Take a trip to Chippewa and learn a little about Missy!
About Me:
I have spent my entire life in the Chippewa Valley and I love it here! I moved to Chippewa Falls in May 2009 to become the new innkeeper at Pleasant View Bed and Breakfast with my husband, Adam and our children, Zach and Megan. Since our move here, we have discovered what a little diamond Chippewa Falls is! There are so many things to see and do, we have become tourists in our own town. It’s been wonderful to have the opportunity to meet all of the fine people in the area and experience all of the places we have never been!
My background is in restaurant and the hospitality industry. After many years working as a chef and a manager, burn out started setting in and I decided it was time for a career change. A few resumes later, I was working at my first B&B. Within that year I met a wonderful lady named Jeanine Adams, who owns Pleasant View. A few months later, Jeanine and her husband Mike asked us to be the innkeepers at their B&B. The answer was a resounding “Yes!”
I could not imagine loving a job more than the one I have now. I feel very fortunate to work with a great couple, and to have a career that encompasses all of the things that I love most…people, cooking, baking and talking!
I also contribute articles to Queen of the Castle Magazine, a passion of mine for over two years now!
What service do I offer:
At Pleasant View Bed and Breakfast, we offer a contemporary B&B experience. Our five guest rooms have a unique themes, private bathrooms, all include a hot tub or fireplace (both in some rooms), four of the rooms offer views of the Lake Wissota and private access to the deck. The evenings include a tour of the house, and refreshments and fresh baked cookies. The mornings consist of a wake up tray with fresh baked treats brought directly to your room so that you can enjoy them in the privacy of your room, outside on the deck or in our lovely atrium. Then breakfast arrives, either brought to your room or served in the dining room based on your preference. I serve a full gourmet breakfast, so you had better be hungry! My waffles and breakfast quiches have become commonly requested guest favorites. I cook with local ingredients whenever possible!
If you are unfamiliar with the Chippewa Falls area, Pleasant Views atrium is a great place to relax and learn more. The atrium is stocked with local restaurant menus, and brochures detailing all attractions around the B&B. There is everything from performing arts, shopping in downtown, cheese factories, Olsens Ice Cream Shop, Leinenkugel’s Brewery tours, wineries, bike/snowmobile/ski/snowshoe trails within minutes of Pleasant View.
My Favorite Part:
Without a doubt, my favorite part of my job is all of the people that I get to meet! We are lucky to have a variety of guest from all over the country and the world who choose to stay at Pleasant View. Everyone from couples looking from a night alone together, people celebrating weddings/anniversaries, folks who are in town just touring the area, business travelers and everyone in between. They share with us stories of their lives, fun things about them, interesting places they have been. I truly could not ever dream of meeting better people at work!

Most important things for women to know:
Be knowledgeable in your field and surround yourself with supportive, positive people.
Balancing Life and Work:
At one point in my life I was working so much that my children starting calling me “The Lady Who Sleeps Here”. That was an eye-opener! I realized then, it was time for me to work smarter and not harder. My ever present lists of things to do has been the biggest change I have made professionally. It sounds simple, but that list is something I adhere to. Checking things off and staying on task has been a huge help in balancing what needs to be done at work and being able to focus on my family when we are all together.
