About Us

Our goal is to provide first-class bed and breakfast hospitality within a luxury downtown boutique hotel and wedding venue

Sara is a native of South Central Wisconsin and a Badger fan through and through. Sara has a bachelors in English Literature with a minor in Philosophy from UW La Crosse and when not assisting with the Inn works in healthcare. Sara enjoys cooking, fine wine, nature activities, yoga, meeting interesting people and listening to public radio.

Randy is a native New Englander who has lived in Wisconsin since 1991 but still holds a passion for New England sports teams. He has a bachelors from Connecticut College and an MBA from the University of Rochester. He loves business, marketing and entrepreneurship and discovered at the age of 50 what he should have done when he was 22, innkeeping. Randy enjoys cooking, travel, art, sports and spending time with interesting people.

Together, Randy and Sara have run four bed and breakfasts in four different midwestern markets. They ran Pleasant Street Bed and Breakfast in Oconomowoc, WI, the Allyn Mansion in Delavan, WI, The Kalamazoo House in Kalamazoo, MI and now the Stewart Inn in Wausau, WI. They have had an oustanding record of success including recognition as the top rated bed and breakfast in Wisconsin, the first two suite “diamond collection” property in the world, the #1 rated hotel in Wisconsin and most recently, the #7 rated Small Stay property in the US. They are consistently recognized for their warm hospitality, great food, clean rooms and outstanding concierge services.

In addition to innkeeping, Randy and Sara have recently ventured out into the luxury vacation rental/cabin market. Their first cabin, Owl Ridge Cabin, is scheduled to open in December, 2022. Beyond that, Randy has been a successful B&B marketing consultant for the past five years having worked with more than 30 clients across the US.

Filling out the family, Randy and Sara have four young adult children, one in Minneapolis, one in Madison, one in Hualian, Taiwan and a fourth in Oshkosh. All four are neat individuals with eclectic interests ranging from international travel, to jazz music to golf, to all things automotive. They get along amazing well and offer tremendous support of their parents’ entrepreneurial endeavors.

Not to be forgotten is Randy and Sara’s loving dog, Buster Brown. Buster is a beautiful German Longhaired Pointer with a welcoming heart for all. He loves dog-keeping, an occasional leftover sausage and trips to the DP (dog park).
