The stairs are extremely steep, so if mobility is at all an issue this is not the spot for you. The place itself was as advertised and worked perfectly for us. You can even see the lake from the window.

Great property, close to the waterfront and right in the heart of downtown. Good restraunts nearby! Much quieter than staying in downtown MKE and a 40 min drive to do the things we wanted to do in MKE.

Perfect spot for a getaway!

We really enjoyed the location to fun shops and restaurants. We especially enjoyed the Ivanhoe Irish Pub. Angela answered any questions we had and gave us some great tips for things to do in the area! The space is newer, nicely decorated, and very clean! There was a long flight of stairs to reach the home, but well worth it!!
