About this property

A Large Rustic Farmhouse In Bay View, Wisconsin

A maze of rooms and hidden corners. When you think you’ve seen it all… there’s another place to visit. Chill out on the deck in the fully fenced in and private backyard or on the upstairs patio, take a run on the treadmill or box in the fully finished attic, record some music or work on your next screen play in the office / sunroom. We have a corn hole set in the backyard. When you run out of things to do, go for a walk and discover Bay View! Please feel free to contact us regarding your upcoming booking and fees.

Our winter rates include 4 guests. Extra guests are $50 each per night. Extra fees are allocated towards additional laundry, used beds, and cleaning.

For an additional $150 fee the hot tub is available for use upon request. Please let us know whether you plan to use the hot tub in advance. We empty, clean, and refill the hot tub per use. Max 4 people in the hot tub at a time. Please no drinking or smoking while you're in the tub. We'll provide additional details and instructions.

Great all around stay

Cute, quirky, but most importantly well thought out. We lacked for nothing and that's saying something because we made brownies... TWICE, okay? The hosts are accommodating and helpful. They've created a great space to help bring your loved ones together.

Fun big house for a family gathering

A house with many rooms and secret back stairways created a fun place to explore. We were in town for a family wedding. Plenty of room for ten adults. We enjoyed the hot tub and the attic fitness center is a nice touch! Thanks, Scott!

Ohio Family enjoyed Milwaukee

The house had everything you could need. The family enjoyed their walks to coffee shops, a park, restaurants and pubs. Parking was never a challenge. The hosts were only a phone call or text away and offered us suggestions to restaurants. The backyard was prefect for our pet dog. There was even a swing for our visiting granddaughter.

Family Christmas

We were in Milwaukee for a family Christmas and The Howell House was an excellent choice for us. Scott was attentive and helpful, the house was really clean and classy. Kitchen and linens were well stocked. All the little nooks around the house made for really fun play for the kids. All in all a great experience!

This house was perfect for our stay in Milwaukee. Lots of bedrooms and it seemed we found new rooms every time we walked around. the deck was the favorite place to hang out and catch up. Very close the the stadium and the college (both places that we visited). Will definitely book this place again on our return visit. The Host was fantastic and very quick to answer any questions that we had.

Wedding weekend stay

The listing of beds does not match the actual house which was extremely disappointing for my family. The listing said there would be 1 king, 3 queens, 1 double and a room with two twins. Instead there was 1 king, 1 queen, 1 double and 4 twins. Did not work out well at all for our family situation. There are also lots of spiders in this house.

Great place to stay

Excellent location. Very spacious. Great workout room, which was utilized by some of our family members. Nice surprise to find a Pack-n-Play was there for our use. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone. Also the host was very responsive.

Fun week in Milwaukee!

Our family (group of 11) loved staying at Howell House! The house had tons of space and the room situation worked out great as we had parents, grandparents, kids 3-11. Loved the backyard for hanging out and then we could all fit around dining table inside too. Neighborhood was perfect! We walked a few times to Humboldt park for kids to play and for a cool summer concert Tuesday night (beer garden too!). The house had everything we needed and owners were quick to communicate with us if we had questions about house or things to do in area. We would recommend and love to visit again!

Fabulous property and host!

This is an incredible house, especially for large groups. We were in town for my daughter’s wedding and this house became our homebase. There was plenty of space for everyone. The house never felt crowded. The yard an outdoor space was just perfect and we made great use of the hot tub. Scott was an incredible communicator and made us feel so welcome staying in their home. The location is close to everything you could possibly need. We were at max 13 minutes away from everywhere we wanted to be I highly recommend this as great place to stay!!

Howell House is so uniquej

Our group of 9 had a great stay at Howell House. Our hosts were very accommodating and thoughtful. The house is huge, so plenty of space for everyone. We really appreciated having use of the two stall garage, washer and dryer, and back yard. We would stay again!

If you like fun and quirky you will love this house. If you love quirky you will want to buy this house. Had a just wonderful stay with my family for a long weekend visiting my niece. It's hard to describe the house - fun, quirky, comfortable... lots to explore and discover. Really great communication. Everyone in my family loved it.

I’d buy it if I could.

This house just made me happy. All the hidden spaces made it feel like a something out of a book. I don’t know if that’s helpful to anyone but there you go anyway. We all kept commenting about how cool the house was. The owners were great and seemed friendly in all of our communications.

Perfect house for our stay

The house was great. We hung out both inside and outside of the house in the yard and the spaces were great for us. We were up in Milwaukee for a bachelor party and there were plenty of bedrooms, a nice yard outside for a fire, and space to sit inside and just chill. Obviously Milwaukee has lots of great drinking options with breweries, but the food in town and even in the Bay View neighborhood was delicious as well. I would be happy to stay at this house again. The host was good with communication and helpful with suggestions of where to go as well.

The Howell House

Our family stay at this large 3 story house was wonderful! Very unique vintage home with stairways to hideaways! Nice big fenced back yard to cookout and enjoy our family. We had so much room even with our large group of 11! Beautiful remodeled modern bathrooms and large dining area and nicely appointed kitchen kept us from feeling cramped! Especially loved being able to pull in to the garage for another level of security. Our celebration had us enjoying the downtown MKE area and we felt very close to everything including a beautiful park just up the street!! Scott and Carrie accommodated an earlier than expected arrival which helped out immensely. I would truly recommend this wonderful home for any large gathering 🥰
