Grace Adventure House, walk to Port, Lake Michigan

I invite you to experience my spacious, peaceful and delightfully bright two bedroom Cream City Brick upper flat, only 4 blocks from the sparkling shores of Lake Michigan. You will find Grace Adventure House to be an escape from the pressures and busyness of your world where warmth and charm beckon you to enter into rest. Your place of retreat is furnished with Eastern European antiques from years of living overseas and is overflowing with character inside and out. We accept dogs only - sorry.

Large, light, and cozy open living and dining rooms call for nestling in with conversation and soul-filling activities. Games, art supplies, books provided. Well equipped kitchen for the most discriminating cook. As of June, 2021, the apartment has been updated and freshly remodeled, exposing some of the beautiful brick, adding more unique furniture pieces recommended by my dear friend and owner of Design Xchange in Hartland, WI, Katie Stuckey Guindon. If you enjoy the beauty of upscale furnishings as much as I do, you’ll want to stop in and browse. Oh, and tell Katie, “Dave sent me, and thank you for the beautiful remodeling and refurnishing you helped with at Grace Adventure House!”

Enjoy views (well, at least a sliver) of Lake Michigan from the front porch wicker chairs. Grill in the shared backyard. A 5-burner gas grill available for use, patio table and chairs, a fire pit, and a nice new deck!

I respect your desire for privacy and am committed to make your stay outstanding. I’m on the property and available to help in any way I can. I am on a continual quest to experience every beautiful, adventurous and nature-y spot in the area, and I will custom download them on you if you'd like.

Reminiscent of Door County or a Norman Rockwell painting, our delightful thriving fishing town of Port Washington is only a 5 minute walk away. You're sure to enjoy the
marina, quaint shops, scrumptious restaurants and bars, 4 cozy hometown coffee shops, 2 parks that jut out into the lake and a one-mile breakwater walk out to our very unique pillared lighthouse. For those who love outdoor activities, you won't be disappointed. The Ozaukee Interurban Bike Trail is one block away, Pirate's Hollow Outdoor Water Park is one block, 5 minute walk to two Lake Michigan beaches (the South Beach has a kayak/canoe launch), hiking galore including Sauk Creek Nature Preserve - 5 minute walk, Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve - 8 minutes by car, 379 acre Riveredge Nature Center - 15 minutes by car, and, our personal favorite, Harrington Beach State Park (complete with historic remains of a Lime Quarry Town alongside Lake Michigan and inland quarry lake with waterfalls) is 15 minutes by car.
Many historic cities are within a half hour drive and await your exploration. Cedarburg (15 minutes), Milwaukee (25 minutes) and Sheboygan and Kohler (30 minutes) have a full schedule of events and attractions all year round including Summer Fest, Kohler Design Center, and Kohler Art Center.

Walking is your first best option as you’ll be just 4 blocks from all the action downtown. Uber and Lyft are available as well.

I value your health and mine, therefore I use only non-toxic cleaners. I offer organic coffee (whole bean coffee with a grinder and French Press) and tea. For your added peace of mind and security, we have video surveillance covering the exterior of the premises.
***DOGS ONLY*** No Cats. Sorry. - - Be respectful. You must also acknowledge Pet(s) live on property - A friendly dog named Katie. Security Deposit - if you damage the home, you may be charged up to $250
- Quiet hours after 10pm
- Self-entry with keypad (we'll gladly greet you and help you get settled in if we're home at your time of arrival)
- No Smoking
- PROFILE PICTURE: Please upload a profile picture where we can identify you by sight. This is our only way of ensuring we let you in and not a stranger.
- ASK IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR ISSUE: We are often around, just ask if you need something or want to know something. We appreciate the opportunity to make things more comfortable for you. If we aren't here, just text. We'll point you in the right direction.

Even better than shown
This property was very clean, convenient and comfortable. I loved all of the little attentions to detail. The pictures don't convey how pretty everything is. The apartment is light-filled and so roomy. Fall is a wonderful time to visit and enjoy all of the colors.

Port stay
The property was clean and well stocked. The many windows make it so bright. The property was updated throughout and communication with owners was superb. Beautiful older home. Location was perfect for downtown adventures & walks on the beach. Bike path is so close. It is located on a busy street so has some traffic noise but nights were more quiet

Honesty is Refreshing!
This property lives up to its photographs and description! No "fish eye" lens views! Spacious lodging with room to walk around each bed, table, furniture. Lodging is very secure with locking systems in place. We were greeted warmly by Janice who explained a variety of aspects of the property including locking/unlocking, and local eateries. Time and talent have worked together to create a stylish, but not stuffy lodging spot. Kitchen is the best supplied we've ever experienced. Thank you so very much, Janice and Dave! Happy Trails to all!

Everything was squeaky clean, comfortable and cozy. Lots of thoughtful touches made our stay at this vintage house very enjoyable. The neighborhood was quiet, safe and within walking distance of Rotary Park at the port, south beach and the historic downtown area. Only a short drive to Cedarburg, Grafton and Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would return to this property without a doubt!

Lovely place in a great location!
We really enjoyed our stay at Grace Adventure House! A short walk to shops and restaurants, the waterfront parks and the marina. The apartment was well appointed and the host (Janice) quickly responded when we had a question. We’d love to return to this pet friendly place again!

Wow! Wow! Wow!
What a gem! Dave and Janice were super host. Always there if we needed them. The upstairs apartment was very clean and had everything we needed and more. An awesome location. We walked everywhere. From the bike trail, to downtown, to the marina, to the south beach, and Toucan’s for custard ice cream. Enjoyed the backyard fire pit to relax in the evening. Will definitely be back!

We just had a enjoyable time at Grace house. Very clean, no surprises and the hosts were awesome. Very close to downtown Port Washington, which makes for some nice walks. If we need to stay in Port again, this will be the first place we look up!
