This property was very clean, convenient and comfortable. I loved all of the little attentions to detail. The pictures don't convey how pretty everything is. The apartment is light-filled and so roomy. Fall is a wonderful time to visit and enjoy all of the colors.

Everything was squeaky clean, comfortable and cozy. Lots of thoughtful touches made our stay at this vintage house very enjoyable. The neighborhood was quiet, safe and within walking distance of Rotary Park at the port, south beach and the historic downtown area. Only a short drive to Cedarburg, Grafton and Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would return to this property without a doubt!

Port stay

The property was clean and well stocked. The many windows make it so bright. The property was updated throughout and communication with owners was superb. Beautiful older home. Location was perfect for downtown adventures & walks on the beach. Bike path is so close. It is located on a busy street so has some traffic noise but nights were more quiet

Honesty is Refreshing!

This property lives up to its photographs and description! No "fish eye" lens views! Spacious lodging with room to walk around each bed, table, furniture. Lodging is very secure with locking systems in place. We were greeted warmly by Janice who explained a variety of aspects of the property including locking/unlocking, and local eateries. Time and talent have worked together to create a stylish, but not stuffy lodging spot. Kitchen is the best supplied we've ever experienced. Thank you so very much, Janice and Dave! Happy Trails to all!

Moms' time away

My friend and I were looking for small towns with specialty shops, great restaurants, and a beautiful area. And decided on staying in Port Washington at this rental, from online searches. The house is in a great location for walking downtown for restaurants or coffee or sightseeing at the harbor. The lake side fog that crept in was beautiful. This is simply a beautiful area of WI.This house was perfect for our time away. There were some extras in addition to the expected amenities. It was clean and inviting, with a cozy feel. It had character and charm, avoiding the trend some rentals that have succumbed to with the all-gray and white interiors and bare walls. I'd stay there again and recommend it to others.The only caution I would put out there would be for elderly or somewhat disabled persons. The stairs are just a little steep and a little shallow, with it being an older house. An elderly person may have trouble carrying any heavy luggage or items up the stairs. But also, if Dave was around, I am confident he would assist you.
