Oscar H Hanson House

Gorgeous B&B in Cambridge! We’ve stayed here twice, once in the fall and once in winter. Both times were absolutely excellent! Duke and Mary Jane are wonderful hosts, and make the best breakfast I’ve ever had (Quiche, Heirloom Tomatoes, Sausage and Chocolate Cinnamon Coffee Cake and the second time Belgian Waffles with Strawberries, Sausage, Orange Medley and Chocolate Chip Scones)!
We stayed in the Cambridge room which has a whirlpool tub among other amenities. The stay is always relaxing, they have a heated king bed which was nice and toasty in the winter. They have a great selection of DVD’s or cable for you to relax and watch.
The Inn is close to downtown Cambridge and within walking distance of some great bars and restaurants. We always go to dinner at The Keystone Grill, which I highly recommend as well.
This place is wonderful, you should check it out!

More wonderful with each stay. My husband and I have stayed at the Oscar H. Hanson House for our anniversary the last two years and plan to return each year. After our last stay, a celebration of 20 married years, I commented to my husband how great it would be for myself and our 16 year old daughter to come for a girls night. He agreed. We had the most amazing, relaxing time in Anna’s room where we were able to unwind from a long day of Christmas shopping in Johnson Creek. The food was superb as it always is and there is not one thing we wanted that wasn’t available during our stay. My daughter has a tricky food intolerance and both Mary Jane and Duke were able to oblige. They prepared a fantastic breakfast and worked marvelously around her intolerance. Not only will we be back but we encourage those that are looking for a quick getaway to check out this B&B. I can

A lovely getaway half an hour from Madison! Located within walking distance of downtown Cambridge, in a residential neighborhood, the Oscar H Hanson House is well-​kept and charming. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted by the owners, both of whom were incredibly gracious and welcoming. We were given a tour of the common areas which offered a coffee machine, comfy seating areas and a mini-​fridge stocked with ice cream bars (ice cream bars?! The Mister decided he was moving in at this point).
We stayed in Ana’s room which is located on the first floor, overlooking the back garden. It was lovely to be able to pop out back from the sliding door and enjoy a drink on the front porch. It’s a quiet room, off the kitchen, so it’s private. A full Jacuzzi was big enough for two and the king size bed was definitely comfy. No need to get dressed, breakfast is served in your room, left outside your room on a covered tray, ready when you are.
On a Sunday night most of the fine dining options in the area were closed so be aware you may be driving into Madison if that’s your thing (that’s not to say there weren’t food options, just not fancy/​romantic open on that day). We decided to pack a romantic picnic and bottle of wine to sit on the porch instead, which worked out perfectly on a summer evening! We were thrilled to be there and would not hesitate to return.

I just finished my second stay at the Oscar H Hanson house. This visit had me in the Townsend Room, also known as the bridal suite. I had this glorious room to myself and temporarily dubbed it «The Princess Room». Again, the food was delicious, the room was restful and cozy during the rainy night, and the innkeepers were warm and welcoming. It was nice to return from a work setting to a home setting… even though I was hundreds of miles away from my own home. Thank you, Duke & MJ!

We had the opportunity to visit the Madison area recently, but wanted to avoid the normal business/​chain hotels, so glad we did. This property was wonderful and the innkeepers were extremely friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious! We are just looking for an excuse to return!
