About Amery

The Alcove in Amery

Small-town charm

Amery is located in western Wisconsin, just over one hour from the Twin Cities. Downtown Amery is a five-minute walk from the Alcove. There you will find a local ice cream and coffee shop, a drugstore, gift and antique stores, and numerous cafes and restaurants. In warmer months, there is a local farmers market on Saturdays from 9am-noon and Mondays from 3-6pm and free concerts in the park. 

The Alcove retreat is only two houses away from the Stower Seven Lakes recreational trail (motorized vehicles are not allowed), which also connects to the Cattail State Trail (motorized vehicles are allowed). There is a public beach only a ten-minute walk away on South Twin Lake. North Twin Lake connects to Pike Lake via a nearby channel. Feel free to use our paddleboat, canoe, or kayak to explore both lakes.
