We have the ultimate family vacation destination in SE Wisconsin. If you are a family of 4-6, looking for a great vacation location, we hope you'll think about staying at our place. Located in Racine, Wisconsin, on the shores of scenic Lake Michigan. Right across the street from North Beach, a top-4 freshwater beach in the Midwest, according to USA Today. This three-bedroom home originally built i
n 1857 has a lot of character and charm. Originally the Bucket of Blood Tavern on Main Street, the building was moved to Michigan Blvd in the 1920s and turned into a residence by a British Naval Captain. It has been renovated many times since then, but still retains some old features, like the (now decorative) wood burning stove and chimney in the living room. Otherwise completely modernized and very comfortable for groups of 4-8 people. Three bedrooms with comfortable sleeping for six, includes one queen, one full, and a twin daybed with trundle. A couch and futon are available for 2 more single sleepers. The views are stunning - you can enjoy lake views from the front porch and upper deck off the master bedroom. It is amazing, we love this home and wanted to make it available for a select few to discover our part of Wisconsin. We are located 4 short blocks from the Racine Zoo. A quaint, family friendly, very clean, social gathering spot. Also on the shores of Lake Michigan, it is the location of the Animal Crackers concert series, bi-weekly Wednesday night free music performances during the summer. It is also the site of the Annual Car, Truck and Bike Show (Aug 20, 2017). Spend a few days or a summer week lounging on the beach during the day, letting the kids play on the life-guarded beach. Get out on the water with your boat or take a fishing excursion out on the lake. Ride bikes along the lakefront bike path and check out some live music down at the beach oasis. For baseball fans, we are within 30 miles of Miller Park and only 75 miles to Wrigley Field in Chicago. In the evenings you can explore the nearby local restaurants and several new and established brewpubs. We can provide suggestions and make your reservations. This is our second home and we enjoy sharing with family and friends. Strict occupancy limit of eight people applies. We do not allow parties which would harm the property and irritate the neighbors. If you are a responsible adult with a family and want to enjoy this property, we'll welcome you. We ask an average of $250/night for a week stay during busy season. Please send me an email with any questions, I'll respond promptly.
