Guest Reviews

Perl (10/5): -
Jina (10/5): -
Hill (10/5): -
Gwen (10/5): Terrific trip; the historical aspect of staying at Ringling House made it even more special. - Breakfast both days was incredible. I wish I could cook like Julie.
Kent (9/5): -
michael (8/5): - The house and hosts I tried 3 times to watch TV. The channels either didn't work or written instructions are needed (I didn't get the chance to ask for help)
Suellen (10/5): -
Deborah (8/5): - Beautiful vintage home full of period antiques. Room #4 was small (as advertised), but we were fine with that. Our room faced 8th St., which is also alternate 90/94 at that stretch, so there was some traffic/truck noise. Didn't unduly bother us, but FYI. Weirdly there was no hair dryer so our 1st night I went to dinner with very wet hair. Luckily it wasn't that cold. (I could have knocked on the "Private" door to ask, I suppose, but didn't seem to rise to that level of urgency. When I did ask the next day, Julia said, "oh yeah, I took it out to give to another room and forgot to put one back". And then while I was looking for one, I noticed clothes (of a past guest I assume) in a dresser drawer, and when I pointed that out to Julia, she said "oh yeah, I don't always check after every guest." So both those comments gave me a faint sense that they're not as on top of things as they should be.... Also, FYI mattress in room #4 was very soft! But if you're into the Ringlings and the circus, this is a great place for you to soak up their history. For us (who had been there 10+ years ago and already did all the circus stuff), it was a very convenient place to stay for exploring Devils Lake trails, the Int'l Crane Foundation, and Parfrey's Glen.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The decor was lovely and cozy. Such a unique property! Would definitely book again.
R (6/5): - French press! Could use a hair dryer and double ply toilet paper. The sink leaked
Alexander (10/5): - Beautiful property! Lots to learn about in this gem.
Ralf (9/5): Charming, storied B&B in walking distance from historic downtown Baraboo -
Sigal (10/5): Extraordinary ! - The beautiful history of the Ringling Brothers was present in every room as well as the well kept details of the original house itself. The main couple hosting us was also very kind, friendly, and helpful! The house was very clean. Such a fun, unique way to spend a weekend. Nothing
william (9/5): -
Cheri (8/5): - It would definitely not work for disabled persons. Two flights up stairs to rooms. Food was excellent and served hot. Owners were nice and friendly.
Danielle (8/5): They made my 55th Birthday getaway very special and memorable. - Everything History and Decor plus the location was wonderful
Tatyana (9/5): -
Kendalynn (8/5): Very good - Great location, easy walk into town.
Ed (10/5): Exceptional -
Nancy (8/5): - A beautiful old house is need of some upkeep. Room was a little dark. Nice early wine and cheese plates for guests. Breakfast was good.
Amy (10/5): - Sweet, homey, cozy, and historic! The Ringling Bros history was a delight, and the hists are so kind!! This is my s
Julie (8/5): Very good -
Jennifer (10/5): Romantic getaway with great event in a beautiful and historical mansion - Gorgeous space, location, charming hosts and guests We loved it all!
Taylor (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the hospitality and the charm of the house. The only thing I didn't like is the sink was pretty close to the toilet.
Matthew (10/5): - Great balance between historical and comfort.
Ayken (9/5): Superb -
Diane (10/5): Cozy stay in a historic mansion. - The property is historic and beautifully furnished. Our room was cozy and the innkeepers were welcoming. The breakfast was delicious. Nothing.
Kimberly (6/5): It was just OK. - The room was very clean. The shower was great, good water pressure. Great location. The memorabilia was interesting, very beautiful Christmas Village they had up. The music playing fit the house. The hosts were nice. The breakfast wasn't to our liking. It lacked some flavor, and could have been a bit more jazzed up. I thought they could have done better than Brown and Serve sausage. The coffee wasnt very good. The electricity went out twice, only in our room, but it is an old house and they had a portable air conditioner that probably over loaded our room. The bathroom door hinges broke off the door, but again it's an old home. It wasn't a horrible experience, it just didnt knock our sox off. It was a 6/10 and we paid $449 for 2 nights. I guess I expected just a bit more.
Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
Peter (10/5): Highly recommend; historical decor with modern amenities and a lovely breakfast - Julie and Stu's were very communicative before my stay and flexible in allowing me to check in late. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and had all of the amenities. Breakfast was really nice; each morning, there was a hot item, a pastry, yogurt, assorted fruits, and juice, tea, coffee, or water. The hot items were really great, as was the coffee! Highly recommend staying at Julie and Stu's B&B :)
Janet (10/5): Exceptional - very cute historic home. Breakfast was delicious!Nice town with plenty to do nearby.
Sharon (9/5): Na - Breakfast was quite good. All was good.
Kathy (10/5): - Friendly fun comfy stay😍
Joan (10/5): - 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.
Laura (10/5): - Excellent homemade, delicious breakfast and friendly, accommodating hosts. Beautiful vintage decor throughout house and in our rented room with modern facilities including the shower/bathtub. Extremely clean and very well maintained. Comfortable bed and overall just a lovely place to stay. Would definitely stay there again.
Didier (9/5): Superb - Lovely place, a charming house with a rich history in a beautiful town.
Monica (8/5): Very good -
Barthels (9/5): Superb -
Kaylea (10/5): Exceptional - Julie was very hospitable and accommodating. Breakfast was absolutely amazing. The location was wonderful.
Terry (10/5): - 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.
Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
Susan (10/5): Don’t miss this gem of a b&b when you visit Baraboo! - Updated with all the modern conveniences without losing the charm of the era in which it was built. Nothing
Carol (9/5): What a delightful place full of charm, history and hospitality. Julie and Stu are delightful hosts. - Everything was wonderful. The house was beautiful, we so enjoyed the lovely porch. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed hearing about the history of the house and city. The air conditioning was really loud and the temperature was inconsistent, however we were grateful for the air conditioning considering the houses age.
Randy (7/5): Good -
Schai (8/5): I frequent Baraboo on a regular basis and the B&B is usually booked. Am glad I had a chance to stay there. - I liked the historical feeling of the home. The owner has furnished it as authentic as possible and gives a lovely tour of the home following breakfast in the morning. The breakfast was delicious, served at my own little table. Fortunate for me, the rest of the guests that night were very social and we were able to strike up a lively conversation. No elevator. Had I thought about it, I should have asked and could have planned better. One of the owners did transport my bag down in the morning but wasn’t happy about it even though I tipped him well.
Marsha (9/5): Stay in a piece of circus history! - It was awesome to stay in a piece of history! The Ringling circus family has always held my interest, so being immersed in one of their homes was so special. Julie and Stuart have done a great job maintaining this home, and are great hosts.
Maleea (7/5): Good -
Stuart (10/5): Exceptional -
Heekyung (10/5): Exceptional -
Alexis (9/5): Superb - Amazing ambiance. Lovely hosts.
Patrizia (10/5): - We had an amazing stay. Everything was perfect and the hosts were very nice and pleasant people to talk to. The property has a lot of character and you feel to be back in time. The room was beautifully decorated and the bed very comfortable. We will be back.
David (9/5): Excellent, feels-like-home place. Julie and Stu are excellent hosts -
Mike (9/5): Superb -
Paula (8/5): Wish I could have stayed longer! I missed the tour of the house. - Dining table place settings very organized. Liked hearing the ghost stories. Beautiful house! Good food! Elevator didn’t work (I have rotator cuff issues). Stu carried my suitcase up the stairs for me however.
Gayle (9/5): The Ringling House was part of our circus weekend experience! Beautiful home! - Breakfast was great and we had a nice visit with the other guests and owners.
Eugene (10/5): - The host was very friendly and accommodating.
Mary (10/5): Historic Mansion with charm - Historic aspect amazing as well as location. Tour and history of Mansion very informative. Also, breakfast was amazing Of course when we stayed, the temperature was 100 degrees unfortunately, the portable AC wasn't keeping up. I didn't ask if they had fans, but that would have been nice to keep the room cooler.
Linda (8/5): - 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.
Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
John (10/5): Exceptional -
Charlotte (10/5): - Circus theme was unique, host & hostess were great and the breakfast delicious
Barbara (10/5): Exceptional -
Christopher (10/5): - Historical!
Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
Karen (9/5): Superb -
Donna (8/5): - Quaint antique home. our room was small and painted dark gray. The lovely bed creaked. The portable air conditioner cooled well but was loud. The modern bath was ideal. the breakfast was formal and did not serve eggs. an interesting experience from the past.
Brenda (10/5): - Lovely home and staff.
