Great Place
Loved the retro vibe of this place. It was so clean and the owner thought of everything. The kitchen had everything you would need and also a little extras in the bathroom that you might have forgotten to pack. The owner was very responsive to messages. This is located close to downtown and a beautiful city park. Would definitely stay again.

A Perfect Outpost
This property was a perfect oasis during our weeklong EAA adventure! The house has been renovated and the owners are continuing to improve on the house, as evidenced by the brand-new patio in the backyard! The house has been furnished with an eclectic variety of mid-century modern furniture and details, with a focus on the best live music of the 60s and 70s. The prime feature was a console record player and a hearty selection of records for our listening pleasure!
The house was more than spacious for four guests, and although the driveway only has room for a single vehicle, it was a non-issue due to street parking. Our trip even involved us leaving an item there, and our hosts worked with us to ensure it got back in our hands.
If we ever need a place to stay in the Fox Cities again, this home will be at the top of our list!

Character, Location, Awesomeness
Location was perfect...walk to beautiful park maybe a block away. All kinds of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, museums, etc.... all within a reasonably easy walk. Lawrence campus and river just a couple of blocks away.
Really like the personality of the place...lots of retro and cool vibes. Albums, games, macrame (google it if you don't know).
Would give a heads up that if you have a challenge with stairs...all bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs
Awesome property and definitely recommend!

A quick trip back to the past
Had a fun, comfortable stay here. Charming older home. A blast from the past as we listened to old rock and roll records and played Yahtzee at the kitchen table!
Easy access to LU, and lots of great restaurants. Stay here!!

Nice place, great location
Very nice old vintage house with a unique 70s retro vibe. The property is clean, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The house is 100+ years old which adds to the charm. There is parking for one car on the property, and additional street parking is also available with an easy to get permit. We had a party of 4, and were very comfortable here. The neighborhood is active, and there is a great park a block away. Thanks to the hosts for being so accomodating and easy to communicate with!
