The Gem of Brewers Hill w/hot tub and pool

About this space. Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally-located place. Walking distance to Brady Street, the Milwaukee River Walk, shops, restaurants and coffee houses. Less than a mile from Fiserv Forum and downtown Milwaukee. This pet friendly unit has a private fenced in yard, BBQ grill, off street parking for your vehicles and motorcycles, and a hot tub for your use.

Located in Historic Brewer's Hill just north of downtown Milwaukee, the Gem of Brewer's Hill was built in 1891. We are located on a quiet street with off street parking, which is accessed via the paved alley.

All bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. Two bedrooms have king sized beds with hardwood floors. The middle bedroom is carpeted and has a Queen size mattress. All bedrooms have a smart TV, USB outlets, ceiling fans, electric mattress pads, bath robes and a white noise machine. There is a dedicated office space on the first floor, off the dining room, which also has a single pull out couch. The living room has a smart tv. High speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the unit.

Enjoy coffee on the side porch or dinner grilled in the backyard. Each floor has a full bathroom. Two of the bathrooms have jetted tubs. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, gas stove, microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee maker and traditional coffee pot with bean grinder. We supply a variety of K-cup coffees, teas and hot chocolate. The lower level rec room has a electronic dart board, pinball machine, two smart tv's, four-top cocktail table, a couch and separate living room area with a pullout twin bed. The house has all the charm of an old Victorian, with 10 foot ceilings, slightly uneven hard wood floors and quirky staircases. The house is not childproofed (no covered outlets or secured furniture). There are 14 steps up to the front porch, stairs inside to go up to the bedrooms and down to the rec room, and 6 steps down the side porch to the parking pad.

The house has dual zoned central air conditioning and whisper quiet water heated radiators. The radiators will be warm to the touch, but will not burn. The owners live next door, so please let us know if you need anything.

In the summer, guests have access to owner's in-ground swimming pool, which is located across the street. The pool will be shared with the owners and their guests. The pool is fenced in and has a locked cover which requires a passcode to be opened. The pool has an 8 foot deep end with diving board, basketball goal in the shallow end, outdoor kitchen and bathroom. The pool is open 10am-10pm everyday between Memorial Day and Labor Day, weather permitting. This is a salt pool, and is heated all summer long. Pool floats and toys are provided.

We are happy to be hosting you at The Gem of Brewers Hill w/hot tub and pool. If you would like to use the pool, you are most welcome to do so. We have a few rules that we request that you follow.

1. We keep the cover closed and locked for safety reasons. Please let us know about what time you might like to swim, and we will make sure it is open for you.
2. There is no glass allowed in the pool area. Please make sure your beverages are in cans, not bottles.
3. There is a refrigerator in the grill area. Feel free to use it. Make sure you push the door shut firmly. The latch is particular. A hard slam of the door, and it will bounce open.
4. There are plenty of pool floats available for your use. Enjoy!
5. There is a toilet in the gray shed structure. The light will turn on when you close the door. Push the button to flush when you are done. This toilet is not hooked up to the sewer. When you see a red line on the foil liner, please let us know right away. We need to change the bag.
6. The shallow end is 4 feet deep. The deep end is 8 feet deep. There are some life jackets hanging on the wall behind the Tiki Bar.
7. This is a shared pool with our other rental unit, and with the owners. We cannot guarantee private access to the pool for just your party.
8. Feel free to let your dogs run in the yard next to the pool. Please remember to pick up after your lovely pets.
9. There are striped pool towels located in the The Gem of Brewers Hill w/hot tub and pool. They are kept in the first floor bathroom on the shelf. Please hang them up in the bathroom to dry, or leave them in the washing machine when you are done.
10. There is large blue cooler that you can fill with ice to keep your drinks cold. Please drain the water out of the cooler when you are done for the day.
11. Feel free to bring a blue tooth speaker out. Just be respectful of the neighbors and keep the music to a respectful level.
12. Have fun!

Great for us
Great unique house, loved the character of house. Close to everything we did and easy access to everywhere we went. Pool in picture is NOT on property ground but across the street, Cover was on each time we checked to see if it was open, and was a bit uncomfortable to walk into someone's back yard. Hot tub was great.

We were impressed with the property. There were extra toiletries, cooking supplies, lots of towels, kitchen utensils, if you needed it you could find it. All rooms were clean. Basically we found everything we needed and more. Great location, a tv in every bedroom, we walked to lots of restaurants and bars. Retired teachers and a nurse give the place an A+. We had an in house beer tasting contest!

This house was perfect for our girls weekend! There were several great places to congregate and hang out, comfortable couches and beds, and a stocked kitchen. The outdoor space was perfect for morning coffee, and the pool was so much fun! The hosts were so accommodating and communicative. We hope to come back!

Excellent location near downtown Milwaukee
This was a very clean house in a quiet part of town that had all the amenities we needed. We did have an ant issue which was quickly resolved by the owner. Owner was great with communication. The location was perfect to get to all your activities near downtown. We did not have a dog, but this house would be perfect for that because of the fenced in yard. My only caution is that if you have young children or elderly people that the stairs could be a challenge/fear as they are rather steep. If this is not a concern then don't hesitate to stay here! We did feel the beds were on the stiff side, but I guess this is a personal preference thing.
