Dawn's attention to detail and fine dining, antiquing, shopping and tourism suggestions will make your travel Wisconsin vacation extra special. Dawn gave up business administration and wanted a bed and breakfast in Wisconsin between Belleville, Cambridge, Fitchburg, Oregon, New Glarus and Verona. Gary retired from banking and wanted a small cabin in the woods. Cameo Rose is "their" compromise.
