Book a hotel near Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay

"The Abbey is an icon and worth a stay IF you can get an affordable rate. It’s an old hotel so don’t expect things to be perfect. Despite them continually coating things in white paint it doesn’t take long or much effort to find things wrong/worn with the hotel. The room was clean enough but had red stains on the carpet and the bathroom needs an update, thorough cleaning, and caulk update. The spa is their main selling point but even there things like the steam room are in desperate need of more cleaning, tiles replaced, etc. It was worth the stay but keep your expectations lower and then you won’t be disappointed.

"It was the perfect location and house for a girls weekend away. The owner was very responsive and anticipated every question I had before I even knew I had the question. Highly recommend."

"My family and I had a great time. The host was very responsive and the property was clean and very well maintained. "

"Fantastic hosts. Beautiful and comfortable home. Everything as advertised plus extras. Great coffee machine too!"

"It was very easy communicating with AJ. Timely, accurate and detailed responses at all times. He also allowed us to check in a little earlier as the weather was bad.We lived at the property for 1 night - 5 adults and 6 kids. Location is convenient, safe and there is ample street parking.The property and furniture is a little dated. There was no lock in some of the bedrooms and the upstairs bathroom, which made it a little inconvenient in terms of privacy. The carpet in family room could use some cleaning - we rolled it up during our stay. The televisions could be updated as they were old and we could not connect apps on the TVs for kids. Some mattresses were old and worn, but covered in sheets and were ok to sleep on.Kitchen was quite decent. Lots of plates, mugs, condiments. Nice appliances.Overall we had a good stay for 1 night. It snowed in and the home was quite warm."

"Our few days in Williams Bay was not long enough! The Milky Way home was just what we needed to relax and unwind. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were comfortable, the home was very clean, and communication with the owner was excellent. I would highly recommend this home for any occasion! Thank you for a lovely home away from home! "
