Dawn Bahr will welcome and pamper you from the moment you arrive with her 5 star bed and breakfast hotel hospitality. Country Extra says Cameo Rose "sparkles with hospitality"." Guests rave about Dawn's "best hospitality", attention to detail, emphasis on cleanliness and her fine dining, antiquing, shopping and tourism suggestions to make your travel Wisconsin vacation extra special. It is a full time job for Dawn to take care of the house, 5 guestrooms and suite, breakfasts and the gardens while Gary takes care of 120 acres, 32,000 trees and about 180 breakfast dishes in a morning.

Dawn gave up business administration and wanted a bed and breakfast in Wisconsin between Albany, Belleville, Cambridge, Fitchburg, New Glarus, Oregon, Mount Horeb and Verona. Gary retired from banking and wanted a small cabin in the woods on their farm. Cameo Rose is "their" compromise. Cameo Rose, Madison's Victorian Country Inn opened in 1991. Dawn and Gary try to set the standard for romantic places to stay in the country and have earned their own laurels. Please tell your friends, relatives and co-workers about The Inn.

Dawn & Gary Bahr Welcome You

Note: Dawn dreamed of operating a B and B for many years. Gary use to sit at the bank and real estate office and dream of retiring early to clean house all day. Dawn has made it possible for Gary's dream to come true. In graditude, Gary wrote a song to honor Dawn’s 15th year (2006) as a hard working innkeeper. You may sing it to the tune of Johnny Cash’s ‘I Walk the Line’.
