About this property

Steps from Downtown

You can walk to everything downtown! All the restaurants and bars, the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, the PAC, the art and history museums, Lawrence University, all the downtown events, and more. And if you're driving, you are only about a half hour from Green Bay or Oshkosh.

Just so you are aware, the house is located on a busier street with a railroad crossing nearby. But that also means that there are businesses nearby for your convience such as two restaurants across the street and many others within a couple of blocks.

Perfect location if you plan to wander College Avenue or attend the fine arts downtown. The backyard is charming and allowed us to sit amongst the flowers and catch up with our friends. The house was spotless and decorated nicely. We had dinner reservations at Lombardi's Steakhouse and it was only about a four/five block walk. The owner was excellent to work with and lived near by so they managed taking out the garbage and other things most VRBO properties ask the renter to do, so very cool.

Kentucky/Tennessee Family trip

It was a beautiful home set close to everything of interest. The claw foot tub was a huge bonus. All appliances and amenities were great. The only thing I would recommend is turning the front room into an actual bedroom with a bed for elderly that can’t do the stairs. Art and flowers were beautiful.

Great stay!

Beautiful house with plenty of space for our family Christmas gathering! It was spacious and well-stocked, making our stay very comfortable. The only minor drawback was the tight parking, but given the area, it’s understandable and not something easily changed.
