We absolutely loved this property, great host. Timely responses to any messages. Perfect for a getaway in a small Wisconsin town near the lake. Walked out to the pier each day.Decorating and theming of the place is top notch loved all of “the hive” themed things.Very clean place, comfortable beds, great shower/bathrooms. If I’m ever back in Racine this will be the first place I try to book.
