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.

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.

Cute home!!

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.

Great time in Racine

The location of this property in the historic area is lovely and convenient to family activities such as parks, playground, beach, zoo. The house is spacious with nice personal touches by the hosts such as fresh flowers and local bakery goodies. It was easy to communicate with Dan and Ann, and they replied promptly. It has a spacious, beautiful yard and landscaping, plus Lake Michigan is only blocks away and an easy walk to enjoy.

This is a nice home with 4 bedrooms. It can accommodate a large family. There is a tv in all the rooms. It has a nice living room and kitchen with a nice stove and refrigerator. It is very homey and very comfortable. The home is close to shopping and restaurants only a short drive away and only a few blocks from the lake. My family wanted to stay longer.

Cozy Racine Weekend

We had an excellent stay at this beautiful historic home in Racine. The house was immaculate, and the decorations and antiques were a beautiful touch. Our host was very kind and flexible with check in, and even left us a Racine kringle for our stay. We will absolutely be booking again the next time we need a place to stay with space for all of our friends/family! Thanks again.
