this prime area if you spend a little time doing your research. Other more expensive accommodation in Madison will be found on the lakes (there are three lakes right in the city) and closest to the golfing venues. There are more than ten city golf courses that are open to the public, including some literally within the city, near the capitol, and within the university campus.
Some Madison hotels are of interest due to their history. One of these is the Mansion Inn, located in the beautiful McDonnell Pierce House on Bug Hill. This is a masterpiece of German Romanesque Revival architecture built in 1857, and offers both luxury and elegance. It's set in a grove of butternut trees that has been landscaped into a Victorian garden with a beautiful fountain. It's only a few blocks from the capitol, State Street, and Lake Mendota. You'll find other historic accommodation in Madison are charming bed and breakfast inns. Some of these are in the city, and some are outside the city set in acres of property offering hiking, horseback riding, river sports, and golfing.

Madison Wisconsin
Madison Wisconsin is the capital of the state and, as home to University of Wisconsin at Madison (one of the largest public universities in the country), an important university city. The town was formed in 1836, and named for James Madison who was one of the founding fathers of the United States and our fourth president. The city has a street named for each of the original 39 men who signed the United States Constitution. It's a lovely small city, and the very beautiful university campus is central to its culture and ambiance.
During the 1960s and 1970s, the campus was a center of Civil Rights and Vietnam War demonstrations, and the university remains an intellectual and cultural center, with many events, theatrical performances, and music festivals being held there. There are four other colleges in the city, and its large student population means that there a number of clubs, cafés, restaurants, and other dining venues available for Madison Wisconsin visitors to enjoy. The Badgers, the nickname of the university's top-rated athletic teams, also draw thousands of sports fans.
The Dane County Regional Airport is one of the larger ones in the state, and many airlines to Wisconsin fly here. There are several car rental companies both at the airport (which is located virtually in the city itself) and in town. This makes finding transportation for your Madison vacation very convenient. Additionally, major highways intersect in Madison, so branching out to state parks and other resorts in the region is quite easy. The greater metropolitan area of Madison Wisconsin includes the nearby town of Baraboo, and your Madison vacation may well include a visit to one of its attractions, including the fascinating Circus World Museum.
Known as the "City of Four Lakes," as it is located on the shores of Lake Mendota and is in close proximity to Lake Monona, Lake Waubesa, and Lake Kegonsa. These lakes are major Madison attractions and provide many things to do in Madison as well as contributing to the scenic beauty of the city. In addition to lake activities, there are many river sports available as all the lakes are fed by a number of rivers and waterways that eventually drain into the Mississippi River. Since its location in the southern part of the state gives the region a temperate climate, the summer activities generally begin early in the spring and last late into the autumn. In the winter, the lakes provide opportunities for ice fishing, ice racing, and skating.
One of the things to do in Madison is explore the city's history, including the capital building, which is one of the main Madison attractions drawing visitors. Many events are centered around the capitol building and along State Street, which links it to the university campus. In the summer, there are free concerts on the lawn, and the square hosts the popular weekly Dane County Farmers Market. The city also hosts the state's largest fireworks extravaganza, called Rhythm and Booms, on the Fourth of July. Numerous music festivals occur during the summer, and even a few in the winter. Madison attractions also include a number of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, as he spent a great deal of time here.
Outside of Madison Wisconsin you will find the remarkable House on the Rock. Near Taliesin is an iconic Frank Lloyd Wright house that is internationally famous. Nearby, you can also explore one of the state's caves, Cave of the Mounds, which is a National Natural Landmark. Other things to do in Madison include golfing, as there are a number of courses and golf clubs actually in the city limits. You can take a dinner cruise on one of the lakes, tour a cheese factory and one of the state's wineries, or drive to Wisconsin Dells to experience one of the many water parks in the region. There are parks and beautiful botanic gardens, a highly-respected zoo, and a brewery offering tours and tastings!
As you can see, a Madison vacation offers a great many things to do both in the city itself and in the surrounding area.