Lawrence (8/5): Very good - the bed was a little hard to get in and out of because of its height off of the ground.
Robert (9/5): Great house in a nice circus town full of older buildings. - Great hosts. Very knowledgeable about the home, it's history and the area. Great breakfast in the beautiful dining room. Loved the furnishings and the way they restored the house with new plumbing and wiring instead of remodeling it.
Rita (10/5): - Great location, lovely place to stay, kind and considerate hostess. Highly recommend!
Marcia (8/5): Very good - our #3 was just too small for 2 people. we went to the hallway to get another chair. it would be lovely for 1 person,
Jeff (10/5): - We went to the circus museum. The Ringling home is beautiful.
Jana (8/5): - Charming house with generous hosts and amazing breakfasts.
Rosewicz (8/5): Very good -
Lynn (10/5): - The glutenfree breakfast was great
Charles (10/5): - I really loved visiting this property. The owners were extremely attentive and friendly. The house has great history and the owners know ALL about it.
Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
Jenna (9/5): Great value for a lovely house, great food, and fun history - I loved the history of the house and the breakfast was top shelf. Signage was a little difficult in the dark.
Winter (5/5): Passable -
Kristoffer (10/5): Enchanting bed and breakfast, charming and delightful. - Ringling House totally exceeded my expectations, after staying for a week in a standard hotel, Ringling house was a fabulous change of pace, taste and comfort. I booked the Charles and Edith room with the four poster bed, which was exceptionally comfortable. The decor is amazing and the atmosphere of this house exudes so much history. I knew nothing of the Ringling brothers and the circus history, but learnt so much about them from the host, Julie, and also the circus museum in town. The sitting room and the library were peaceful havens for sitting and reading, and Julie presented delicious breakfasts and chats each morning. There is ample parking at the back of the property, and you can easily walk into town if you fancy partaking of the local eateries. Julie was very knowledgable about the area and its history and was such a great host. If I return to Baraboo, I will be staying here. Absolutely nothing.
Jack (10/5): We both enjoyed the stay. - The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding community. Breakfast each morning was nutritious, plentiful, tastefully prepared and presented. Coming back in warmer weather, which is our plan!
Aaron (9/5): Convenient and atmospheric - It was a very atmospheric place to stay but the bathroom was all updated, which made it very comfortable. Great breakfast and within walking distance of good food in downtown Baraboo. For my personal preference the bed was a little soft and the covers a bit thin for winter, but I ended up sleeping well.
Cherity (9/5): Superb -
Olivia (8/5): Very good -
Brett (10/5): - Beautiful building and nice experience
Jesse (9/5): Superb -
Marie (7/5): Good -
Joan (8/5): Very good -
Camilla (9/5): I’m glad we experienced this historic B&B - interesting, centrally located, friendly, helpful caretaker toilet was too low for old people
Linda (9/5): worth the trip - Absolutely beautiful historical house. Well appointed rooms. Delicious breakfast and knowledgeable host. Very hard mattress which was uncomfortable.
Celeste (10/5): enjoyed the meals and we loved the facility and location - charming historic old house
Doug (10/5): Lovely stay in a friendly town with wonderful hosts in a beautiful house. - Our hosts were provided an appreciated and brief history of the house. There are numerous family photos of the Ringling Family around the main floor. The historical qualities pf the house are maintained. However, there was a little AC unit in our room along with a bathroom that still had a period loyal medicine chest on one end and modern day, walk-in, remodeled shower on the other end. Not big enough to clean Jumbo, but plenty big to clean me. The central staircase was beautifully renovated and very spacious with one landing. However, they are stairs. The wife, like me, has legs originally engineered several decades ago and any stairs, no matter how beautiful, are still challenging.
Debbie (7/5): Good -
Sue (9/5): Superb -
Kathleen (10/5): Exceptional -
Linda (9/5): Great host and welcoming environment. -
Patricia (10/5): Exceptional - The house was amazing. It was so interesting. The hosts, Stu and Julie, were wonderful. We learned the history of the building and the food was great. So very pleasant! There was nothing that was disappointing.
robert (10/5): - Great!
Peter (10/5): - superb experience, great food, super clean, super nice people, heritage and history behind the stay. will always choose this place over regular hotel or motel when visiting are. make sure you check this place out
Lawrence (10/5): - This was a great B and B. The room was clear and quiet, close to points of interest. We felt right at home.
