This property is exactly as advertised. The lighting is fantastic and well thought out. As someone who likes to sleep with the TV on, it is worth noting there is no TV in the bedroom but I slept really well.

Modern and Cute Canal View Apartment

Beautiful little place! And can’t beat the view of the portage lake lift bridge! This was one of the most complete VRBO properties we’ve stayed at and everything was quiet, updated/new, and spotless. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Well Appointed, One Window

There is only one window and it's in the bedroom. Well appointed and comfortable. Easy walk to downtown stores and restaurants as well as the waterfront. Waterfront deck with bar and stools is across the street by the parking lot right on the waterfront. Worked for us because we enjoy the area and things being within walking distance.
