It's inside a gazebo so no worry about bugs- and they had music playing to set the mood (some Dean Martin!) The fireplace inside was ready to light, but since we had such great weather, we didn't use it. The jacuzzi tub is a fantastic place to relax after sitting out by the fire. They provided so many touches to make it a fabulous stay-- chocolate, toothbrushes, bubblebath, even flowers! We opted for brunch and received a HUGE tray of food-- bread, muffins, fruit, sausage, cheese, juice. We didn't see many of the animals but heard the rooster :) The history of the building is awesome, too. But I won't share it here- since you should go find out for yourself! In a way, I didn't want to share this review because I want to keep this place all to myself-- but they deserve to get more awesome guests! Go here. You will not regret it.

They have a carriage house on site that you can rent on airbnb which would certainly make for a charming stay with such a gorgeous environment laying mere feet away. They host an array of events, from weddings to wine tastings to classes (a gorgeous spot for a wedding with a smaller guest list--this isn't your 400 person wedding sorta spot). For anyone into horticulture or simply looking for ideas to improve your own garden space, you can't help but leave here inspired. An absolute gem in Milwaukee!

The house itself is very architecturally interesting with high molded ceilings and all original fireplaces. It's decorated to look as close to the original as possible. We came as part of #Doorsopenmilwaukee. My daughter was volunteering here later this day. The gardens have an instant peace feeling about them. It's a touch of tranquil in the busy surrounding Downtown. I loved looking at all of the different fauna and flowers. I only wish they had the signs saying what type of plant it was. There are a series of paths, a few fountains, and some nice areas where you can relax. They rent out the gardens for parties and weddings. There was a separate carriage house that has bathrooms and facilities to get dressed for events. I am sorry I didn't know about this place sooner. It's really beautiful!

We were there for our wedding night and the day before and also spent time in their spa the morning after. The morning of our wedding we went out onto the private balcony overlooking the forest full of wildlife and beautiful bird calls, we sat in the chairs and said our private vows to each other. It made our day so relaxing and easy and everyone staying there was so sweet and happy for us. The spa was super cool! They also have this foot massager that was so nice for the morning after because my feet were hurting!! The hot tub was the best but the sauna and steamroom were also so relaxing. Overall this place is great and we saw all types of people staying there, an anniversary trip, a babymoon, not just for your wedding. But it was super romantic. We will be back for our anniversary:)

When I travel, I generally look for B&Bs because I have done corporate america hotels. I have had many, great expwriences with B&Bs, and Air B&Bs. Many of the corporate hotels are overpriced with horrible/terrible food options (complimentory breakfast? It's worked into that final bill). B&Bs have a niche in persoanlization and care, equating to better food to eat, very competative pricing, and increased safety. Tina and Dean made this stay wonderful!!!!! There were both very attentive and respectful for privacy and timing. The reasons I stayed at this Inn were its location, close to Genoa City and by the lake (little did I know, but you can ask for kayaks or canoe options to use the lake). Though I did not use the lake nor its trails, I know these are options for my next summer getaway. Second, the price and dates were competitive and open. I was pleasantly surprised with two day's worth of steak and eggs for breakfast! Again, because it was not a hotel- Genoa City has "sad" options- it was super quiet and peaceful. The knowledge that I won't be woken by cleaning crews, screaming kids, nor immature adults slamming doors made my stay even better and HIGHER quality. And that is truly what the Inn at Lake Elizabeth and Tina and Dean offer: Quality. I highly recommend you pass up on a hotel and direct yourself to experience that which many are missing: quality.

