Need help Planning Your Trip to Brown County?

get expert recommendations from a local

Brown County has a way of looking straightforward until you actually start planning. One search leads to ten tabs, conflicting reviews, and a whole lot of “it depends.” You’re trying to figure out where to eat, what’s actually worth doing, what to skip, and how to make it all fit together for yourself or for a group counting on you to get it right.

I answer these questions constantly. As a Brown County local, Airbnb host, and the writer behind Tanglewood Hideaway, I’m answering questions about Brown County all day long. The hidden gems, the overhyped spots, and everything in between. My job is to hand you the shortcut.

A Few things worth knowing

I don’t book accommodations or activities. What I do is make sure you’re walking into those bookings with confidence, a clear plan, and recommendations you can actually trust.

And if Brown County ends up being a great fit for your group, I’d love to point you toward the Brown County Barn Burner, a large-scale group lodging property my husband and I built and run here.
