Lovely, comfortable home. Perfect for visiting while there was a snowstorm outside. It seems like a perfect set up for a summer visit which we would like to try in the future!
Historic home provided a great space for our family during our stay. The bonus was proximity to walking trails along the lakeshore and strolls through the historic home district.
Our hosts were wonderful! They were very easy to work with and very responsive to any questions. The neighborhood and house were beautiful. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our family weekend. We would stay again!
Kitchen was beautiful and had everything we needed. The only utensil missing was a pizza cutter. We loved the coffee options and big clean fridge. The kitchen was super cute. Food and groceries were only about an 11min drive that was super convenient. Neighbors were kind and it was a very quiet neighborhood.
Very clean and spacious home, accommodated our family of 6 very well! Ann was super communicative throughout our stay. The property is full of a lot of extra toiletries if you happen to forget anything at home. Great historic neighborhood and super close to the lake!
It was so great to stay in a house in the neighborhood. I grew up in. Some friends and I came in for a high school reunion from different parts of the world. We had an absolutely fabulous time.At this house.
What a lovely home and neighborhood - so comfy cozy. Perfect place for us to celebrate our son's college graduation. Hosts were awesome and so communicative. Answered questions very quickly. Perfect place to rest, relax, and enjoy special time with our son. Highly recommend!
Great location close to Lake Michigan and tourist attractions. Plenty of rooms for a larger family. Well stocked and clean. Would definitely recommend!
The location worked well for us, close to downtown Racine, WI
The house was large enough for us and close to downtown Racine which both were important to us. The shower was updated and clean, kitchen nice. The outside porch needed to be cleaned of spider webs. Ps, didn't see a toaster anywhere, it would have been nice.
We had a great time and highly recommend this property. The owners were gracious hosts and communicated well throughout the process.
We look forward to returning in the future.
Owner were responsive and very accommodating for us. Property was beautiful with plenty of room for everyone. Wonderful old home with tons of modern updates for everyone. We stayed there while in Racine for a wedding and the outdoor patio area was great place to have a some of the wedding party over to visit. Will definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay! The house is a great size for our big family. We traveled with grandparents, teenagers and a baby. It is close to a nice beach and about 40 mins to the Milwaukee zoo. It was a very nice and relaxing few days staying at this property. We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are great.
The house was clean, beds were comfy and the owners made sure to have everything on hand that we may need. We even needed an extra folding chair for the tournament on the beach and they had that too! I highly recommend this property!
The house was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We hosted our rehearsal dinner there and everyone said how amazing the place was! So clean and decorated so cute! I messaged the owners questions and they always messaged me back immediately, and were so accommodating! They made my wedding weekend so much easier! I highly recommend staying here, I know I will again!
