About the host
Hosted by Bradley Lautenbach
Hi there I am Brad, your host. I am born and raised in Milwaukee. I have been hosting since 2018. I have a log cabin not too far from Milwaukee that I host and this beautiful home on the Milwaukee River that is surrounded in nature. I love that the house is only 10 minutes from downtown, but seems far from it. I have spent 6 years pouring my love and creativity into this home. It’s my big piece of art that I am sharing with everyone now.
Why they chose this property
Very peaceful family friendly neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
Artist designed and built. And surrounded by the river, wildflowers, and lots of trees.
