My friends and I loved our stay at the penthouse for a chill bachelorette party! Great location to many restaurants/shops, super clean, and very cozy. The swing chairs in the windows were a highlight and the place was decorated so nicely. Definitely recommend staying here!

Amazing property

This far exceeded our expectations and our family of 5 loved the accommodations. We all loved the window swings, decor and the amazing shower and my husband and sons loved the arcade game. The location is perfect and the owners thought of all the little things such as labeling the light switches and leaving instructions with pictures for the pull out couch. This place was perfect in every way!

Rollaway Beds and Egg Chairs for the Win!

We loved it here! Everything was super clean, and our little family of 5 had a great stay. The teenagers couldn't decide which boy should sleep on the couch. All three kids loved the egg chairs, and everyone loved the arcade game! Mom loved the history books too, since she grew up just south of the state line!

Great Mother’s Day weekend

We loved the location right downtown. Had delicious cheese curds 2 doors down with a great bartender. Next morning walked a block down the square and had a pedicure. Myron did an amazing job decorating this unit. Had everything we needed. We would love to come back!!!

Great spot!

Amazing place - beautifully decorated & spotless! We appreciated the basics in the kitchen (pam spray, oil, salt & pepper, etc) & the welcome book. Communication was good and check-in/out were easy. The swing chairs were delightful & my friends report that the mattress offered a great night’s sleep. We had dinners at Baumgartner’s & Minhas Kitchen & lunch at North Side Pub. We went tubing on the Sugar River for 4 glorious hours & enjoyed shopping around the square. Would totally recommend & stay again.

Definitely a PENTHOUSE!!!

This was one of the most amazing places I've ever rented. And I've rented quite a few homes around the US. Everything about the Penthouse was high class. The private elevator came in very helpful including the directions the owner provide on how to operate it. In addition the instructions on using the U Tube TV made it very easy to turn on. The location was perfect for visiting the quaint town of Monroe. The owners did an excellent job in decorating this gorgeous penthouse. I would highly recommend staying -- even if it was just for one night.

Mom/Daughter Trip

Our stay at this property was excellent! We took a quick mom/daughters trip to shop around and try new restaurants. The penthouse was very clean and accessible. Three of us stayed and the property was so roomy that we always had our own personal space. The penthouse is located downtown which is also the location of several small businesses. We found that the shops in Monroe trumped the local shops in other surrounding towns. We loved the close access to all sorts of shopping, food, and drinks. Although we did travel to a couple surrounding towns, everything we needed or wanted was right there in Monroe. We had a memorable and outstanding stay at the penthouse. It’s evident that the hosts take pride in their property. You won’t regret your stay here!

Absolutely FABULOUS Penthouse Apartment!

I highly recommend staying at this lovely penthouse apartment. More beautiful and spacious then the pictures! We had a great girls weekend in Monroe! Plenty of room to sleep for the 4 of us. Nice memory foam mattress in the bedroom, big sofa bed and 2 additional roll away beds. Lots of bedding, towels and a very well stocked kitchen. The 2 swinging chairs were a hit with a wonderful view of the square. We enjoyed lunch at the pub next door and the music on the square Friday night! Lots of places to shop, have a snack or enjoy a cold beverage. Saturday we had breakfast at the café and ordered in Chinese food for supper with a movie on the big screen TV. We parked the car when we arrived and did not need to use it again until it was time to go home. It was awesome to be able to walk everywhere! We had planned to go to New Glarus but enjoyed the Penthouse so much we just hung around and relaxed. It was a great way to spend a weekend with friends!
