Check out the Mid-Century Modern decor in this redesigned ranch style home! Filled with a blend of old and new our home includes refinished furniture, custom artwork, and a vintage style you won’t find anywhere else. We’ve remodeled this 1963 time capsule, adding our own personal style to create an experience for you to enjoy! We have everything you need to feel at home. Located in a quiet neighborhood at the center of the city, our listing is on the bus line and close to downtown and Hwy 52.
We purchased this 1963, mid-century home from family friends, and were so happy to restore this outdated rambler. Although we have tried to remain true to mid-century style, much of the house is new! Renovations have included all new appliances, new countertops, kitchen redesign, new flooring, new light fixtures, new window treatments, new shower, new exterior doors, full interior and exterior painting, and all new or refurbished furnishings! If we don't say so ourselves, this place has so much character, and it looks awesome! Maybe mid-century modern is your thing, or maybe it would be fun to try a new style on during your vacation! We were very fortunate to have the whole family involved as we renovated our space.
Emily’s dad was the main carpenter, and Emily’s mom the main painter. Alex’s parents made many weekend trips from Wisconsin to offer a hand.
Being away from home for appointments, surgeries, or even school and internships can be stressful. We hope that our home provides a space to relax and restore your body and soul. We have incorporated art pieces, trinkets, and books to offer peace, positivity and hope to all who enter. Treat our home as your own.
Other amenities include: Roku with Netflix, board games, books, extra blankets, Keurig and large coffee pot.

Guest interaction
We live approximately 2 miles from the property and are available in the evenings if needed. We work at the clinic during the day, but texting is a great option for quick questions or issues!

We also have retired family members in town who can help out in a pinch!
