Parking: Before booking, please read through the parking description, dimensions of the closed garage and review the picture of parking spaces to plan your parking.
- One Closed Garage: There are 3 garages. You can park 1 car inside the rightmost garage The closed garage is a standard size garage (please scroll down to see the dimensions). You can park SUV, sedan or compact car easily. I used to have long term tenants who parked their 7-seater Volvo minivan in it. If you are new to this space, then you can certainly try to park minivan or any other vehicle with over 6 seats however it will be difficult to do so. So, please park larger vehicles (over 6 seats) on the driveway. To pull out only the car that is inside the garage, you have to first pull out your car(s) parked on the driveway first so if there is a need to frequently pull out only the car parked inside the garage then it is best not park inside; you can park either on the driveway or I can arrange for street parking permit.
Closed garage dimensions: Garage Entrance Dimensions : 96 inches W (8 Ft); 96 Inches H (8 FT). Garage Dimensions: 108 Inches W (9 Ft) x 224 Inches L (18.6 Ft). Car hood at the end of the garage: Height 52 Inch (4.3 Ft). Length 55 Inch (4.5 ft).
- Two Driveway Parking Spaces: Located in front of the middle and the rightmost garage. Please do not park in front of the leftmost garage because my car is parked inside the leftmost garage and parking here will block my car. Please maneuver your car carefully on the driveway at all times as the space is very limited and get help from someone if your vehicle is big. Guests have parked here comfortably. Please do not attempt to park more than 2 cars on the driveway because it is not possible with space provided and also avoid parking on the backyard lawn grass. The driveway has been widened by about 5 feet with pavers, giving larger vehicles like a 7‑seater minivan more room to maneuver when pulling in or out. If you have bicycles then it is OK to park on the lawn grass. For your own safety, please do not leave any valuables inside the car and always lock your car.
Staying with Children: Please ensure that they do not draw pictures on the wall or spill any ink on the carpet or any other furniture. Bring your own drawing book. If there are ink stains anywhere, then extra cleaning fee will be applied. If they play with the toys and read children's books, then please ensure that they are all back to its basket. We have had situations where the children packed the toys/ games/ books. Later, the parents mailed them back to me.
Pets: Pet fee indicated is for one pet per stay. Please do not bring a pet and expect not to pay a fee. In the past, guests have debated about it with reasons such as - we are only here 2 days, it is a very small dog, the dog will stay with our local relatives (which btw never happened; the dog stayed in the unit) etc. etc. I have always charged the fee. I usually send a payment request and if the guest does not respond then I ask support who in turn will charge the credit card of the guest. We can avoid all the awkwardness if you just pay the fee upfront during reservation and enjoy your stay with your pet(s). Also if you decide to bring a pet after you booked the place, then you can alter the reservation to add the pet. If you have more than one pet, then please contact me. You must provide details of the pets before the booking to check if it is OK to bring them. Cats and dogs are allowed. Pets must be trained. The nails must be trimmed. The pet must not harm or threaten other guests/ host on this property and neighbors. Some neighbors have pets so the guests must watch their pets to avoid conflicts. With some responsibility, you can enjoy your stay along with your pets. IMPORTANT: Please bring your own pet bed or blanket. Pets are not allowed to use the beds, couches, blankets or other furniture for sleeping.
2 Smart TVs. 75 inch TV n living room and 55 inch TV in BR-4
No smoking inside the building and balconies: you can smoke 10 away from the building. Drugs are strictly prohibited. There should be no smell of weed Cannabis anywhere on the property. If smoking is done inside the building or there is smell of weed Cannabis anywhere on the property, then there is a fine of $500 and termination of your reservation.

If you are planning to have a get together party, then please inform me before the booking. There is a refundable deposit of $300. This will be refunded after you checkout. Very loud music will not be allowed. We have had issues with some loud parties in the past where the guest played loud music past midnight and between 2 AM to 3 AM. If you receive a message to lower the volume then you must comply. Lower the volume during quiet hours. Failure to inform us about your party in advance or not lowering the volume when you receive a message from me will lead to termination of your reservation. We would love our guests to have a good time and being cognizant of the house rules and the neighborhood.

We had 15 people with 2 dogs and felt like just the cozy size to host a family reunion. Host was great and responsive, the neighborhood was beautiful and truly easy 5 min quiet walk to the lake.

Thanks for staying at my place. I enjoyed hosting your group during Harley Davidson Homecoming weekend. I’m glad your group enjoyed their stay and walk to the Atwater Park beach. That amenity you mentioned was fixed by a technician on the day you checked out.
Well appointed, bright, welcoming. Close to all the things we needed, and some shopping. Quiet and big enough for our group of 10. The host was approachable, helpful, and kind!

Thank you for the kind words! The guests were great, followed all the house rules and left the place clean. I am glad they enjoyed the restaurants, parks and Lake Michigan.
This property was ideal for our family of grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren in town for a family wedding. Close access to the lake was perfect, and it was 15-20 to wherever we needed to be in the Milwaukee area. Communication with the host was prompt and informative. We would stay here again!

I enjoyed hosting Jacqueline's guests. One of the guests was being honored in Milwaukee so they all came in a group. Very cooperative, followed all the house rules and the house was clean. I'm glad they enjoyed the nearby lake park beach. I like the way they left - trash left outside in the bin, all used towels, bedsheets and other linens were on the floor so the cleaners knew which ones need to be cleaned. Thank you!
Highly recommend! Beautiful place that was comfortable and stocked with everything you need! Great neighborhood within walking distance to beach and lots of restaurants. Host was very communicative and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Note: you do have to go up 19 steps to get to entrance.

Thank you Linda! It was a pleasure hosting Linda's group. I am glad they enjoyed their stay at my place, location, Atwater park beach and the restaurants. They followed all the house rules and kept the place in good condition. Highly recommended guests!
We had a wonderful stay here! Our family (2 adults, 2 kids and 2 grandparents) fit wonderfully in this spacious, clean duplex.
The host was a great communicator and provided great service. The area was safe, great access to biking and exploring the city. The kids loved being able to walk a few short blocks to Atwater Beach for lake time and nightly sunsets. Our family would definitely come back.

Allison and her family were great guests. They were exploring the city and were bicycling on nearby trails. They followed all the house rules, communicated promptly and left the house clean. Highly recommended guests! Will be happy to host them again!
Very comfortable place on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the house, excellent for my teenaged daughter’s birthday getaway with her friends. The 3rd floor was a huge loft with many beds (and its own bathroom), very spacious and lovely. The 2nd floor was sunny and bright. The kids could also walk to the nearby Atwater Park Beach (truly a 5 minute stroll), which was very beautiful (lifeguard on duty too!). We appreciated our stay, and found our host to be kind, responsive, accommodating, and helpful. He even found my daughter’s reading glasses after we checked out, and offered to ship them to us. The neighborhood was beautiful and safe, nice and quiet. I would highly recommend this place for a family stay.
