Restored Historic Stone House in the Country

Built in 1868, the Brisbane House won the Wisconsin State Historical Society's 2023 Board of Curators Restoration Award. This is such a special place and we wish to share it with you! It's listed on the State and National Registers of Historic Places. You will stay in comfort and extraordinary style surrounded by historic appointments.

The main house (this listing) sleeps up to six. There is a queen bedroom on the second floor and a queen bedroom and two XL twins on the third floor. A new full bathroom and den with guest closet are also on the second floor. A new full bathroom is also on the first floor.

The galley kitchen has beautiful cabinetry and is well-equipped (vacation bakers will enjoy the rolling pin, pie plate, jelly roll pans, and more). The locally harvested cherry table with benches seats six to eight.

The living room has seating for six+ and you can put your feet up in front of the fire, play a game, or watch a movie. It’s fun to hang out with the glittery portrait of Abraham Lincoln. If you must, we’ve got work-worthy wifi, a place to sit at a desk, and a small library in the upstairs den.

The Brisbane House is a place of inclusivity. It was built in 1868 by an abolitionist from South Carolina. We are honoring his legacy by showcasing museum-quality art by nationally-known Black artists. Yes, you can sleep in the same room as a Michalene Thomas or Sam Gilliam, or hang out with a Kara Walker!

In the warmer months, hang out on the screen porch with a cup of coffee or glass of wine, or kick around in the yard, play croquet, build an outdoor fire in the fire pit. Since we’re on 18 wooded acres, you can also hike the surrounding area on trails, managed by the Prairie Enthusiasts, up to Rattlesnake Ridge to the river valley overlook. In the winter, use the snowshoes to tromp around or drag the saucer sleds to our neighbors’ for an exhilarating run!

We’re right off of the Frank Lloyd Wright Trail, so hop on and take the short drive into the neighboring town of Spring Green (10 miles) to check out their charming downtown with a bookstore, shops, and restaurants. Of course, you’ll want to take a tour of Taliesin and go to see a world-class play at American Players Theater.

So come to absorb the peace in the woods, to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, hold a family reunion, gab with your book club, or celebrate a holiday!
A note on our eco-friendly practices: Soaps and cleaning products are either unscented or contain organic essential oils. No synthetic fragrances or fabric softeners here. Environmentally friendlier bath towels are "quick dry." Most of the sheets are organic cotton.

Some fine print: Most stays in high season have a three-night minimum. Please inquire if this really will not work for you. Also, if you are interested in a ground floor level rental for two only, let's discuss. The summer kitchen bedroom (which sleeps an additional four can be found on our listing #2620893). We're members of the Midwest Inns Association and we invite you to follow us on IG: Restore.Brisbane.House.

Here's what our guests say:

The Brisbane House was the perfect spot for our family gathering. Samantha and Bruce thought of every detail in renovating this unique historic house—the architecture, furnishings, light, and color create a wonderful environment for connecting with loved ones. There is a lot to enjoy in the area from charming books stores, delicious restaurants, and beautiful rolling hills. Communication with our hosts was flawless from pointing us to nearby trails to sharing the history and information on the art on the walls. We will be back soon!

Thanks again for a fantastic experience in Arena. Staying at the Brisbane made it truly special and the house is just gorgeous. We will be back!

I don’t even know where to start. We stayed at Brisbane house over our wedding weekend and it just perfect.

This place is incredible, as are Sam and Bruce. This is our third stay with them and every time has been magical. Could not ask for better.

Such a beautiful stay! The wow factor when you pull up is just the start!

From seeing fireflies in the evening to morning coffee on the beautiful screen porch, we had the most wonderful family adventure.

So glad this was part of our Wisconsin summer adventure.

We loved our stay. We did not want to leave.

This house was a treat. From the unique decorative touches and art in every room to the cozy handmade quilts on the beds, this property was a lovely place to get away for the weekend. We especially enjoyed the interesting history of the Brisbanes in the living room! Thank you for sharing this marvel with us.

Brisbane House is a gem! Sam and Bruce did an amazing job restoring this beautiful home. Plus communication with Sam is top notch, always working to improve the vacation.

Our family of 5 adults had a great Christmas at Brisbane House. The owners have done an amazing job thoughtfully restoring this historic home. Despite a cold snap, we were cozy and comfortable with all the modern conveniences you would need. The owners surprised us by providing a live Christmas tree and pine trimmings sourced on the property. The property itself is lovely and isolated with snowshoe trails extending back into the woods. We regretted that it was too cold to do more exploring on the trails. Also, the artwork throughout the home was beautiful. We look forward to trying Brisbane House in other seasons.

Our family of four (parents and 2 grown kids), along with our two dogs spent the Long Thanksgiving weekend at The Brisbane House. Communication with the owners was great - they answered all of our questions and the photos on the website are 100% correct and helped us greatly in planning. The charm of this home is only outdone by the functionality of its cozy rooms. We easily made our Thanksgiving meal and had plenty of room to eat. The summer kitchen addition (which is a large windowed bedroom w a loft) is stunning. If you have elderly guests, I’d for sure rent this additional room, as the steps are quite steep to the main house bedrooms. It is also functions as a good escape if you need to take a nap from too much Turkey !! Some of our favorite features: fan on timer in bathrooms, very private lot, pet friendly yard, fun beautiful rooms with unique wallpaper and paint colors, very clean, great window covers, books and articles about the house’s history, easy to use TV, and of course the little touches - slippers provided, quality bedding and towels, captivating artwork, glass doorknobs. Honestly, just a one-of-a-kind home that would charm anyone. Highly recommend 10/10.

I rented this property for an annual couples weekend that includes a couple of performances at nearby American Players Theatre. We have stayed in many properties over the years and absolutely loved this one. We enjoyed the beautiful renovation and stylish decor, and we appreciated that the home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We love to cook and have fancy meals, and the kitchen was well equipped for our culinary adventures. We also appreciated that dogs could join us. The beds were also very comfortable. Overall a delightful stay, and we plan to return.

This trip was originally planned for 2020, but due to Covid had to be postponed. I'm glad it was or we would not have been able to stay at this amazing place. It was the ulitmate home away from home, and the added history and all we learned was a bonus. Hope to return soon. Thanks to the talented hosts for sharing this treasure.

It is a privilege to stay in this impeccable home with such a storied history and excellent preservation. We were 6 friends who had come to American Players Theater. Even though we got rained out of 2 of the 6 plays, we will exchange the tickets for next year and hope to stay again at Brisbane House. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and gracious. Thank you for a great time.

Where to begin? Pictures do not completely capture the Brisbane house and it's surrounding property's beauty. A member of our travel party could not help but mention every time we pulled up to the home, that it looked straight out of a fairy tale. The home is amazingly renovated and appointed, the job Sam and Bruce have done is simply remarkable. The home retains it's historic charm while offering all the modern amenities to make things comfortable and inviting. The five of us really enjoyed our stay and never felt uncomfortable or cramped. The property's natural beauty is top notch. Our hope for a private, peaceful, tranquil, and serene stay had all the boxes checked. We enjoyed going out and exploring all the little towns and parks in the surrounding area, and finishing our day at the fairy tale like house. Sam and Bruce were an absolute pleasure to work with and were very helpful with all our inquiries and questions that we had. The love that they have put into this home is second to none. We all hope to visit again.

From the moment we drove down the country road and spotted the stone house, seeing the beautiful perennial gardens in bloom, we knew the Brisbane house was going to be a special place to stay. It was! This is where we recharged during our 10 day visit with family. Samantha has an eye for detail. The renovation kept the charm of this 1868 home but the modern updates made it comfortable and liveable. We enjoyed the collection of reading materials about Wm. Brisbane and the coffee table book on the renovation which helped us appreciate this unique property. Oh, the beautiful bouquet of wild flowers on the kitchen table was a welcoming touch when we arrived. Seems like our hostess thought of everything. We enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to another visit. Thanks for you gracious hospitality. Rose and John

What a delightful home! A perfect mix of hospitality, history, relaxation, and restoration. The house was very clean and comfy, and surprisingly roomy for such an old house. Beautifully renovated property and the hosts were a delight to work with. Close proximity to so many fun attractions, and yet also very quiet and private. We hope to be back soon!

Our recent stay at the Brisbane House was OUTSTANDING in every way! The description was accurate (if anything, it was understated) and the house/property EXCEEDED our expectations! Communication with Sam leading up to our arrival and during our stay was easy and reassuring in every way. The weather was unseasonably warm but the modern HVAC units kept us comfortable and cool, and the bedroom, bathing situation was fantastic! Meal preparation in the historic kitchen was simple and as modern as can be, and clean up was responsible and earth-friendly (as it should be). We also had our dogs along for the trip, and they were happy and constantly entertained by the bunnies, deer and horses in the area (they got to see Taliesin, too). We look forward to another stay @Brisbane House again next summer! Thanks again to our peerless host Samantha!

We loved this historic property right outside of Madison in Arena, a charming area of the Wisconsin countryside. The house has been lovingly restored and our hosts were so thoughtful with beautiful touches throughout the home like fresh flowers in the rooms and lavender soaps in the bathroom. The kids absolutely loved the Kringle in the freezer and got to pick wild asparagus from yard. The house sits on an enchanting piece of property with beautiful trees and lots yard to enjoy. The next time we are on the area, we will be back again at the Brisbane House.

This wasn't just a "house", it felt like home! There's a very interesting picture book documenting the restoration, be sure to flip through it. Modern conveniences were added, while respecting the historic charm of the house. The home is spacious and well-decorated. We still after Thanksgiving, so it was chilly and we didn't do much outdoors at the house. I would love to return in the summer months and explore the property and the area more. Close to Mt. Horeb and Spring Green, we found plenty to do with our 7- and 9-year old kids.

What a treat to stay an old stone house that has been so lovingly restored. From the modern art to the fluffy towels to the marble kitchen countertop - the property was filled with surprises and delights. The location is super convenient to Madison, Taliesin and Devil's Lake. The property owners couldn't have more accommodating or welcoming. So grateful for the getaway.

Upon our initial glance, the home is unique, lovely, and great for a weekend getaway. Once we arrived and took in all that is offered, we were happily surprised about the history of the house and the original owner, the original artwork decorating the walls, and stillness of the surrounding property. Brisbane house is a wonderful home and property for weekend getaway or extended stay. The wonderfully updated interior and amenities are great. Additionally, the proximity to the eastern driftless area of Wisconsin, the Spring Green/Arena/Mazomanie areas, and a nearby prairie remnant are well worth the stay. We hope to stay again soon.
