Summary: My family stayed here to attend a nearby wedding. The accommodations were great, the hosts welcoming and responsive. The restoration of the property has been done with both an eye to history and a modern sensibility. My only regret is that with all the wedding activities we weren’t able to spend as much time enjoying the property as we would have liked. A great, relaxing place to stay.

Summary: The property was beautiful and conveniently located for our needs. The home was incredible; well updated, impeccably maintained, and amenity-packed to make our group comfortable. We'll certainly look to rent here again for future races. Thank you, Suzanne and Charlie. It was a great stay.

Summary: This was an amazing experience! None of us had ever stayed on a farm beforehand. But I’m hooked now lol! Sue, and Charlie were incredible hosts, we received a very warm welcome, their availability is ever present, and the place was dreamy. The pictures can’t tell the full story, you absolutely have to visit this wonderful property! A perfect blend of antiquity, mixed with just the right amount of modern amenities !We will definitely be back! Sue, and Charlie… THANK YOU for an unforgettable experience! Anthony C.

Summary: I cannot say enough great things about Charlie and Suzanne. First off, their home is beautiful and is situated in serene rural Wisconsin farmland. The outdoor area is even more lovely than the pictures show, including scenic lights in the farmhand house and plenty of fun games and space for activities. Our group really enjoyed playing with their provided croquet set, tossing a frisbee in the back yard, and grilling out back at sunset. The beds were comfortable and house was very clean and nicely decorated. On the hospitality side, Charlie went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable. Upon arrival, Charlie provided a recommendations for places to eat, drink, and golf nearby. They were very attentive via messaging and were accommodating to our variety of questions and requests. Also, while we were staying at the house, a bad storm knocked out the power; unfortunate, but our of their control. Not only did Charlie reach out to check on us, but he also drove over first thing the next morning to bring us spare water, hook the house up to generator power, and give us an update on when he was told the power would return. Charlie and Suzanne also prepared a small arrival welcome package for our group with snacks and confections from a local eatery. If you are looking for a place to stay away from the big city (but still very drivable to downtown MKE - about a half hour) with great hosts and fantastic amenities, look no further than The Historic Johnston Home!
