Lovely and comfortable Brewers Hill house
This is a beautiful older home that has been updated for a very comfortable stay, especially for a group or a family. The kitchen is fairly well set-up and there is plenty of comfortable and inviting space for all, including recreation (pinball, game table, TV) in the basement. Very thoughtful touches such as bedwarmers on the bed and power strips on the nightstands. We did fine bringing our own toiletries and really enjoyed the nice hot tub on the private deck. The location is perfect for seeing all the best of Milwaukee, and the hosts were lovely and accommodating of our family, including a request for a booking date change. Would highly recommend!

Great for us
Great unique house, loved the character of house. Close to everything we did and easy access to everywhere we went. Pool in picture is NOT on property ground but across the street, Cover was on each time we checked to see if it was open, and was a bit uncomfortable to walk into someone's back yard. Hot tub was great.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
We were impressed with the property. There were extra toiletries, cooking supplies, lots of towels, kitchen utensils, if you needed it you could find it. All rooms were clean. Basically we found everything we needed and more. Great location, a tv in every bedroom, we walked to lots of restaurants and bars. Retired teachers and a nurse give the place an A+. We had an in house beer tasting contest!
This house was perfect for our girls weekend! There were several great places to congregate and hang out, comfortable couches and beds, and a stocked kitchen. The outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee, and the pool was so much fun! The hosts were so accommodating and communicative. We hope to come back!

Excellent location near downtown Milwaukee
This was a very clean house in a quiet part of town that had all the amenities we needed. We did have an ant issue which was quickly resolved by the owner. Owner was great with communication. The location was perfect to get to all your activities near downtown. We did not have a dog, but this house would be perfect for that because of the fenced in yard. My only caution is that if you have young children or elderly people that the stairs could be a challenge/fear as they are rather steep. If this is not a concern then don't hesitate to stay here! We did feel the beds were on the stiff side, but I guess this is a personal preference thing.
