About this property

House in Quaint Neighborhood near Downtown Milwaukee Pet-Friendly!

The Fonz, Laverne & Shirley!
Happy Days MKE is located in a tidy, safe, quiet neighborhood 3 min - AMF; 12 - Fiserv Forum, and 5 - Petit.
Concerts, Zoo, State Fair, golfing, Brewer's Baseball Stadium, skating, curling, shops, pubs, & restaurants (within 3-12 min).
The Happy Days House is great for a medium-sized group or comfortable for 1 or 2. This spacious (13Ksq ft) beautiful remodel has a 50's era cottage feel where Fonzie and the gang are remembered like old family friends.

This corner lot house on a hill is set in a quiet Milwaukee neighborhood. You'll love the porch where you might have your morning coffee and look out down the beautiful mature tree-lined streets.

As you enter you’ll go through the well-loved backyard to the back door and begin your experience at our cottage-like home. Enjoy the outdoor dining table, fire-pit, and Bar-B-Que grill and hot-tub!

Inside on the first floor, you have the kitchen, dining room, and living room which are open and connected. This area is perfect for people to gather, and relax, yet it has a cozy feel.

The kitchen is large and well-appointed with everything you might need for coffee and cooking. You can easily seat 8 in the dining room (6 at the table and 2 at the peninsula). There is also a large window seat just beyond the dining room table for extra seating.

The kitchen's peninsula counter and bar stools are a great place to set set up when remote working. That's what I like to do when I'm there.

The living room has a queen-sized pull-out bed with a beautiful fireplace anchoring the space and original leaded glass windows.

You have one full bedroom on the first floor, a twin daybed & trundle.

Upstairs, you’ll find the bathroom.
To the right is the queen master bedroom.
Opposite the hallway, you’ll find the bunks (twin over and under full).
Both of these rooms have long walk-in closets.
Down the hallway, you’ll find a fourth bedroom with a twin bed.

Please note:
-We take extra care with cleaning using hot water to sanitize all sheets; we thoroughly clean the bathroom and all other surfaces.

-The house is not wheelchair accessible and has lots of stairs. It could be difficult for an elderly person or someone physically challenged.
Guest access
You will have access to all of the house except for the second bonus room that is kept for supplies. The back shed will also be locked. You will have self-check-in.
Instructions will follow upon booking.
Other things to note
This house is on a hill. You will have a flight of stairs to ascend before reaching the ground level of the house. Please be mindful of your footing. The bathroom is on the second floor. The house is not accessible for those who have difficulty ascending.

Lovely, Cozy, Home Away From Home!

This home was so welcoming and easy to stay at! Without fuss, I cooked up groceries we bought and walked the dog to a near by park. After dinner we took a short drive to play darts and were welcomed by the neighborhood bar as if we were locals. When my husband snored too loud, the additional guest rooms were just as comfortable as the master. The sweet sitcom decor reminds you to appreciate the history you can still feel in the home; the backyard was wonderful and secure; the kitchen made sense and was easy to work in - can't wait to come back when it's warmer!

Peaceful relaxing and comfortable

The owner of this house really has guests comfort at the forefront of this VRBO property. The house was beautifully decorated but beyond that it has so many "extras" that I would never have expected, snacks, bottled water, coffee, beverages in the fridge etc.. I thought that generally if It I needed it, it was provided. Great place to stay.

Good for the night - great communication

A nice place to stay. The listing had 1.5 listed, but it is just 1. Wasn't an issue for me or those who came with me. It was clean and spacious. Couldn't find extra paper towels and the toilet paper was 1-ply, so recommend bringing your own.

Surprises

The location is great for access to American Family Field and the owners are very responsive. The check in time sent by VRBO was 3 but the owner sent a time of 4. Check out time by the owner was an hour earlier than VRBO. There was surveillance if you used some of the amenities which was unexpected and uncomfortable. The cleaning fee was excessive given all the housekeeping that was expected before checkout and the lack of attention to detail to some cleaning on arrival. The house had a lot of fun Happy Days pictures but the decor (especially the bathroom) is not reminiscent of the Happy Days era-- except for maybe the single ply toilet paper. The parking situation was inconvenient and it would have been better if the option was presented of the owners taking care of the requirements.

About the host

Hosted by Christine

Host profile image
Hello,
I'm a big fan of our city.
When I was a young adult in the 90s, I traveled a lot. And when I mentioned my hometown, Milwaukee, people would often reference the pop shows Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley, hence the theme.
I hope you enjoy the home as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Happy Days House is a corner lot on a tree lined street / neighborhood setting on a hill with a great porch to enjoy. But its central location was key!
Tucked away from the business of downtown, it’s only blocks from the highway entrance making it super convenient to be at any of the many Milwaukee destinations. Guest can quickly be at American Family Field, the Summerfest grounds, the State Fair Park, Froedtert Hospital/MCW, the VA, the Zoo, Domes, Marquette University, UWM, lakefront areas, downtown- Foserv Forum, the Third Ward, Milwaukee Marketplace, and the RiverWalk with our famous Bronze Fonz.

What makes this property unique

The Happy Days theme is uniquely Milwaukee. However, the theme is subtle. The cast are arranged on tables and bookshelves like beloved family photos. Overall, the house is attractive for anyone familiar with those characters or not.

It's a country cottage decor with comfortable beds/bedrooms and living spaces. It has a full kitchen with all you might need to cook Thanksgiving dinner, for example. I've also added and extra touches for your convenience.
The front porch is great for morning coffee three seasons of the year. The fenced-in back yard with the fire-pit and bar-b-que area are wonderful for your summer outdoor cooking and storytelling.
It feels like your second country home in a Milwaukee neighborhood.
