Great house in a neighborhood that has a lot to do, while being an easy walk to the lake and a quick drive to downtown. We really appreciated the fully fenced in yard and the rooftop deck for morning coffee. Would definitely stay here again!

Definitely a Gem!

We enjoyed our two-night stay at Bay View Gem while visiting Milwaukee for the first time. The location was excellent - great neighborhood with trails for walking with dogs and plenty of good placed to eat close by, not to mention the very short and easy drive to downtown. We would definitely recommend.

Stellar Neighborhood

We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely neighborhood of Bay View. The location is ideal and it has all the amenities we could have asked for. Unique restaurants and lounges, groceries, and parks are all available within a few walkable blocks. The lake and walking path are just two blocks away. There’s easy access to and from other areas of the city as well. The house is cute and comfortable with all the necessities, and the hosts were helpful and super nice. The check-in and check-out was uncomplicated and concise. This was our first trip to Milwaukee and we were really impressed with this fun town and our Bay View gem.

Long weekend in Milwaukee

My husband and I loved our long weekend at this home. The home was clean and fully equipped with all things needed for a comfortable stay. The fenced in yard was well-maintained and such a nice part of this pet-friendly property. The neighborhood is INCREDIBLE - extremely walkable, so close to the lake, parks, and bike trail. The check-in and check-out processes were simple. We would love to stay again!

Great house and location

This is the perfect spot to stay for a trip to Milwaukee. The house was clean and had plenty of room for me, my wife, child, and dog. Check-in process was easy and communication with the host was great. The location is super cool. There's a really nice Italian grocery store across the street and a cool bar/restaurant a block away. A lakeside park is within walking distance.

Awesome Trip

This was an excellent location for us. It was close to our family as well as close to the city and a very walk-able neighborhood. The hosts were very accommodating with our requests. They gave us an early check in and we were able to leave behind items for our family members who were coming after us. Great hosts! The home was well sized for all of us to eat around the dining table and the living room was very comfortable. We had a wonderful visit, thank you again!

Beautiful neighborhood

Absolutely enjoyed our stay. It was our first time visiting Bayview and the neighborhood surprised us. There's plenty of food/entertainment within walking distance. We enjoyed the South Shore farmers market on Saturday just a short walk away. The property had everything we needed and the fenced in yard was perfect since we had our dog with us. The owner was easy & quick to communicate with. Checkout cleaning requirements were also quite easy as compared to other places we've visited which was much appreciated as we traveled with an infant.

Our new Home Away From Home

The house is very clean, and the kitchen is well stocked. We enjoyed the patio area and the grill for a nice summer evening. We loved the area, and the neighbors were friendly. Great location and a short walk to the lake or the Brewers game. The homeowner is very kind and quick to respond to availability and questions. We will definitely be back when visiting our kids in the area.
