We just got back from a lovely relaxing stay at the muse guesthouse. Myself and wife spent 2 nights here and was so well looked after, we was greeted at arrival with a glass of Sangria and snacks. Tea ,Coffee and beverages available all day, Breakfast very nice and plenty of it, sets you up for most of the day, Being British they even made me a very tasty full English breakfast. We visited the Harley Davidson museum and downtown Milwaukee ,lots of shops ,restaurants and bars, really enjoyed our stay. This is a lovely guesthouse and ran beautifully by husband and wife and corporates a very unique American/British theme. Thank you so much for looking after us and will certainly be seeing you both again ,Keep doing exactly what you are doing, It is perfect. Wishing you both continues success. Robbie & Maw.

Can be resumed by one word: WONDERFUL!!!!

Just wonderful! I wish I could have stay longer. You look for a special experience? in a really cool area (bars, restaurants, and the HD museum within 5 min drive)? Very friendly owners, and an over the top breakbast (Can't remember when I had one that good in the US). Hopefully I'll have teh chance to stop by again.

Mary and her husband are the best host. The house is beautiful and uniquely decorated in a quiet neighborhood. Breakfast is tasty with healthy ingredients. I didn't know french toast could go so well with hazelnut and sausage and fluffy scrambled eggs could be paired with sauté vegetables. My husband and I plan to stay at the Muse Gallery guesthouse when we visit Milwaukee again.
