Justin Trails

In the midst of a splendid countryside outside Sparta Wisconsin, at 7452 Kathryn Avenue, you’ll find Justin Trails Resort…a nature photographer’s dream. Innkeepers, Don and Donna Justin welcome guests with a passion for the outdoors year round.

There is plenty of room for privacy in 2 separate Scandinavian Full-Scribe log cabins and a cottage.  Three suites in the 1920 foursquare farmhouse feature whirlpools and fireplaces.

Feed llamas Dusty & Rusty treats by hand.  Learn More About Spring Ephemerals. It may seem an oxymoron that romantic couples and families have fun at the same resort.  There is plenty of room for young and young at heart.  The resort is home to beautiful log cabins and suites that cater to your bed & breakfast experience with large two person whirlpool bathtubs, gas fireplaces, queen or king beds, DIRECTV, DVD players and comfy robes. Our pet-friendly resort welcomes dogs of all breeds and sizes  leashed around the compound and free to run in open valleys for exercise. No weight limit or deposit are required and dogs may stay in any accommodation. View or print our Lodging Rates

Pat Dillon & Lynne Diebel honored Justin Trails Resort owners, Don and Donna Justin with inclusion in their book, Green Travel Guide to Southern Wisconsin for the environmentally friendly innkeeping, land care and social responsibility.  Member of Travel Green Wisconsin, a certifying organization ranking sustainability, marketing green properties and educating members with new ideas to continue to green the planet.

Placing special emphasis on the environment we create an organic “green” eco-friendly resort by upcycling buildings, reducing waste, growing and buying local produce for your breakfast.  Farm land is leased to an organic farmer growing alfalfa, corn, and winter rye.  1.5 acres are rented to The Gardeners, a Hmong couple who grow veggies for a farmers market.   One hundred thirty-five acres of woodland is being carefully tended to remove exotic species to enhance the oak savanna, oak forest,  prairie and goat prairie remnant.  The Justins are members of The Prairie Enthusiasts and love talking prairie with guests, working prescribed burns and hosting their own burns.

Join us for “Redneck TV” (watching the fire)…we’ll provide the wood.

In the Room Journal:
