Perfect Little House

This charming house was very clean and all of our accommodations were wonderful. We attended a wedding at Mercantile Hall just a few blocks away, so the location was perfect. It was walking distance to everything downtown: breakfast, dinner, bars, wedding hall, coffee shops. Our group of 4 was very comfortable but there was plenty of room for a couple more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this house!

This property was the perfect place for my daughter's wedding party. The directions were clear and the check-in process was easy. The house was comfy, and I loved the retro decor. The host was accommodating when there was a change in the number of guests.

Retro Magic!

Donna is a wonderful host and the house was fantastic! Perfect location and just right for our group of 5…we were close to Lake Geneva for walking the shore line and other activities and we were able to go on a great bike ride right from the house. Next time we will definitely bring our kayaks and check out the Fox River. Thanks for your hospitality!

Hotel alternative for funeral

The house was clean and comfortable. This was a first time doing this for me. I have some walking insecurity so an outside hand rail at the steps would have been helpful. The beds and bath facilities were fine for our needs. Others had left condiments in the fridge which was great and we liked the thoughtful extra packaged goods in the cupboards also, even if we didn't use them.

Charming and comfortable stay

We were attending an event at the nearby State Recreation Area (VRBO won’t let me actually include the name, IYKYK) but didn’t want to stay in a hotel in Kenosha. This location was perfect - less than 15 minutes away - and the accommodations were quiet and very comfortable. The house has a very retro vibe, most of us grew up in the 70s and 80s and felt right at home. Host Donna had clear instructions and responded quickly to all of our questions. Highly recommended.

This was an amazing stay for my wife and close friends. The host was incredibly polite and communicated exceptionally well. Can’t say enough good things about this property and its owner. If you find yourself in or around Burlington, this property will feel much more comfortable and home-y than any hotel in the area.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Retro Rectory! The entire house was spotless, fully functional, and thoughtfully decorated. The young adults in our group were thoroughly entertained by the vinyls in the music room. Donna was super accommodating and let us know the day of that the house was ready for us and we were free to come early. Great neighborhood with walking path along the river, shops, and park nearby. Would stay again without a doubt!
