Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Bridget & Tim Schlein
I grew up in Illinois but after graduating from college in Dubuque, Iowa, I loved Iowa so much I decided to stay. I met my husband Tim at our mutual friend’s wedding and we got married in 2010. We always thought we would stay in Dubuque but found ourselves wanting our children to have the same small town experiences we had growing up. A few years ago, we decided to relocate to Tim’s home town of Monona to be closer to family. We love the many outdoor activities and experiences our family is able to do here. We hope you enjoy your stay!
Why they chose this property
Tim and I were excited to purchase this home in 2019 after the prior owner approached us about buying it. I love to decorate and we are “do it yourselfers” as much as possible with the help of our supportive family. We thought this was the perfect opportunity for us to have a space for our family and friends to stay when they visit and fill the lodging gap in our community.
What makes this property unique
From original woodwork to the hardwood floors, this house has lots of historical charm. The front porch is the most peaceful place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the world go by.
