About this property

Be Still & Know, Luxury Apartment, Dog-friendly, Walk to Port, Shops, & Beach!

Welcome to Be Still and Know — your cozy, luxurious escape in the heart of charming Port Washington, Wisconsin!

Picture this: You’re just 4 blocks from the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan, in a beautifully restored 1865 Cream City Brick charmer that feels like a warm Midwest hug. Whether you’re craving a peaceful lakeside weekend, a fun family adventure, or a romantic getaway, this historic-yet-luxurious vacation rental delivers exactly what Midwest travelers dream of: comfort, character, and unforgettable memories.

Warmth, Luxury & Good Vibes
Walk in and feel instantly at home. Sink your toes into heated Spanish tile floors, warm up by the crackling wood-burning stove, or roast s’mores around the fire table on our spacious deck as the stars come out.
Pamper yourself in spa-like bathrooms with multi-spray walk-in showers and elegant Venetian marble. Crank up the baby grand piano and channel your inner Billy Joel (we won’t judge your singing). Then head to the gourmet kitchen — granite counters, high-end stainless appliances, and a 5-burner gas stove with air fryer — and whip up something delicious while everyone laughs around the table.

Perfectly Located for Midwest Magic
Step outside and you’re living the Port Washington dream:
* Stroll to sun-kissed beaches, the marina, and our iconic lighthouse
* Explore 4 adorable coffee shops, boutique shops, and waterfront restaurants
* Bike the Ozaukee Interurban Trail, hike nature preserves, or splash at Pirate’s Hollow Water Park
* Easy day trips to Milwaukee, Cedarburg, Sheboygan, and Kohler

This is classic Midwest charm at its best — friendly small-town vibes with big-lake beauty.

Thoughtfully Designed for Everyone
* King wrought-iron canopy bed with ensuite bath
* Queen wrought-iron sleigh bed
* Comfy leather pull-out queen sofa with memory foam mattress (sleeps up to 6 comfortably)
* Fully handicap accessible + pet-friendly (Fido gets the royal welcome too!)

We’ve got big-screen smart TVs with lightning-fast Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer with plant-based detergent, and non-toxic cleaners throughout. Even your morning coffee is covered with organic options, a Keurig, and a selection of teas.

From Old Dental Office to Storybook Getaway
This one-of-a-kind home was once Port's Hometown Dental office — now it’s a heart-warming vacation haven where Norman Rockwell charm meets modern luxury. Every detail was chosen to make you feel relaxed, refreshed, and completely spoiled.

Whether you’re here to watch the sunrise over Lake Michigan, explore the lighthouse, or simply slow down and be still, this is the Midwest escape you’ve been looking for.

My stay in Port Washington was absolutely amazing! The house was incredibly comfortable, and the beds were some of the best I’ve ever slept in. The entire home was beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully put together.Everything was conveniently located and easy to get to, making the stay even more enjoyable. The owner was extremely helpful, kind, and responsive, which made the experience stress-free.The bathroom was stunning and so relaxing—it truly felt like a spa retreat. Every detail of this home made our stay special. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would!

The home was superior! First off the furniture was very very comfortable. The beds were wonderful. Including the pull out couch. Our host greeted us and shared the house's history. Plus, we were invited to see the upper unit. Top-notch all the way around.
Huge bathroom in master bedroom. Soaking tub was a true luxury.
Excellent living space in the living room. An electric fireplace added to  the quality experience. Plus a free standing wood burner!

Easter Get Away

We had a delightful stay. The property is very well maintained and exuded Easter charm. The proprietor was present for check-in and communicated just the right amount by text to make check-in and check-out seamless. The property is within walking distance of shops and restaurants and the port.

We loved everything about the apartment: beautiful, clean, comfortable, showers fantastic, amenities plentiful. Having stayed in lots of vacation rentals over the years, this one is right on top of our list of favorites. We really appreciated the owner taking into consideration the bad winter weather and allowing us to amend our stay--definitely a bonus. The Christmas tree was lit, Christmas music was playing, and the water bowl was filled for Francis the miniature Schnauzer. Next time we will stay longer and make use of the well-stocked kitchen, too. Loved it!
