Doc Bilstad came to Cambridge in the years after World War One, buying this corner home close to the school he so could watch from his back door as his three girls walked into schoolhouse each day. Then he would stride back through the house, unlock the front door that now welcomes Cambridge House guests, and declare his doctoring practice as open for the day. Doc lived upstairs, in the part of the home that now is where folks relax in the North, South and East rooms. Downstairs people waited in the front room for their turn to see the kindly and wise doctor in his adjoining large office. The wisdom he shared has become part of Cambridge's tradition, where people continue to live in the comfort only possible in a small home town. Guests of Cambridge House now come to 123 East Main Street for the relaxation that is so important to a healthy lifestyle and sit in what was Doc's office to discuss wonderful ideas while enjoying gourmet breakfasts prepared by Jeff.

Locals have to have been born in the early 1940's or before to remember coming with their parents to see Doc Bilstad. In addition to serving the people of Cambridge and area, Doc researched and wrote papers for the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine. When invited to the campus, he explained he preferred to be the local doctor in the village of Cambridge. Doctor Bilstad's three daughters all went on to singular professional careers, but none took up the mantle of Doc's MD. Esther went on to be a distinguished pilot, Gwendolyn earned a Masters in Social Work (MSW) and worked in Chicago, and Nellie became the family's Professor.

Cambridge is a place where we watch little league, picnic in the park and wave to neighbors passing by. It's a place where visitors are warmly welcomed with great restaurants, galleries and charming little shops. It's a place where we know you would feel right at home. Come visit...we'll even save you a bench in the shade.

Cambridge House was once the name of a local hotel on the square, but now belongs to a relaxing and romantic Inn. You are invited to relax in our 100 year old home with yesterday's grace, charm, and elegance, completely renovated in 1996 for your comfort.
