Awesome space in a perfect location! The apartment was spacious, clean, artfully decorated, and super comfortable. From the host’s communication to his provided amenities, you can tell how much he cares about guests having a good stay. We loved being a walkable distance from the lake, multiple bars and food options right next to the building, and in such a quiet and quaint little downtown. We were in town for a baseball tournament and it was a convenient 18 minute drive to the Rock Sports Complex, and only 20 minutes to downtown Milwaukee. We happened to catch a block party that one of the bars was throwing with live music and food trucks a few doors down, and that was the highlight of our weekend. Friendly people and a great time. So glad we forgot to book a hotel room before they sold out, and we happened upon this listing. If we are back in town- we will definitely be booking this place again! Thank you!
We had a wonderful stay here for two nights! The owners have been very thoughtful in all of the little touches! The decor and artwork throughout is lovely. The cozy throws for chilly nights, water purifying pitcher and snacks and drinks (some provided and some for purchase) are extra little touches to make your stay more like home. We enjoyed walking to a restaurants for dinner and being close to the lake trail and parks. Location was also good for the Brewer’s game. Host was super informative and communicative throughout. I HIGHLY recommend!!
