10/10 LOVED this stay! We will book this again and again! This was our first trip back to WI after moving. Being familiar with the area, I couldn’t believe we got so lucky. The apartment is so cozy with modern decor and all the amenities you need (plus some!!). Walkable to everything you might enjoy. The lake was stunning, historic homes, bourbon bars, wine bars, fantastic Italian food at Bella Gusto and we highly recommend the new Newport 1875. It’s fine dining with a fun history!

This was our third stay at The Blue Bell and we’ve already booked our next stay! It’s a perfect location, right next to downtown Oconomowoc, and we love all the historic charm and modern amenities. Highly recommend this place!

Great place! Just so you are aware - it is the 2nd and 3rd floor so quite a few stairs to the 3rd floor where the bedrooms are if you have a lot of luggage! The rooms were very nice and clean. Having the trundle bed was great for our kids. Lots of extra amenities like toiletries! Perfect place. Great location - walkable to downtown. Also an awesome coffee setup. I would definitely stay again!

This house exceeded our expectations! The beds are ridiculously comfortable. The house, although shared by other tenants, was incredibly quiet and peaceful. We knew there were other people around but we didn’t hear anything. It is an old house that has been renovated and we found the updates to be perfect as to avoid losing the Victorian charm. The little book nook was so unique! The location was great and very close to restaurants and shopping. We loved our stay and highly recommend this airbnb.
