About this house rental
This property is NOT lakefront. We are conveniently located between Lakes Michigan and Winnebago. I apologize for any misconception.
This 100 year old 1800 SF home is yours to enjoy. Whether coming for a Packer game (Lambeau Field), visiting a WW II submarine (Maritime Museum, Manitowoc), golfing at one of the 25 golf courses in the area, a history buff (Old Wade House), or a car racing fan (Road America), there is plenty to do in "Small Town, USA".
OR just relax, cook your own meals in the well appointed kitchen, enjoy a bonfire outside, or the wood stove inside. There are plenty of board games, puzzles, and cards also! Perhaps the deep claw foot tub beckons you for a de-stressing soak!? The Epsom salts, baking soda, and essential lavender oil is all provided.
All sheets, towels, and linens are provided. There is service (dishes, silverware, glassware) for 10+; a number of pots and pans; pizza stone; cookie sheets; sharp knives, utensils; cutting boards....but no TV !
Every rental party receives their own access code(the last 4 digits of the phone used for this reservation.)so there is plenty of privacy. But we are only a phone call away!
Come and play, relax, rejuvenate.

This was the only option I could find in the area to accommodate our 10 person group in a single home, so I wasnt too picky. I was VERY happy with this place! It is as advertised and even better. Ceilings are TALL and there was a LOT of space for kids to play. Thank you!

The house was pleasant and quiet. Being an older house makes it difficult to get the house cool enough upstairs while not freezing out the down stairs.
2 things I would change. 1, the entry lock. The keypad entry is great, but not with the additional hassle of the 2nd knob, a keypad deadbolt would be better. 2, I would get rid of the throw rug in the kitchen. Tripped on this multiple times per day.
Would be nice to have access to laundry. No TV was not a big deal. It would also be good if the upstairs bathroom had a shower. Overall, a nice older home. We stayed for three nights during Airventure. I would stay again, I would just bring a few things of my own to help out (more fans, and maybe a large modern nonstick skillet, cast iron is nice, but can be a pain too).

Had a great time on our youth trip. Lot's of hiking all around and a great set up. There isn't a TV/DVD which would have been good to know in advance but is FAR from being a deal breaker. Would stay here again.

Mary was a wonderful host. The home was very clean. The little touches such as Epson salt for the tub, night lights, and toothbrush holders were very helpful. It was in a quiet neighborhood and in a good location.

This beautiful old house was wonderful for our family. It had plenty of space for all of us to have our own rooms and the living areas were comfortable. There are a lot of books, games and music provided if it rains (which it did). Mary responded quickly when we had questions; many great ideas on things to do in the area. Overall, this was a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

We loved the location of Just Like Grandma’s in the quiet little town of New Holstein between
Lake Winnebago and Lake Michigan. This gave us access to beautiful country drives as our
family came together from three different mid-west states. With the Toasty Oven Bake Shoppe
and the LaClare Family Creamery only minutes away, our family enjoyed a variety of fresh
Amish baked goods and delicious goat cheese. This wonderful two-story house is listed as
being over 100 years old and the beautiful craftsmanship inside proves it. Just like staying at
your grandma’s house, the floor would always let you know where everyone was hiding, but it
also gave us plenty of room to stretch out and relax. There were definitely enough beds to sleep
9, but in this style of old house, there are vents in the bottom of the walls that would allow air to
flow throughout the house. Unfortunately, if you have an uncle who is a chainsaw champion in
his sleep, you get to share in his excitement when he wins the competition several times a night.
Oh, the memories we made on this trip. There are two separate bathrooms, one upstairs and
one downstairs. The antique deep claw foot tub upstairs would be great for giving young kids
baths, but no one in our family was under 20 so we all shared the beautifully remodeled shower
downstairs. Like with any old house, the bathroom doors didn’t always close, but the owner had
door stops inside the bathrooms to keep from having to slam any doors. With only a few towels
in each bathroom, we were given directions to the local laundry mat since we had the house for
a full week. When we first arrived we reviewed the detailed list of do’s and dont’s on the
refegerator that included the off-limits areas where the washer and dryer were located. This list
was reiterated on the numerous visits we received from both the homeowners while we were
there. I am not sure if was the multiple motorcycles we arrived on or if it was our unique family
interaction, but visits from the home owner on 3 separate days seemed excessive. There was a
beautiful china cabinet in the dining room full of dishes, but like at grandma’s house, we were all
afraid to use them. Instead, we decided to purchase paper plates since recycling and
environmental protection were high on the do’s list and mentioned several times in our visits
from Mrs. Mary. The paper plates made it easier for clean up since the dishwasher was not fully
functional. Like most families, we took turns doing t

The house fit our needs perfectly. The four of us enjoyed the spacious main floor and each bedroom was more than adequate. The kitchen and dining room is fully furnished, just add food and go! We only had time to use the fire pit one night but it sure is a great feature. The hostess even supplies the wood. The home has many board games for relaxing. Each bathroom is fully stocked, so if you forget anything, you're all set. Thank you so much for the dessert you made for our arrival; what a thoughtful gesture. Would we stay again? YES!

We came to town for a wedding at Millhome Supper Club that we were in and honestly were not at the house much other than to sleep. It served its purpose for us and we did not have to drive as far or spend as much as we would have at a hotel.

This lovely hundred-year-old house was a beautiful Retreat for our family to spend time together, playing games, sitting by the wood burning stove and cooking meals! We really enjoyed our time there!

This property is as stated a very old home. Linens are dried on a clothes line so towels are not dryer soft. The home is well cared for inside and the beds were comfortable. Overall we had a pleasant stay with 4 adults 2 children even with no tv or internet.
