Amazing Little Home

We absolutely loved this amazing home. It was perfect for our family of four and our children didn't want to leave. There were so many thoughtful touches throughout the home for guests to enjoy. The location was wonderful, and we enjoyed walking downtown. We would not hesitate to book this property again when we are in the area.

Girls in Cedarburg

The house was pretty much perfect! Location, you couldn’t ask for better. Everything you need and more was available in the kitchen with a very helpful schematic on the fridge. Beautiful cozy house. Lovely to come home in the evening to a nicely lit front porch. Super clean inside and out. We all had a great time. Todd & Patty were very quick to respond to any questions. Absolutely would stay here again.

It’s OUR NEW HAPPY PLACE

This experience was beyond expectation - cozy, insanely clean, well, organized, and perfectly located by the wineries and shops. This was a perfect set up for my girlfriend, and our two teenage daughters. This home accommodates the young and old. Plenty of board games and books, a foosball machine and dartboard. This happy home had the cutest kitchen I have ever seen. It truly felt HAPPY! You could feel the happiness and hospitality of the hosts. We definitely felt at home and taken care of.

Heaven in Cedarburg!

I'm revived and rejuvenated ~ in great part to the lovely stay that my sister and I had at "Our Happy Place!" It was more homey feeling than my home (LOL) and had a wonderful positive energy. Great care and love has been put into this property. The Hosts stop at nothing to predict your needs. I will be a "lifer" returning as soon as I can .

Love the Happy Place

Cute home and so close to downtown Cedersburg WI, shopped in cute shops and went to winery two doors down. We brought a lot of stuff we did not need because they have much there already. Spent one day at the Kohler Spa and then two nights at home except out for dinner, girls trip and so much fun! Will be going back we were very happy😄

Cozy and Welcoming

We were in Cedarburg for a wedding weekend, and this cozy home was just the place we needed to relax while not out and about. We loved that it was an easy walk to the quaint downtown. Todd and Patty were great hosts and they are very thoughtful with the little extras that make guests feel welcome and at home.

Happy guests at the "Happy Place"

This is a great place to stay when visiting Cedarburg! The "Happy Place" is very well located to downtown, close enough to walk and far enough not to feel guilty to stop at the wonderful bakery ships! The home was very clean, quiet and well stocked with goodies. If you are thirsty no problem, there is a tea, coffee and wine bar, yes one of each! Charming front porch to just sit and relax. Charming place that my wife and I hope to return to.

Perfect Location

The house is in the perfect location for what we wanted. Our trip was to park and walk up and down Washington to shop, eat and drink. The host was so easy to work with and answered all my questions prior to stay quickly. I didn’t have any questions after arriving. Was really nice to have extra blankets and towels handy if we would have needed them. Kitchen was fully stocked with whatever you would need if you wanted to cook yourself. The welcome sign, snacks, wine and more were such neat personal touches. The backyard was very spacious. I highly recommend this happy place!!
