Like staying at a grandparents place :) Very welcoming and clean with so much character. The great location meant we didn’t need to drive anywhere. Nice walk to breakfast, ice cream, dinner, theater and trails.

Perfect Little House

This charming house was very clean and all of our accommodations were wonderful. We attended a wedding at Mercantile Hall just a few blocks away, so the location was perfect. It was walking distance to everything downtown: breakfast, dinner, bars, wedding hall, coffee shops. Our group of 4 was very comfortable but there was plenty of room for a couple more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this house!

Perfect Place

This property was the perfect place for my daughter's wedding party. The directions were clear and the check-in process was easy. The house was comfy, and I loved the retro decor. The host was accommodating when there was a change in the number of guests.

I highly recommend this place!

The place is immaculately clean! The property owner was very responsive and accommodating! I highly recommend this place. We came to ski at the Alpine Valley and so some hiking at the whitewater trails. It was a good place in between. Overall, we had a very positive experience.

Charming and comfortable stay

We were attending an event at the nearby State Recreation Area (VRBO won’t let me actually include the name, IYKYK) but didn’t want to stay in a hotel in Kenosha. This location was perfect - less than 15 minutes away - and the accommodations were quiet and very comfortable. The house has a very retro vibe, most of us grew up in the 70s and 80s and felt right at home. Host Donna had clear instructions and responded quickly to all of our questions. Highly recommended.

Retro Magic!

Donna is a wonderful host and the house was fantastic! Perfect location and just right for our group of 5…we were close to Lake Geneva for walking the shore line and other activities and we were able to go on a great bike ride right from the house. Next time we will definitely bring our kayaks and check out the Fox River. Thanks for your hospitality!

Family Wedding

Great location! We were within walking distance of downtown Burlington, which had a nice street festival taking place and was close to excellent food. In addition, we were just minutes away from the venue for a family members wedding. The place was clean and exactly what was described in the overview of the place. Would definitely stay there again!

Clean, comfortable and cozy!

We had part of my daughter's wedding party stay here for my daughter's wedding this past weekend at Veteran's Terrace. They were so happy and said it was very clean, comfortable and cozy. They were also able to walk to all of the locations that were part of the wedding. It was a great alternative to staying in a hotel.

Quiet, fun place to stay

I always try to consider all elements of a stay in my rating. Overall it’s a fun and great place to stay in an area with limited options. Reasonably priced for the surprisingly large interior. It’s deceivingly spacious, and sittti g outside you’d never know it was so big. We didn’t get to use the patio area, but it looks like it’d be fun. Awesome finds throughout the home as well. No critiques on the home, but the parking is very tight for pickups, especially large pickups. Thank you Donna for a great stay! We’ll be back!

Perfect house for our family of 4 adults.

This is a cute clean property. We were in town for a couple days to attend a family wedding. We opted for this location which was in walking distance to the wedding venue. It was so nice to have the extra room with our 2 adult kids. The covered patio in the back was perfect for our morning coffee. Some additional pluses on this property are comfortable beds, plenty of towels, one and a half bathrooms and stocked coffee!
