Wonderful Stay at Blue Belle

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Belle. It was very nicely decorated, it had all the amenities we could have hoped for, and the communication with Jason & Melissa was great. The location was also great as we were able to walk right to the downtown area, restaurants, and lakes. Thank you for having us Jason & Melissa

Beautiful property in a great town!

We were so pleased with this property! It was tastefully decorated and everything was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, a quick drive to downtown and very accessible to the freeway. The kitchen was very well equipped and we weren't in want for any amenity. We would recommend this property to our family and friends!

VRBO gem

The Blue Bell was a lovely historic home a short walk from downtown Oconomowoc. The property has lots of character and has been renovated to retain its charm and also have the conveniences travelers desire. Plenty of room to relax and also working areas for remote workers. The hosts were very responsive. The kitchen, bathrooms, and coffee nook were all well stocked. Would highly recommend this property and these hosts!

Lovely home

Our group of six had a wonderful time in this large and clean home. It’s bigger and nicer than it looks in the pictures even. It was very well appointed with coffee fixings and lots of good cooking tools, wine glasses, etc. everyone thought it was cute for our girls weekend, and was nice and walkable to downtown yet still quiet and comfortable

Fantastic home

Absolutely fantastic stay and would love to stay here again. The property is perfect and has everything you think you may need. We were only 3 adults but you could comfortably fit more than that. We were in the area for bike races at Trek headquarters, and it was so nice to have a great kitchen to cook meals in. The beds were comfortable and loved how cozy each room felt. Easy instructions for check in/out as well. We will definitely look here first next year if we come back to this race!

Golf Trip

My father and I stayed at the Blue Belle for 3 nights while on a golf trip playing The Club at Lac La Belle golf course. We were extremely happy with the property and the hosts. We could not have had a better time and the place was exactly as advertised. We would absolutely stay here again. We were only a short walk to downtown and the lake which was great. I also would highly recommend going to dinner at the Italian restaurant Lago Su Bella which was about 4 blocks away. The view of the lake from the restaurant was great and the Ricotta Gnocchi was unbelievable.

Everything was as shown in the listing. It was very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. There were thoughtful touches throughout, and the bedrooms were very unique. Jason communicated everything we needed to know in a timely manner, and check-in/check-out was a breeze. Oconomowoc is a cool town with beautiful neighborhoods, a good amount of outdoor activities and a nice selection of shops and restaurants. What a great place to visit!

Unbelievable stay!

I've rented a lot of Vrbo type properties over the years and this is by far the best I've ever been to. The attention to detail, the wonderful styling, a million little loving touches put in… It's obvious that the hosts care deeply and have put every single but of expert hospitality into this rental. I've never felt more at home, and it's in a beautiful area to boot! When I couldn't find coffee, I asked the host about it and almost immediately a bag of organic coffee was delivered outside of our door. Incredible! I couldn't recommend this place more highly and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Blue Bell Heaven

We were here to celebrate the Life of my nephew, Andy Flick. This is where Andy grew up and it was a most fitting place for his final resting. The comfortable charm of the Blue Bell made it the perfect place to stay The beds were comfortable, the place was immaculate and the hosts go overboard with small touches. I would recommend the Blue Bell to everyone and intend to return one day for a longer time and just for the shear pleasure. Everything is so close……fun good restaurants, a short walk to the lake……just an all around perfect place to stay. They have taken an attic and made it a cozy modern home that makes you want to just curl up in one of the “reading nooks” with one of the many good books they provide. Even the neighbors were extremely friendly and welcoming. Checking in and out was a breeze. The owners were immediately responsive to any questions, before our visit and during. I hope they don’t change one thing about the place before I get back.
