Vintage Charm Meets Modern Comfort Perfect 4 Families & Traveling Professionals
Welcome to Chez Morty!
This is your home away from home in Northside Kenosha—a cozy and stylish 1960s ranch with just the right blend of retro character and modern updates. Whether you're a family on vacation or a traveling professional looking for a peaceful place to work and unwind, our three-bedroom getaway has everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay.
Spacious Backyard & Outdoor Living
Start your mornings with coffee on the backyard patio, and wind down in the evenings under the stars. There’s a large sectional for lounging, a café table set, and plenty of grassy space for kids to run and play. It’s the perfect setup for low-key outdoor fun.
Bedrooms Designed for Comfort & Convenience
Primary Suite: Stretch out in the king-size bed, and enjoy the privacy of an attached vintage bathroom featuring the original 1960s tile and vanity. We’ve styled the space to highlight its retro charm while keeping it cozy and fresh. The room also includes dual closets and a quiet work area with a desk and chair—ideal for remote workers or those who need a little focus time.
Second Bedroom: A warm and inviting room with a queen-size bed and an extra-large wardrobe closet for all your storage needs.
Third Bedroom: Perfect for kids, cousins, or friends, this cheerful room includes two full-size beds, a TV for movie nights and a PS4 for all you gamers. It also has direct access to the living room, which is perfect for families with kiddos they want to keep an eye on.
Bathrooms with Personality
The hallway bathroom has been recently remodeled, featuring a modern LED-lit mirror with a built-in defogger, yet still includes touches of the original tile for that nostalgic flair. Both bathrooms strike a balance between retro and refreshed.
Modern Kitchen
Cook up anything from pancakes to pasta in the fully updated kitchen, complete with a center island for gathering, a brand-new refrigerator, and all the essentials for home-cooked meals. You’ll also find a washer and dryer for added convenience during your stay.
Dining & Entertaining
Enjoy meals together around the 6-seater dining table, and use the vintage hutch to set up a coffee station, snack bar, or your own mini happy hour spot.
Location, Location, Location
Nestled on the quiet Northside of Kenosha, you’re just minutes from the lakefront, local parks, great restaurants, and grocery stores. Whether you're exploring the shoreline, grabbing a bite nearby, or just enjoying a peaceful walk, everything is close by.
Peaceful Vibes Only
This is a family-focused home, ideal for traveling professionals, families, or anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable stay. We kindly ask that party-minded groups look elsewhere—this is a place for relaxation, not revelry.

About the host
Hosted by Mike and Erica
Mike and Erica are Kenosha natives who now live in Arizona. When they are not spending their days in the desert, they, along with their three kids and 4 dogs, travel back to WI to spend time with family. Chez Morty is Mike and Erica's home away from home and they are happy to share it with others who want to visit WI and all the greatness it has to offer.
Why they chose this property
Erica's grandmother used to owe the house across the street from Chez Morty. When Erica was a little girl, she and her cousins spent a lot of time in this neighborhood and loved it. They would play tennis, swim at Washington Bowl, and sled down the big hill by the Velodrome in the winter. Additionally, Mike grew up not far from this neighborhood and he and his brother would frequently ride bikes to the area to trick or treat because the neighborhood gave out the best candy. It's a great neighborhood on the North Side that is about 10-20 minutes from everywhere you want to be. It's also extremely same and quiet with some of the best neighbors Mike and Erica could ask for!
What makes this property unique
It's a 1960s ranch that actually has tile in it from St. Joe's high school. The garage and the basement were finished with some of it while the school was being built. It's also unique in that the bathrooms contain some of the original tile, even though they were remodeled with some modern flare. The home is just a great single level with a lot of space that people enjoy greatly!
