About this property

Family Retreat Near Lake Michigan | Extended Work Stay

Pro Cleaned • Self Check-In • Family & Extended-Stay Friendly

Welcome to your Family Retreat near Lake Michigan — a comfortable home base for vacations, family visits, and extended work stays in Racine.

Whether you’re gathering with family, enjoying a getaway with friends, visiting the area for an event, or working locally for an extended period, this home offers the comfort, space, and conveniences you need to settle in and feel at home.

Comfortable, Connected & Convenient

Enjoy high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the home, along with three Smart TVs located in the living room and bedrooms. Bedside lamps with USB charging ports make it easy to keep phones, tablets, and other devices powered during your stay.

The bright, fully stocked kitchen includes a coffee and tea bar and opens into the dining and living areas, creating an inviting space for meals, conversation, or relaxing after a busy day.

The home also features two full bathrooms — one on each floor — with tubs/showers, hairdryers, essential toiletries, fresh towels, and linens.

An additional third bedroom with two twin beds and an air mattress is available upon request for guests needing extra sleeping space.

Outdoor Space & Lake Michigan

Step outside and enjoy the private fenced backyard, furnished patio, fire pit and gas grill — perfect for an afternoon cookout or relaxing outdoors.

Located just one block from Lake Michigan, the home provides convenient access to the lakefront and nearby trails for walking, running, and biking. Guests can also enjoy the many seasonal boating, fishing, beach, and waterfront activities available throughout the Racine area.

Close to Downtown Racine

Downtown Racine is nearby, giving you easy access to:

Local restaurants and coffee shops
Art galleries and boutiques
Bars and live entertainment
Lakefront attractions
Shopping and everyday conveniences
Great for Family & College Visits

The home is also conveniently located for families visiting students or attending events at Gateway Technical College, University of Wisconsin–Parkside, and Carthage College.

A Comfortable Choice for Extended Work Stays

Traveling to the area for business, a temporary assignment, or project work? Our home offers the space and conveniences of a residence while keeping you close to many major employers throughout Racine, Kenosha, and southeastern Wisconsin.

Nearby companies and organizations include SC Johnson, Modine, Twin Disc, Jockey International, Amazon, Rust-Oleum, Microsoft, Uline, healthcare facilities, and other regional employers.

Stay for a Weekend — or Settle In for a While

Whether you’re here to reconnect with family, explore Lake Michigan, attend a local event, or need a comfortable home away from home for an extended stay, Lake Michigan Dreamscape gives you the flexibility to work, relax, and enjoy Racine at your own pace.

I would also change “unobstructed lake views” unless guests can actually see Lake Michigan clearly from the backyard. Since the home is one block from the lake, saying “just one block from Lake Michigan” is strong enough and avoids creating an expectation that could affect reviews.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

What makes this property unique

What makes my property unique?

My home is over 125 years old and full of historic charm. Built during the late 1800s—when Racine was thriving as a manufacturing and lakefront city—this crème brick gem reflects the craftsmanship and character of the era. Racine was known for innovation and industry, and homes like this were built to stand the test of time.

What truly sets it apart? We’re just one block from beautiful Lake Michigan!

You can enjoy morning walks along the shoreline or watch the sunrise over the water.

Inside, you’ll find touches of vintage character, and outside, a peaceful backyard oasis with a new gazebo, fire pit, and plenty of seating—perfect for relaxing after a day by the lake. It’s the perfect blend of historic charm and cozy comfort in a prime lake-close location.
