The neighborhood is a delight. House just right!

We loved the house and slept well in a quiet neighborhood. The house had everything you need including some welcome goodies that made the stay even better! Quiet neighborhood but so accessible to so much nearby retail. Sendik's was our daily stop for groceries. We picked up Limes one day and rode everywhere.

Convenient, Homey, Clean!

We came to town for a wedding during and very busy time of Milwaukee festivals. The house is on a quiet neighborhood street walking distance to coffe and shops. Driving to downtown is easy and you feel like you are in your home. So many touches to make you feel comfortable. We loved it!

Family visit

House is in active walkable Milwaukee neighborhood. Lots of shops, restaurants, park, and beach. We did not get in our vehicle the four days we were there. Very roomy home. Bed was as comfortable as they come. Diane is the best as far as making sure all is okay with your stay. Kitchen was very workable. Could not have asked for more and we have stayed at many rentals.

Charming home in Milwaukee

We were here for a work conference and stayed in this home with 4 other adults and an infant. Diane had everything we needed— extra towels, soaps, coffee, etc. She would respond quickly if we had questions and the check-in/out process was a breeze. We loved the location— near the beach and great restaurants. Not too far of a drive down into the city either. The one shower was a little tough with 6 adults, but what can you expect from a 100+ year old home? It was charming and spacious otherwise. Milwaukee is a great place to visit!

Gorgeous older home in excellent location!

My family and I stayed for a little over 2 months at this beautiful residence in a very vibrant neighborhood. Walking distance to many restaurants and to the lake, it was the ideal spot for a summer stay. Diane was helpful, responsive, and flexible with the many different layers of our stay, and did her best to make sure we were settled in and comfortable. The home is older, and as a native of the area I know what that can entail in terms of ongoing maintenance, and Diane explained everything clearly which greatly facilitated our stay. There were a couple of plumbing issues but as soon as we communicated them to her she took action, and went above and beyond with smaller things too. Highly recommend this space for families with children of any age!
