Baby Fin's Room

From the moment we walked into this adorable, clean, well decorated, and most welcoming home, we enjoyed every minute of our stay! The neighborhood (with its walking paths, coffee shops, carmel apple store and restaurants) is a true gem. And, the host was amazing!

Cute neighborhood

We arrived after midnight and only stayed a little over 24 hours. We were not at this home long enough to enjoy the area but there was a town center within walking distance. The neighborhood felt safe and had plenty of sidewalks and a walking trail. The host was responsive and check in easy.

Great home in adorable village!

We had a wonderful stay. The home was perfect for what we needed. Quaint, but clean and was fully stocked with anything you could need. The Village of Greendale is completely walkable to stores, coffe shops/bakeries, restaurants, ice cream shop, and a wine bar. Flowers everywhere and many of the original homes have a decoration on their chimney, so that was fun to walk around and find! Would recommend!

Charming Place and Location

Wonderful property, well appointed and clean. The location within walking distance to the Village was fantastic. Stayed with family for a family reunion just outside of Milwaukee and was very happy to have found the listing. Having grown up in Greendale it was also a homecoming!

Great Communication

The owner responded quickly to emails and text messages. It’s an older home so the locks did stick a bit trying to open and close doors with the key. The house was the perfect size for 4 people to have their own beds, sitting in the living room and at the kitchen table.

Sweet home in the cutest neighborhood.

Darling home close to Milwaukee, the zoo, the cutest downtown. Erica made everything easy: easy to communicate with, left detailed instructions for the property for a seamless check in and was available if we needed to contact her. It’s our second time staying-already looking forward to more visits!

Lovely home

The home is on the older side but very well kept up. The neighborhood is very nice with plenty of places to visit. There is even a walking path that goes through all the neighborhoods. It is close to Milwaukee and oak Creek. The home is big enough for a family and the owner definitely provides plenty of board games and puzzles for the youngsters to keep busy with. I highly recommend the Milk Can and Ricardo's restaurant to eat at. Both are only 2 blocks away.

Our Little Transition Home

We moved across the country and needed the perfect place to lay our heads while we hunted for our house. Needless to say, this house was a PERFECT transition house for us. Clean, quaint, plenty of room with beautiful little backyard and patio this home was perfect for our needs. Located just a stones throw from a little "downtown area" and a quick 5 minutes to shopping and restaurants, this location offered the quiet we desired with the convenience of modern amenities. The owner was beyond a pleasure to work with and highly communicative. I have already shared with several friends about my experience and they definitely will be looking here first when booking a stay in town.

About the host

Hosted by Erica Stelten

Host profile image
I am originally from Greendale, Wisconsin. While I moved out of state 25 years ago, Greendale is still one of my favorite places on earth. I especially love the historic village with the quaint original homes. In 2019, we decided we wanted to spend more time in Greendale near family so we bought this amazing original to make that dream a reality. When we are not in town, we open this up to renters, many who are in the same boat - originally from the area and coming back to visit family. I love when others get to experience the magic of historic Greendale village living.

Also note that I am a private host. This is not a business. We want to share the magic of Greendale with others as we cover some costs associated with having a second home near our family. I pride myself in being a flexible and responsive host. I have a very generous cancellation policy to make it easy for guests when their plans change. We do not have a property manager but we will be sure to do everthing we can to get help if help is needed. If you should have any issues, I ask that you give me chance to make them right. Thank you!!

Why they chose this property

Greendale is quaint, safe, walkable, unique, and friendly. It feels like you are traveling back to a more simpler, slow-paced time. There's plenty to eat and do within walking distance - you never have to get in a car if you choose not to. Be sure to explore the many footpaths that connect that lead off the dead-end roads between homes and woods and parks. Greendale is such a unique, special place.

What makes this property unique

Greendale originals are just that - original. They are not fancy, though they do have modern ugrades, and they are cozy and functional. They have beautiful wood ceilings and original hardwood floors. Ours is particularly kid friendly. We invite you to use whatever you find that our kids use when we are there - scooters, games, ping pong table, basketball, etc.
