Absolutely fantastic! So many extra amenities. Every kitchen item we could possibly want. We stayed 5 days and cooked almost every meal for 8 people. Sparkling clean and truly beautiful. Close to the lakefront and beautiful walking paths in Kenosha.

Beautiful home, close to the beach. We came up for the Kenosha Homecoming and our group had a great time gathering, talking about our cars, and relaxing. Our host was available via text — answered promptly to any questions or concerns.

Fantastic home for large groups!

We had 8 adults and 5 children stay at this amazing property! Close to several beaches, hot tub worked great, two areas to gather as a group. Kitchen was fully stocked and we were easily able to prepare all of our meals there. The only other thing I would mention is that if you are staying in the master suite (which was amazing) there is a high skylight that did let in a lot of sun in the mornings. It ultimately didn’t affect us much, but is worth noting in my view. Joe was a great communicator and we really enjoyed our stay. 10/10

Perfect holiday get-away destination!!

My husband and I selected this house for a pre-Christmas get-away with our four adult daughters, two husbands and a baby. We couldn't have been happier with our selection.The on-line photos do a good job of accurately representing the amenities, of which there are many. Each couple had their own distinct room, two of which had en suite bathrooms and three of which had shared hall baths. We also enjoyed that there were two distinct sitting areas -- the downstairs living/dining area and the spacious upstairs family room/den. Everyone was able to find a space for themselves, if they wanted some alone time (or to scream/sing while watching Taylor Swift's Eras Tour again!). The beds were comfortable (although note that the pillows are very firm) and the water pressure in the showers was exceptional. But the best part about the house is how well-appointed it is. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare a meal for 8 people (as we did every night). The dining table comfortably seats up to 12 people (or 8 people and a jigsaw puzzle in progress!). As we were there in December, we very much enjoyed having the wood-burning stove (wood provided!) and the outdoor hot tub (which was very clean and well-maintained). And don't forget the ping pong table in the garage which was the source of many heated tournaments! As we were leaving, our kids asked when we could come back and do it all again. Maybe summer next time, so we can take advantage of all the outdoor activities, as well.

Family time

The house fit our family of 12 very well and allowed every family to have their own bathroom, which is always helpful with a large group from out of town! Communication with the owner was quick and easy. The house is stocked with plenty of towels, sheets, and kitchen items. Just a side note that the washer needs to have a clean out, it happens with front loaders. Thank you!

Guys weekend

This year was our 21st annual fishing trip and we decided to try our luck salmon fishing on Lake Michigan. We needed a house large enough for 12 guys that was close to the lake and this one did not disappoint. Great outdoor space for hanging and grilling, chilling, and throwing cornhole (bring your own boards if you’re serious throwers.) Inside was huge with a nice kitchen featuring Viking appliances and a Sub Zero fridge/freezer. Dining/living room was great for meals and a table big enough for everyone to play poker and have a seat. Lots of beds and extra space for those not wanting to have an awkward spoon. If you’re near Kenosha and looking for a space that accommodates a large group I would certainly recommend this house!

Retreat

This home is a wonderful place to retreat, reset and refresh. I brought women together from their mid-20's to 60's and everyone enjoyed this home. There was space to be alone and there was space to be together. The kitchen is amazing and every part of that home is welcoming. The hot tub and firepit were amazing.

Wonderful family vacation is this spacious home!

Our family of 11 (6 adults, 5 children 9 & under) visited this home in Kenosha in June of 2021. The size of the home was perfect for us. The house was clean and beds comfortable. Communication with the owner was very easy. Any questions or issues we had were addressed promptly and in a friendly manner with Shelly. We had inquired about pickleball nearby and when the owners didn't find options, they ordered a portable pickleball net and delivered it to the home. We were able to park 3 cars and set up the pickball net in the spacious driveway. So if you play pickleball, you will have a net waiting for you. All you will need is sidewalk chalk for the lines. The beach very close by was beautiful and clean. Our grandkids had a wonderful time there and on a nearby new large playground. The only issues we had were the following: The cookware (pots & pans) were very worn out. We had a very difficult time with food sticking and trying to clean them. They need to be replaced. There are train tracks nearby. One night the whistle woke everyone up. This was only one night & all other trips were during the day. These two items were minor issues compared to the positive overall experience. I would highly recommend this home & owners.

The perfect weekend getaway

Joe’s house was exactly what we were looking for for a girls weekend staycation. With people coming from Milwaukee and Chicago, it was the perfect in-between location. The house is located a short (less than 20 minute) walk to Lake Michigan, but even if you don’t go to the lake there is plenty of space at the house to relax and hang out. The kitchen was nicely stocked, and all of the beds were extremely comfortable. I would stay here again, and recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful house in Kenosha!

Lovely for a family getaway!

Our group consisted of 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 6, 4, 3, and 1). The setup of this house is absolutely lovely for families! Ample bedrooms and baths for adults and kids - making it easy for both families to have an easy time with bedtimes! The property is lovely. One thing that was a surprise but so amazing - the TVs have Roku - so for movie nights for the kids you really couldn’t have a better setup.

The perfect getaway

The house was beautiful and amenities were perfect. Between the hot tub, fire pit, and numerous comforts in the home, this was a perfect short getaway. The house being tucked back from the road makes you feel worlds away while still being close to any store/utility you may need. John and Shelly were fantastic hosts with great communication as well. I wholly recommend staying here!
