I truly cannot say enough good about Laurie as a host and human. The location is everything I dreamed of on tree lined streets and near the Jazz Estate on the East side. We found all of the beds and blankets super cozy and the shower was excellent. Each room is thoughtfully laid out, spacious and exceptionally clean. The kitchen has every thing you can dream of for meal making. Laurie was thoughtful, welcoming and helpful when we had any confusion. Quality all the way around. We adored our stay here and so did the fur baby. A GEM! Thank you for providing such quality Laurie!

Laurie was an excellent host and had the house stocked with everything we could need, including sound machines and a crib for our baby. The location is very walkable with a nice little café at the corner. We’d definitely stay again if we visit Shorewood again.

Everything went really well with the stay, the host was extremely accommodating. Our only issue was with parking--it's street parking and with littles, it could be difficult on a weekend.

This house was perfect for our group of 4. We originally had 5, which would have worked too! Very comfortable home to retire to in the evenings. Cute neighborhood. Lake Michigan is very close for swimming. Lots of good restaurants nearby. The beds were very comfortable. The House was very available and responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Great location
The owner was very responsive to messages and was very helpful with questions we had. The location was great for our stay for Summerfest. It was a short Lift ride to the festival but also within walking distance of a café and restaurants.

Gem in a beautiful city with great hospitality!
This home was so amazing for myself and 3 of my fishing buddies! Spacious living quarters, beautiful bedrooms, highly convenient location, fully functional kitchen with all the amenities you could ask for!We battled 4 tough fishing days that saw temperatures drop to -21, so it was definitely nice to have a nice home to come back to!The true highlight of the stay was our host, Laurie! Great communication, very accommodating, very good recommendations, super personable and definitely made sure we felt comfortable during our stay!If you’re looking for a place to stay during your visit to SE Wisconsin/ Milwaukee, this is it! 10 out of 10 recommend!
