We had a fantastic stay at this home, it is centrally located in downtown Milwaukee, and we can tell the owners took great care to design and decorate the house. It has great amenities overall and is well suited for large groups. The only thing that could be improved, and it’s not a big deal, is a slightly more well stocked kitchen. We’d definitely book again and recommend to other groups!

The property was perfect for our lakefront centric weeklong family vacation. Our adult kids and their spouses appreciated the house and the room to spread out and choose different activities on different floors. Dog friendly is a major plus. Walked to coffee shops and restaurants each day. Ample supplies and good knives in the kitchen for cooking. Whole Foods, Walgreens, and other stores close by for that stuff that we forgot :-) The host makes parking easy.

Great spot for my sister’s bachelorette weekend!
We had the best stay in this beautiful rental home! First off the owners were amazing at responding back so quickly to any questions I had about the home and our upcoming stay. The places the referred to us to check out were amazing and we loved how easy of a walk it was for us to have our beach day. The home was gorgeous and so unique with the eclectic decor style and all its character. We truly had the best time and felt it was the perfect spot for us to host my sister’s bachelorette party weekend!

We love you, Milwaukee!
I don’t know where to start… the house alone is amazing. The cleanest (and I really look) rental I have ever stayed in. Gorgeous, decorated beautifully, but still feels like a place you can relax and enjoy. We stayed with another family and the neighborhood is THE BEST. You can walk to restaurants, bars, shops, and to get groceries. We did not want to leave and will 100% be back.

My group and I loved this place! Emily went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. We were able to drop bags off early. The cleaners were very nice and informative about the Milwaukee area! We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and Emily left him a treat from a local Milwaukee’s brewery which he appreciated!! Thanks again for a wonderful stay!!
