About this property

Wow! Just like Grandma's...Only Better.

This property is NOT lakefront. We are conveniently located between Lakes Michigan and Winnebago. I apologize for any misconception.

This 100 year old+ 1800 SF home is yours to enjoy. Whether coming for a Packer game (Lambeau Field), visiting a WW II submarine (Maritime Museum, Manitowoc), golfing at one of the 25 golf courses in the area, a history buff (Old Wade House), or a car racing fan (Road America), there is plenty to do in "Small Town, USA".

OR just relax, cook your own meals in the well appointed kitchen, enjoy a bonfire outside, or the wood stove inside. There are plenty of board games, puzzles, and cards also! Perhaps the deep claw foot tub beckons you for a de-stressing soak!? The Epsom salts, baking soda, and essential lavender oil are all provided.

All sheets, towels, and linens are provided. There is service (dishes, silverware, glassware) for 10+; a number of pots and pans; pizza stone; cookie sheets; sharp knives, utensils; cutting boards....but no TV !

Every rental party receives their own access code(the last 4 digits of the phone used for this reservation.)so there is plenty of privacy. But we are only a phone call away!

Come and play, relax, rejuvenate.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Growe

Host profile image
I love to travel. My passport boasts Spain, Germany, Mexico, Honduras, Greece, Japan, Czech Republic, England ,El Salvador, Honduras, Portugal, Croatia, and Bosnia/Herzegovina. I have traveled 40+ states...I know for sure I haven't been to Hawaii or Alaska.....but probably yours?

I garden :flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Not a master at any but enjoy the outdoors and the exercise!

I read mostly self-improvement/psychology, but also enjoy an occasional mystery or biography. I just like to know what makes people click...on AND off!

In my personal life...I have been married 49 years and have owned this home for 46 years. My husband and I raised our four children, hosted 3 foreign exchange students, and helped raise several foster boys in this home. I hope you can feel the love and welcome.

I love hosting and providing a serene environment to relax, rejuvenate , and reconnect.

Why they chose this property

We bought this house during the paneling and drop ceiling era. This was one of the very few that had not been "updated". When we purchased it, it was a two family. Ours quickly grew and we soon took over the whole house on a corner lot with two "dead end" streets. Monroe ends at the nursing home, Pleasant into a church parking lot. All I can offer is peace and quiet. Oh, and over 20 golf courses within 30 minutes, 4 observation towers within 40 minutes, 2 LARGE lakes within 20 minutes, numerous small lakes within 10 minutes, hiking and biking trails nearly from the back door as well as an outdoor (seasonal) aquatic center, tennis courts, basketball courts, and playgrounds.

If you are hungry, the well appointed kitchen is available as well as several supper clubs and restaurants in the immediate area. The full service grocery store is less than a mile away, but still in town!

There is also a 24/7 locally owned laundromat. And the volunteer fire department is only 2 blocks away, with excellent response time.

There is a hospital within 10 minutes of the house.

What makes this property unique

Total privacy. This stand alone property is yours exclusively. No upstairs neighbors, no nosy landlord😉.

Oh,,,and cottontail rabbits can be found in the early morning and late afternoon. The native milkweed attracts monarch butterflies, and there are fresh raspberries to pick almost all summer and into the fall.
