Perfect location. Cutest home with so many amenities. Very nice to share if you like upstairs downstairs bedroom. Just keep in mind, no bath on 2nd level. The front porch alone is worth 5 stars. Loved it.

Best Vacation Spot Ever

We have had the pleasure of staying at The Happy Place twice since our son began attending CUW. We adore coming to Cedarburg, but absolutely love this perfect gem of a home. Not only is the location ideal, but it’s clean, comfortable, well stocked, and a wonderful setting for family and friends to connect.

Amazing Little Home

We absolutely loved this amazing home. It was perfect for our family of four and our children didn't want to leave. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the home for guests to enjoy. The location was wonderful, and we enjoyed walking downtown. We would not hesitate to book this property again when we are in the area.

Second time at this lovely place

We love staying in this property and will be back again. it was a perfect Easter Weekend with my husband's brother and sister in law. As we always enjoy the well appointed kitchen- and cooked a great Easter dinner, enjoyed the spring shops and walking in this town. Great sleep, and thanks for the lovely appointed tea cart- enjoyed knitting near the sunlit bay window and a nice cup of tea in the mornings.

Perfect location for a girls getaway

Everything you could want is walkable from this adorable home! The owners were fantastic, it happened to snow 8+ inches the first night and they were fantastic about making sure it was cleared and safe for us. Any questions we had they were prompt to respond. The house it’s self had everything you could need as well. Really just a great place to stay, would definitely return!

Happy guests at the "Happy Place"

This is a great place to stay when visiting Cedarburg! The "Happy Place" is very well located to downtown, close enough to walk and far enough not to feel guilty to stop at the wonderful bakery ships! The home was very clean, quiet and well stocked with goodies. If you are thirsty no problem, there is a tea, coffee and wine bar, yes one of each! Charming front porch to just sit and relax. Charming place that my wife and I hope to return to.

Perfect Location

The house is in the perfect location for what we wanted. Our trip was to park and walk up and down Washington to shop, eat and drink. The host was so easy to work with and answered all my questions prior to stay quickly. I didn’t have any questions after arriving. Was really nice to have extra blankets and towels handy if we would have needed them. Kitchen was fully stocked with whatever you would need if you wanted to cook yourself. The welcome sign, snacks, wine and more were such neat personal touches. The backyard was very spacious. I highly recommend this happy place!!

Look no further

This three bedroom two story house located on a main thoroughfare in Cedarburg was the perfect destination and home base for my writer’s retreat. I can see why the owners call this home their “”Happy Place”. The house was clean and had plenty of amenities like extra pillows, towels and blankets. The tea/coffee service cart in the living room was a cozy touch. The kitchen had everything I needed from pots and pans to cutlery. There was a nice welcome message for me on the kitchen chalk board, pastries on the table and even bottles of wine. I felt so pampered and taken care of. In addition, there were eggs, bottled water and fresh fruit in the refrigerator. It made me sad to pack up and leave this happy place. I was surprised at how despite being on a busy street, I was not bothered by traffic at night when I slept. The home is a short walking distance from all of the shops and restaurants of downtown Cedarburg. The home had more space than I needed and could easily accommodate a larger group as it had two bathrooms, three bedrooms, a large kitchen with a good sized dining table, a living room and a tv room. It is obvious that Patty and Todd are supreme hosts and take pride in their property. I plan on coming back as soon as I can!

One of the best places we have ever stayed! The house was exactly as shown. It was well stocked with everything anyone could think of (even including breakfast food and coffee). It is also only a couple of blocks (easy walking distance) away from downtown Cedarburg where there are a ton of great restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend New Fortune Asian for Chinese and also Amy's for gourmet caramel covered apples. Our hosts were quick to respond to any questions or concerns and our only regret was that we were only able to stay one night! We would definitely stay here again!
