    What a wonderful experience! We stayed for five nights in the prairie room, and we felt like we were home. Jerry and Julie are wonderful hosts, and we will stay there anytime we go to Milwaukee.

    Julie and Jerry were wonderful hosts. They have such neat decor and furniture in the house. The house and area are surprisingly quiet for such a busy street and it's not too difficult to get to and from Milwaukee- as long as you have a car. Breakfast (Saturday) was absolutely wonderful, but very filling! It would have been nice to have white towels, however thick, fluffy and pretty their towels are. Overall it pretty much couldn't have been better.


    Relaxing get away that is next to everything!

    Jerry and Juile offered the nicest stay. They were so very polite and paid attention to special details. Their home is lovely, and we can not imagine anyone not feeling welcome in this lovely mission style home! We will be back!

    We stayed in Julie's and Jerry's B&B place for 3 days and felt just welcome. All rooms are designed with an individual charm, in a rustic style. When we came home in the night after long trips, the hosts had lit the fire in the guestlounge. Every morning, we came to the dinner room, a varying and delicious breakfast was already prepared for us, and we sat together with other guests for a nice breakfast talk. It was one of the most pleasent welcomes we got throughout our trip around the Great Lakes. Quiet location, nice hosts - would go there again. We would recommend this to anyone who has a car and doesn't mind being a 5 minute drive out of the town centre.
