    Beautiful 100 year old home with a lot of space for our large family. The shared driveway had parking behind the home for three cars. The neighborhood felt safe. Host replied promptly to all communications. The kitchen had the necessities. Each bathroom had soap, shampoo, and tissues. The laundry room had detergent and extra towels and sheets.We stayed during the coldest weather in 6 years and the home is 100 years old, so the home had cold areas. The host supplied two space heaters: one for the laundry room to protect the water pipes and one to use in a bedroom. We could have used more heaters - some bedrooms went unused because they were too cold.We would definitely stay again, but only in the spring or fall.

    The house was what we needed for our family visit for Thanksgiving. There were plenty of spaces for sleeping for three families, and for gathering for our dinner. There were some issues with the house itself, which are a concern. But all in all, it was a good place for us to use. Thank you.

    It is a very old home with some really great qualities, but it definitely has some things I would not call charming. It is very large with plenty of space. The pictures make it look a bit nicer than it actually is. The floors are terribly dirty, all our feet were black from walking around. The yard has 4 large garbage cans that are not shown. When we arrived, the home was not cleaned from the stay before. The cleaning team was called and came within 2 hours of the time we were supposed to check in and we checked in about 4 hours late. The cleaning fee was returned to us but this was very inconvenient. There are various bedrooms behind locked doors, there is a combination of codes and keys to get into all the rooms which was unexpected. Behind the locked doors it was unclear if the bedding had been changed.We did not have access to all the rooms until about 8pm.Adam the host was responsive within an hour of messages but did not always return calls, we were communicating through text, phone calls, and the VRBO app so it was all very confusing.

    I liked the old, established neighborhood. It was convenient for getting around Milwaukee, not far from the lakefront. Our group had three cars. That worked fine. Theoretically, the parking area in back has room for four cars. That might have challenged our senior driving skills. Owner was responsive to our questions. The house is very spacious. It's not a decorator showhouse, but it more than met our needs.

    The house was great for a large group, with lots of beds and bedrooms. Plenty of towels and sheets available. Owner was easy to contact and had prompt responses for any questions that were asked.
