If you want your next getaway to be full of class, you’ve got to stay at Wilson Schoolhouse Inn! True to its name, the building that houses the inn was originally a one-room schoolhouse. And though it hasn’t been a school for decades, it still maintains much of its original character, including a slate blackboard and antique school desks.

The perfect escape, the inn is nestled on 12 acres of woods, fields, and gardens, yet is only minutes from downtown La Crosse.

But its real allure is that it’s an actual schoolhouse. That’s right; where students once studied, you can now relax in comfort.
