Christmas & Wedding Long Stay

Our host was amazing! This classic Milwaukee mansion is a jewel. Just know that while the # of bathrooms and master bedrooms are listed correctly, there is a Jack and Jill bathroom between the two masters. We would have preferred to know this in advance, but other family members renting mansions in the neighborhood experienced the same thing. Our host, Ajoy, was incredibly accommodating and let us know all the tips and tricks to street parking for guests. Register on-line, as he suggests, and watch your car stay safe while those who didn’t get towed away. This is a very fun house with a game room on the top floor for entertainment, with a complete apartment downstairs In the basement with two bathrooms. This is a huge plus for a family gathering! Gilded age charm, 100%! We will be back!

Great stay!

This was an amazing home! It was beautiful, clean, well apportioned, as advertised, and great location. We were a group of 7 adults and had plenty of room and bathrooms. The outside patio was lovely. Walking distance to cafes and restaurants. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Large unique house in a great location

House is very spacious and filled with unique decor. Two kitchens, numerous bathrooms, and great outdoor spaces make it great for large groups. The owner Ajoy was immensly helpful and communicative. Great location, we could walk to coffee shops, bars, lake park, and bradford beach easily plus downtown and other activities wete short/cheap uber rides away. The only minimal downside was some of the sofas that convert to mini beds arent the most comfortable, but no place will have 12 comfortable beds - so it was as expected.

We enjoyed the back patio with plentiful seating options The location was great! We got to every place within 10-15 minutes. Loved walking in the neighborhood & to Lake Park & to Bradford beach. I highly recommend this house for a large gathering.

Eastside Mansion with both historical charm and modern convenience

Fabulous location near the lake and the parks. Great outdoor and indoor gathering spaces for a large group. The host was very responsive. Historically appointed living quarters, with a modern recroom and newly redecorated lower level with all the modern conveniences. It was perfect for our family reunion. My only suggestion is to install a keyless entry lock.

Family Wedding

Our son was to be married in Milwaukee and we wanted a house that could accommodate our entire family , which included eight adults and eight children. This house had everything we needed and more. The bathrooms were updated and the entire house was very clean and well stocked. The top floor easily accommodated all the kids and the ping-pong table and foosball table were a big hit. The outdoor patio and amenities were outstanding. In addition, the location of the house was perfect. The kids could easily walk to Lake Park and Bradford Beach and the Downer Street stores and restaurants were an easy walk though beautiful tree lined streets. In regards to the owner, Ajoy was responsive to our questions before the visit; accommodated an early check-in; and contacted us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and that everything was going well. Ajoy is a very gracious host and very pleasant , which made our stay even more perfect. Each of the adults and even the kids often commented how beautiful the house was and how well it fit our entire family. One even asked if we could live there. We would definitely stay at the house again for a family get together. Thank you Ajoy for making our stay memorable.

Beautiful spot!

We had a group of 10 and there was more than enough room! The space was beautiful and clean. Host was great and has great communication. This is a great spot for a group of friends - plenty of space for everyone to have their own space, but also plenty of spots where we could all comfortably be together. 10/10

Amazing house in a wonderful location!

This lovely home was perfect for our extended family when we visited Milwaukee for our son's college graduation. The adults claimed the four bedrooms on the 2nd floor and the kids spread out on the 3rd floor. Having two extra full bathrooms in the newly remodeled lower level was a bonus for our large group too. We enjoyed every aspect of this house - from ping pong tournaments on the 3rd floor, large meals in the dining room, board games in the lower level, and visiting in the living room and outdoor patio. The main floor study was much needed since my husband had to work during our stay. We also enjoyed walking through the beautiful neighborhood to the historic Downer Ave. with coffee shops, restaurants and cute boutiques. Ajoy is a fantastic host and very responsive since he was onsite in the carriage house during our stay. We look forward to visiting again!

Charming Mansion - Lakeshore Milwaukee

We came to Milwaukee to have a family reunion and attend our nephew’s wedding. This is the first time in 40 years that my brothers and I slept under the same roof. This house was perfect! The hot tub was perfect and enjoyable! We loved every floor … the modern finished basement, the classical parlor and the upstairs game room - ball room! Ajoy the owner is very professional and delightful! Cheers - until next time!

Amazing Stay

The house was incredible! The house was large enough for our group of 8-20 throughout the weekend. It was very clean and a fun house to stay in. No issue finding space to sleep. The house was in a good location to travel Milwaukee from. Ajoy was an excellent host and communicated proactively ahead of time. He was very responsive and accommodating to our questions and group. Would stay again!

Beautiful house with all the accomodations

This is a truly beautiful house with plenty of space to sleep and hang out. We enjoyed the upstairs games room (ping pong and foosball along with lots of space and seating to enjoy), relaxed on the patio (plenty of outdoor seating to sit back and talk), and there's even an outdoor hot tub. There was enough parking for the 3 cars we had in the driveway + 2 on the street. The location is superb as it is close to everything, walking distance from some key places (Cafe Hollander is a 5min walk away for breakfast), and still very safe and quiet. Communication with our host was easy and fast. Check-in and check-out were both smooth. Highly recommend.

Huge, eclectic, comfortable, and fun!

Ajoy's property was great! I hosted my bachelor party there and found the place perfect for the 10 of us. Each floor seemed to offer a different experience and the ample bed and bathroom spaces were extremely useful. I'd definitely recommend to any large group coming to Milwaukee - and make sure you plug in the karaoke machine!

What a fantastic place to gather with friends and family! We walked through all the rooms with our jaws on the floor: spacious and great for a large crowd.

Milwaukee's Best

This house was a wonderful place for our family reunion. it as spacious and as beautiful as the pictures suggest. We each had our own sleeping quarters with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for group conversation, games, TV and personal space. There was plenty to do at the house as well as being so close to Lakefront Park and Bradford Beach. We could easily walk, jog or head to the beach. There is a beginner 3 par golf course there that we found unexpectedly and Ajoy brought out some clubs we could use. He was also extremely helpful in answering all of our questions including finding a place nearby to play basketball for our son. We heartily recommend this property and Ajoy as host.

About the host

Hosted by Ajoy Bose

I am an avid traveler. I have traveled to over 100 countries. I love learning about different cultures and getting to know people from all over the world and from all walks of life. I am an investor in disruptive technologies and I'm constantly attempting to learn something new. I enjoy sports (especially swimming), enjoy touring grand homes, chateaus, castles, and places of historical significance during my travels.

Why they chose this property

I love beautiful architecture and I fell in love with my house on first sight! The character of the house is reflected well in the woodwork, crown moldings, fireplaces and large rooms of the house. The backyard is spacious and the house and the patio provide a perfect place for entertaining and socializing.

What makes this property unique

The house was built in 1908 and retains much of the original work and charm, but provides all the comforts and amenities of modern-day living. with four original fireplaces. The first, second and third floors have high ceilings, and spacious rooms. The main entrance, foyer and formal dining room has custom paneled wainscoting and plaster crown molding. The living room, dining room and the two master bedrooms have original fireplaces and elegant chandeliers.
