The Franklin Victorian Bed and Breakfast Inn is a historic and warm, romantic getaway in Sparta Wisconsin, that will welcome you at the door. Built in the early (c.1900s) by a Sparta Banker, Mr. W.G. Williams, this Queen Anne-style Victorian home features leaded stained glass window, fireplaces, open staircase, original woodwork & unique architectural features. The inn is located in the heart of Wisconsin's Hidden Valleys of Southwest Wisconsin. It is a romantic getaway so quiet and beautiful, it's no wonder we call it God's Country. Our celebrated rivers, drift less rugged hills, scenic farms, tranquil back roads, bike trails, crystal air and friendly people combine to make Sparta, Wisconsin the ideal place to be warm...be welcome...be at home.

There is no shortage of Biking, Canoeing, Kayaking, Horseback Riding, Hiking, Amish Settlements, Golfing, Nature & Heritage, Festivals, Snowmobiling, Skiing, Fall Foliage and more to keep anyone occupied!

My husband and I visit the Franklin Victorian B & B whenever we are in Sparta. It is a lovely town with bike trails, Amish culture, wonderful dining, and much more...all near the Beautiful Inn. The Dunn family are very welcoming and the Inn is a historical masterpiece. Yet you feel very comfortable visiting, with many amenities and a delicious breakfast. We have stayed at many B & B's over the years, but this is our favorite.

We had a wonderful stay at the Franklin Victorian. The house is absolutely beautiful and Jennifer's breakfast was delicious. We loved all the extra little things from the cookies and beverages in the hall to the candies and board games in our room. We can't wait to visit again next year! (and hopefully stay longer)
