Beautiful home in heart of Racine

We had a wonderful weekend in this charming home with everything you could need. Kayaking was just a few minutes away, as was the beach and zoo. The owner was very responsive when there was a slight issue with the internet- she had us up and running in no time!

Perfect Choice!

This was the perfect property for us. My husband grew up in Racine so (several times!) we took the grand tour. Went to Milwaukee a few times as well. The location was great, the house was perfect for our needs (3 bedrooms, 2 baths) and the decor was lovely. Owner very easy to contact. Once we were there, she even texted to warn us of predicted bad weather and provide some instructions. Fortunately, it did not impact us, but it was thoughtful of her to reach out. We walked/ran to Lake Michigan every day, which was a huge plus for our exercise-committed group. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Racine cottage!

Visiting my hometown of Racine could not have been better! This fairy tale tutor like cottage was so comfortably designed, attractive and more than enough room for my sister and I and our husbands. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint and within walking distance to Lake Michigan and the Zoo along with being close to many restaurants, the historic downtown and the Racine Yacht Harbor. A wonderful choice for a visit to Racine. And we loved the fireflies in the mystical backyard! We will go back!
