About this property
Vintage Bayview Heaven on the Park w/Secret Lounge
Our three bedroom park-side condo in a beautiful and historic renovated home is unique, peaceful, and right by everything Bayview has to offer.
Secret Vintage Lounge downstairs with antiques from all over the world will be the perfect unique space - there is nothing else like this in Milwaukee! Be careful as you descend as the stairs are all original and very steep!
This first floor condo has a perfect proximity to South Shore Park on Lake Michigan and the best areas in Bayview.
Vintage antique styling meets modern amenities with Memory-Foam mattresses, toilets with heated seats and bidets, Reverse Osmosis drinking water system, Nespresso coffee maker, natural gas fireplace.
Our park-facing front porch deck offers space to enjoy coffee or tea in the morning while taking in the scenic park views, while the unit itself is a comfortable 1895 beauty, and provides a unique style and experience that is all your own while you stay. Appointed with almost all exclusively unique vintage items, every furnishing was hand selected with care and we hope to offer more special details than typical hosts with unique touches throughout the entire place.
The main floor comprises the spacious Living Room, large kitchen, dining area, three bedrooms and the bathroom, with the hidden lounge below the unit in the fieldstone-structure basement, down a steep flight of carpeted stairs.
Vivacious Secret Victorian Lounge: an original 1895 vintage lounge setting situated in the basement of the unit, finished with many unique and period pieces, will be a perfect setting to relax and enjoy a N/A spritzer or convivial spirit with friends and family; make yourselves at home in the uniquely styled space, with period pieces from all around the world in this special, hidden space; a true Milwaukee gem.
Guests have access to the entire space, however the back of the home is not part of the unit and is reserved for the carriage house in the rear. Rear exit is for emergency usage only.
Highly available, only as needed- we will provide our phone numbers and email in case of emergencies, but non-emergencies please use the Airbnb messenger.
On Saturdays in season there is a weekly farmer's market directly across the street as well with fresh organic goods and produce, also across the street in South Shore Park.
Bay View is a hip and eclectic neighborhood popular with families and young professionals. Home to one of the city’s most popular bar districts, it’s also a hotbed of local art and creativity with gallery nights, a thriving farmers market which is just 100' from our front door and one of the city's most beloved weekly concert series in Humboldt Park during the spring and summer. You'll find plenty of opportunities to get outdoors on lakefront trails or at beer gardens in neighborhood parks.
Walk everywhere from the place, whether a short stroll along Lake Michigan or the park across the street, there are many options including excellent restaurants, vintage shopping, bars, coffee shops or neighborhood gathering places to explore all within an easy walk.
There is a great walking trail along Lake Michigan, the Oak Leaf Trail which goes down right next to the water and the beach areas at South Shore Park. Everything is only blocks away, well within walking distance or a 1-4 minute Uber.
Great neighborhood, many walking distance restaurants, bars and things to do.

The home has charm and personality in spades, and the lakeside location couldn’t be better. The kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom were well appointed, and it’s clear a lot of thought went into the amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the secret lounge! I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time we’re visiting the area.
Fun three days in this charming home. One of the most beautiful locations we have stayed at with a lovely park and the Lake Michigan shoreline right across the street.The Bayview Heaven was super clean, well stocked and had a great bathroom. Very comfy bed. The neighborhood was gorgeous and had many fun restaurants. We really enjoyed the beer garden in the South Shore Park across the street.
Really nice accommodations and convenient location. The Saturday farmers market was right across the street: great to walk around, but wasn’t able to park nearby until well after it wrapped up (noon). Would stay at this property again. Thanks!
What a uniquely decorated place that had everything we needed. We enjoyed our stay here across from a lakefront park. The porch was our go-to favorite. Lots of good restaurants within a short drive.
The house was amazing. Location was absolutely perfect across the street from a park walkable to the lake and beer garden! Farmers market on Saturday morning was an added plus!!
Fantastic location, clean, well appointed with comfortable beds. Beautifully decorated and has a very nice porch to relax and enjoy the views. Can’t beat the location to get around Milwaukee. Would highly recommend.
This is an interesting and comfortable house with all the amenities you would want. The fun basement space was a great place to relax and share a glass of wine. We took advantage of the park across the street and walking paths every morning and evening. It is located in a very safe and walkable neighborhood - I would recommend, and plan to book again in the future.
Vintage Bayview Heaven on the Park w/Secret Lounge
This is a fun and interesting place to stay! The location is excellent across from the lake with a large park and very safe area. The house has a beautiful kitchen and updated bathroom with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The living room and bedrooms are full of fun and interesting decor. The beds were very comfortable and I slept great! It was a very warm weekend but the home was very comfortable and very welcoming when we walked through the door. The big surprise is downstairs and very fun and guaranteed you will remember this place. It is very well laid out and very relaxing. I would recommend this place if you looking for a fun and unique stay!
Wonderful, unique place! The pics don’t do it justice!
When I book a VRBO or a hotel room, I always worry that I’ll arrive and be disappointed. Maybe it won’t be clean or up-to-date, or the bed will be uncomfortable, or it will be noisy or the parking sketchy. This Bay View condo did NOT disappoint! Here are a few reasons:
1. Clear and friendly communication from the host, Adam.
2. In a quiet, neatly-manicured neighborhood.
3. A few steps from a large dog-friendly park!
4. 2-block walk through the park to Lake Michigan with a beach and a view of the Milwaukee skyline!
5. Super clean and tidy.
6. Interesting (we would even say exciting!) furnishings. A well-curated, mcm/Victorian/African eclectic blend. It is not overdone or crowded.
7. Beds extremely comfortable tempur pedics. Pillows super comfy as well.
8. Quality window treatments for privacy and a darkened room in which to sleep.
9. Super nice that there is an Nespresso machine and assortment of pods ready to go for that first morning.
10. You must see the fabulous, moody lounge to believe it! I used to tour in an alternative rock band and it reminded me of some of the private swanky backrooms reserved for the musicians and VIPs. Really big too! I counted seating for 22.
There are many more positives I could add to this review (like the convenient well-lit parking), but I think you get the idea. This is a quality VRBO that we give a ringing endorsement!
