It is wonderful to see people preserving our history in these old homes. Beautifully decorated, very clean and well supplied. Walking distance to the marina and shopping which we did. Also brought our bikes and jumped on the bike trail up the block. Did a morning of fishing with Topgun Charters which was fantastic and we did get our limits. Drove over to Cederburg for shopping etc.

My stay in Port Washington was absolutely amazing! The house was incredibly comfortable, and the beds were some of the best I’ve ever slept in. The entire home was beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully put together.Everything was conveniently located and easy to get to, making the stay even more enjoyable. The owner was extremely helpful, kind, and responsive, which made the experience stress-free.The bathroom was stunning and so relaxing—it truly felt like a spa retreat. Every detail of this home made our stay special. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would!
