About Us
Modern conveniences
Staying at the Burlington
is like going back in history
but with modern conveniences!
The sleeping rooms are bright and
accommodating.
Guests love having access to
a common-area kitchenette
which offers late-night snacks,
coffee, hot chocolate and tea.
The balcony overlooking the Mississippi is a guest favorite for sunsets and morning coffee.
There's also a shared TV room
to watch a movie or your favorite shows.
Just added in 2024: a large private patio in the back yard!!
River & railroad - best of both!
Coffee (or wine) on the front balcony
overlooking the mighty Mississippi
is definitely worth the trip!
If you're a railroad/train buff,
or you'd like sitting back and
watching the barges pass by
on the river, you'll appreciate
the sights and sounds of Alma
(ear plugs are provided for light sleepers)!

The Burlington Hotel was built in 1891 with 12 rooms for workers and passengers of the Burlington Northern Railroad. The building is listed on the Wisconsin Register of Historical Sites, and was added to
