Thank you for stopping by and we hope you enjoy your time here with us.
Basswood Chalet & Guesthouse is located in the heart of the Blue Diamond vacation area east of New Auburn, Wisconsin. The area is teeming with wildlife, glacial lakes, wetlands and outdoor adventures year-round. Inside the guesthouse you'll find brochures, pamphlets and maps listing many of the trails, lakes and seasonal occurrences in the area. The chalet and guesthouse are nestled on almost 10 acres of woodlands and marsh. While here enjoy the quiet solitude, watch the hummingbirds feed, catch the deer or wild turkeys meandering through the courtyard, call out to the barred owls, loons, geese, or head across the street to Lower Long Lake for a leisurely boat ride, a dip in the crystal-clear lake or do some fishing. Hike the many miles of scenic/historic trails, or bicycle/motor bike along country roads and catch a sip of something at any of the local establishments along the way.

STAY IN
Looking to just get away to somewhere quiet and relax? No problem! You have all the privacy you want at the guesthouse with no other guests on the other side of a wall and no freeway noise or street lights for miles. Just the birds, deer and other wildlife talking outside your door. Read a good book. Bring your passwords along and watch your favorite streaming shows or movies on the Roku television provided. Snuggle up on the couch with the glow of the fireplace and candles, or pen that book you've been meaning to write (high speed internet included). Looking to really pamper yourself?
