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.

It hosted my husband and me, our daughters and her bridal party. Charming home w lots of character. Loved the blue tooth in the shower. Hosts were wonderful! 10 stars!!!!

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.

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.

A perfectly wonderful place

The house is well situated, just minutes from the lake and Main Street. We felt completely at home; the owners have decorated and appointed the house beautifully - every detail has been considered and implemented. Communication was easy and they solved issues (i.e. getting the drive shovelled in a snow storm) before we could even ask about them. The back porch and yard are wonderful for relaxing. We loved the house and the neighbourhood and found it difficult to leave!

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.

Home sweet home!

Clean, nicely furnished, remodeled home with lots of rich history, comfortable beds (found my sleep number) and a super cool back porch and back yard. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood with tons of character and cool architecture. We loved the walks and runs along the lake in the parks that were just blocks away. Two thumbs up for this one!

The beds were comfy, the linens were luxurious, the Kringle was a delicious surprise, the artwork was authentic Racine, the bubbles popped for our two year old, the porch was cozy, the bandaids were helpful, the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, spices, and a Keurig.

Charming House one at Lake

Just two blocks from the lake, this house is set in an adorable neighborhood with lovely old homes and pretty landscaping. We loved taking walks! The house itself is beautiful and well cared for, stocked with plenty of linens and even beach towels. This was a great place to get together, complete with back patio furniture and a grill. Plus, there was a pac n play for the baby! Such a great staying here, and there were many wonderful details that we appreciated.

Beautiful home close to the lake

We stayed at the Red Brick historical home for an Engagement party celebration. The historical home was very clean, comfortable, and just what our family was hoping for. We really enjoyed the back porch, fire table and new grill. The upstairs bathroom was newly renovated and the beds were extremely comfortable. In the morning we walked to the lake and enjoyed searching for sea glass. The location was perfect! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was a fun filled weekend!
