Unique property in a great location
We really enjoyed our stay at the silo! Quirky and fun perfect location. Enjoyed coffee in the mornings on the deck and watched an evening storm roll in upstairs in the surround windows. Right next to peninsula state park. 4 adults in our group, bring a hairdryer, kitchen has some basics to cook with (salt, pepper, oils, coffee filters), beds comfortable. We would go back.

Great location but couldn’t handle the heat
This is a fun, unique venue for a short visit. We were booked for a week but left early due to my allergies and inability to sleep. One window unit on the 4th floor only cooled the 4th floor. High temps and humidity made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere. The dehumidifier ran constantly and we emptied it at least 3 times a day. Musty odors killed my allergies and asthma. I would recommend a cooler temp visit as the location is right at the entrance of Peninsula Park for biking or hiking and easy walking to dining and shops. This location had lovely bedding and art but the carpeting, window treatments and paint could use a little attention.