Their beautiful attired bedrooms, dining rooms and remaining areas are beautifully decorated. We were treated to two delicious breakfasts. In addition to their exquisite interior, their outside gardens with a wonderful pergola and its privacy are a perfect getaway to enjoy a bottle of your favorite wine, which they have refrigerated in case you run out. We visit Milwaukee regularly to go to the Brewer baseball games and my wife and I always stay at the Shuster Inn. Rick offers a shuttle service to take you and pick you up to the Brewer ballpark - what other B&B's offer that feature? If anyone has to stay in Milwaukee while traveling, we strongly recommend the Shuster B&B Inn!! Gary & Judy Koy

NOT family-friendly. In fact, not friendly AT ALL. My…read moresister and I started a Christmas tradition a few years ago of taking our daughters (ages 6 and 7) to afternoon tea. This year we decided to try Low Tea at the Schuster Mansion. I truly wish I had read the reviews beforehand, because we would not have booked -- and after our visit, I now understand why so many others had similar experiences. I noticed from those reviews, the owner seems to respond by gaslighting those who gave negative reviews- very unprofessional behavior. But here's our story anyways. From the moment we walked in, the tone was unwelcoming. The owner immediately made it clear that children were not really wanted there, repeatedly saying that "this is for adults" and that the girls would need to "act like adults." She even told them they should feel lucky to be allowed there at all. When my daughter simply looked at a bowl of candy near the entrance, she was sharply told that the candy was only for adults. Expecting young children not to even look at candy felt unreasonable and unnecessarily harsh. Absurd. We were told to wander while our coats were taken, but when we did exactly that, we were abruptly scolded and made to feel like we were doing something wrong. At that point, we honestly should have left. When we were seated, the tablecloth was still dirty and there were crumbs left behind. The owner continued to lecture us about how the space was meant for adults, insisting tea was meant for ages 8+. That directly contradicts their own website, which states that tea is appropriate for ages 5 and up. The atmosphere became so uncomfortable that my sister even asked the owner whether it would be better if we left. The tea service itself was disappointing. The tea was lukewarm at best even after being told that we had to wait while the tea was being warmed. We were never told what the desserts were, and we were not offered water refills. While seated, I also overheard the owner speaking negatively to other guests about a previous guest she had from England, which added to the uncomfortable feeling. The area near our table was dusty and clearly hadn't been cleaned in some time. We left as soon as we could -- and it felt like the owner was eager for us to go as well. The bright spot of the afternoon was a kind guest who came over specifically to tell us how polite and well-behaved our girls were. Afterward, we took the girls to Colectivo for hot chocolate, which they enjoyed far more. They even said they felt happy to finally be somewhere they could just be kids again. Overall, we felt like an inconvenience rather than paying guests. The tone from the owner was condescending and unfriendly, especially toward children, which made the entire experience stressful instead of special. We will not return and unfortunately cannot recommend Schuster Mansion to others.

I also recommend a longer walk to St Josaphat Basilica, which was recommended by Mary Ellen and also some other guests. It was probably the most beautiful church I've seen in the US.

Lastly, we stayed in the Cheryl room which had the private bathroom just outside the room. This was no problem at all as we still felt very comfortable and it was still very convenient. Cute room, comfortable bed, and overall a wonderful place to stay. Oh yeah, the breakfasts were tasty, filling and set me up for the rest of my day!! A must stay! Excellent value and quality.

The neighborhood has old Milwaukee feel, like true residential feel. This place was restored roughly 25 years ago. It was originally built in 1886 and condemned to be torn down before they saved it. It took 7 years to really revive it. The grounds, the building, the details, the architecture, and sheer care that went into this place is very evident. It is so beautiful and the hospitality is even beyond. Truly a wonderful experience. I don't stay at bed and breakfast much because I usually opt for the hotels and it's amenities but I must this place definitely has changed my mind---although it is unique. I stayed in Sophie's room and it was very well maintained. The water pressure is actually very good and you can definitely come and go as you please. The breakfasts are delicious. They will use vegetables from the yard for omelets or Andrew's famous French toast w/ "brewed" vanilla. They are wonderful company and extremely cordial and down to earth folks. If I ever come back to Milwaukee---because this was a random spur-of-the-moment trip--I would stay here again. Definitely recommending it to others!
