A visit to Inn Serendipity is more than a typical night's stay at a Bed & Breakfast. At Inn Serendipity, we're creating a magical, creative environment where you can play, explore, create, relax, learn . . . and return home with a refreshed perspective on life. Sketch under the willow tree, philosophize around the campfire, enjoy a hearty vegetarian breakfast with organic fruits and vegetables from the Inn's gardens, or lose yourself in a book from the eclectic library. Open your soul to serendipity and relish the abundance and spirit of all life.

Featured in ABC News, MSNBC, Conde Nast Traveler, USA Today, Associated Press, Vegetarian Times, Modern Farmer, Living the Country Life, and in numerous other media, Inn Serendipity is located on a five-acre organic farm in the rolling green hills of southwestern Wisconsin, a short drive from Chicago, Milwaukee, Dubuque and Madison.

Guests can now plug in their electric or hybrid plug-in electric vehicle and recharge it with 100-percent renewable energy! As of December 2016, Inn Serendipity is a participant in the Tesla Destination Charging program, offering free electricity for guests who arrive in a Tesla electric car as well as any guests with either all-electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Both a Tesla Wall Connector and Universal ClipperCreek Connector is available for guests to use to recharge their vehicles with 100-percent renewable energy.

We've launched Inn Serendipity Fresh Baked Homemade Bakery. Orders can also be placed from our Inn Serendipity Fresh baked Homemade Bakery Castiron online store.

In 2002, Phase 1 was completed of an active solar heated straw bale greenhouse, added to provide year-round cultivation of papayas and other tropical plants. Our 10 kW Bergey wind turbine was replaced in 2018 by a 10.8 kW photovoltaic system, enough to completely power the farm, with a little left over. A 680-Watt photovoltaic (PV) system replaced a 480-Watt PV system, also used to generate electricity from sunlight for use on the farm.

The farm and B&B is powered by 100 percent renewable energy and serves as an educational site for a "carbon negative business" -- addressing affordable climate change/global warming solutions today, not someday in the future.

A new addition in 2020 for guests who might enjoy a little exercise, a SportsArt Eco-Powr Recumbent Stationary Cycle that allows guests to generate electricity while biking and therefore, helps offset some carbon emissions.

Inn Serendipity Bed & Breakfast was recognized by Natural Home magazine as one of the "Top 10 Eco-destinations in North America," selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as one of 13 national ENERGY STAR Small Business Network Award recipients for 2004, designated a "5 Green Stars" eco-hotel by Eco Hotels of the World, and certified by Travel Green Wisconsin. The Inn has been featured as a "Platinum" Green Leader for Trip Advisor, "demonstration home" for Real Goods, "Gold" level Green America Business, and a "best practice" (download as a 5MB PDF file) with the Renewable Energy in Tourism Initiative.

The farm is a part of LocalHarvest.org. If you're looking for fresh, local, seasonal, organic produce, consider purchasing direct from our farm. The farmstead has also been the base for new upstart sustainable agricultural businesses though the Cooperative Enterprise Program launched in 2000 by Inn Serendipity and the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute.

Wander through the grounds of our turn-of-the-century farmhouse, mortaise tenon (wood peg construction) dairy barn, and extensive perennial flower gardens. Step into a by-gone era . . . but with a few modern-day twists. The Inn serves as a showplace for energy conservation and more sustainable living and business practices. An overview of the many renewable energy systems, "green design" approaches, natural building projects, and conservation measures employed at the Inn are summarized in a fact sheet and detailed in the innkeepers' books: Soil Sisters, Homemade for Sale, Farmstead Chef, Rural Renaissance, ECOpreneuring and Edible Earth.
