The Innkeepers

Dawn and Gary Bahr will welcome and pamper you from the moment you arrive. Country Extra says Cameo Rose "sparkles with hospitality." The Bahrs are the winners of the Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast Association’s “Bed, Breakfast & Bliss” award. Dawn's attention to detail and fine dining, antiquing, shopping and tourism suggestions will make your travel Wisconsin vacation extra special. Dawn gave up business administration and wanted a big Victorian bed and breakfast. Gary retired from banking and wanted a small cabin in the woods. Cameo Rose is "their" compromise.
