Thank you for choosing to stay with me. You and your family were delightful. Thank you for leaving the house so neat and tidy - you would never know a large family had been here!😁
I kept being delighted by the thought put into hosting by the owner! From the little welcome snacks to the coffee available to the already configured streaming profiles, everything was super cozy and homey. Great communication and lovely space.

Thanks Nick! I’m so glad you enjoyed your visit, it was my pleasure to be your host. Thank you for choosing to stay with me.
Everything went really well with the stay, the host was extremely accommodating. Our only issue was with parking--it's street parking and with littles, it could be difficult on a weekend.

Thank you! I’m glad you had a great weekend and good family time. It was too bad there was a construction dumpster taking up parking over the weekend for a roof project a couple of houses down. I’m sorry that caused challenges for you upon arrival.
Laurie was an excellent host and had the house stocked with everything we could need, including sound machines and a crib for our baby. The location is very walkable with a nice little café at the corner. We’d definitely stay again if we visit Shorewood again.

I’m so glad that you and your family had such a good weekend! Thank you for choosing to stay with me.
The owner was very responsive to messages and was very helpful with questions we had. The location was great for our stay for Summerfest. It was a short Lift ride to the festival but also within walking distance of a café and restaurants.

Clean and spacious home with plenty of opportunities nearby for food and recreation. Nice neighborhood as well, but parking can be a little challenging. Owner communication was excellent with our questions and concerns.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. I would love to host you again.
This house was perfect for our group of 4. We originally had 5, which would have worked too! Very comfortable home to retire to in the evenings. Cute neighborhood. Lake Michigan is very close for swimming. Lots of good restaurants nearby. The beds were very comfortable. The House was very available and responsive. Would definitely recommend!

Thank you for staying with me. It was so nice to have you and your family as guests. I would love to have you back if plans bring you to the Milwaukee area again.
I truly cannot say enough good about Laurie as a host and human. The location is everything I dreamed of on tree lined streets and near the Jazz Estate on the East side. We found all of the beds and blankets super cozy and the shower was excellent. Each room is thoughtfully laid out, spacious and exceptionally clean. The kitchen has every thing you can dream of for meal making. Laurie was thoughtful, welcoming and helpful when we had any confusion. Quality all the way around. We adored our stay here and so did the fur baby. A GEM! Thank you for providing such quality Laurie!

Thank you for your kind words (and the flowers and the candy!) It was my pleasure to host you and your guests, and adorable Twig too!! I look forward to your next stay with me.
This home was so amazing for myself and 3 of my fishing buddies! Spacious living quarters, beautiful bedrooms, highly convenient location, fully functional kitchen with all the amenities you could ask for!We battled 4 tough fishing days that saw temperatures drop to -21, so it was definitely nice to have a nice home to come back to!The true highlight of the stay was our host, Laurie! Great communication, very accommodating, very good recommendations, super personable and definitely made sure we felt comfortable during our stay!If you’re looking for a place to stay during your visit to SE Wisconsin/ Milwaukee, this is it! 10 out of 10 recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Laurie McCullough-Benner
I am from Michigan originally, but have lived throughout the midwest in Southern Illinois, Michigan, and the Dayton Ohio area.
I retired from healthcare administration earlier this year after more than 30 years as a nursing home administrator. Years ago I also owned a bookstore with a coffee shop. This carries over into a love for coffee, books and reading groups to this day.
My younger son and his wife live in the Milwaukee area and my eldest son, his wife, and daughter live in Munich, Germany. I moved to Shorewood in July 2022. This is the third time in my life that I have lived in the Milwaukee area. I will never tire of being so close to Lake Michigan and its beauty. I love that Milwaukee is such a vibrant community.
I love playing tennis. I have recently picked up pickleball. I like to walk and run in the neighborhood and at the lakefront. Atwater Park which is just a few blocks away has several flights of steps that provide a great workout too.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood is the perfect balance between a quiet residential setting and nearby urban amenities. It is a few blocks from Atwater Park with a lovely sandy beach, playgrounds, and a beautiful view. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is just a 2 minute drive or .7 mile walk south. It is a quick walk to restaurants, bars, cafes, nail and hair salons, parks, and shopping.
What makes this property unique
Ideal for families or small groups, the property offers a cozy, well-appointed interior with multiple common areas and a welcoming, homey atmosphere.
The kitchen is fully equipped allowing you to enjoy all of the wonderful foods the Milwaukee area has to offer without having to eat out for every meal.
The home is perfect for extended stays as well. There is a guest laundry. Perfect for stays during home renovation, relocation, and travel for work - travel nurses, construction, projects, etc.
Pets are welcome.
As a host I am committed to making your stay amazing. I will do my best to anticipate your needs and encourage you to let me know how I can help you to make the most of your stay.
