The Muse Gallery Guesthouse

It was an excellent stay overall. Good place if you want to be in BayView neighborhood and/or a short drive to downtown MKE. Room and common areas are comfortable and well decorated. Breakfast was delicious. Hosts are friendly. Would stay again.

What a beautiful guesthouse! Mary Ellen and Andrew are very gracious hosts and made us feel at home straightaway. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We were also encouraged to use other parts of the house, including a comfortable sitting room with drinks and snacks - delicious homemade cookies! Breakfast was very tasty and beautifully presented. This is a true home from home and we will be back - with friends too!

The Muse is an exceptional experience! The Victorian house was restored with lovely touches throughout. Beautifully decorated with works of art by local artists - everywhere you look there is art and unique curios. The bedrooms are comfortable, and well appointed. Mary Ellen and Andrew are such gracious, welcoming and friendly hosts - made me feel right at home. The breakfasts - totally amazing! Each day was a different gourmet delight - Mary Ellen made sure to respect my dietary restrictions, and everything was totally delicious! My three day stay was a total pleasure.

This place fully deserves it’s top rating from Trip Advisor. You already know what the pictures show you, but once you arrive, you’ll realize you’ve found something very special! Andrew and Mary Ellen are gracious hosts. If you want, they’ll give you a tour and explain all that your eyes behold! Yes, just like the name suggests, it truly is a gallery! (Art that is available for purchase if you are so moved to do so! ) We stayed in the Angela room which is a large upstairs suite with a separate living room and balcony! The two of us were unable to utilize the entire space during our two night stay! It’s located in a thriving, yet quiet part of town which was fun to explore! In the morning, the breakfasts seemed straight from the garden, multi course, accommodating and obviously cooked with love. (Mary Ellen is a fabulous cook!) As one guest shared “this food is better than my mothers! But don’t tell her I said that!” If there’s a downside (which I couldn’t find one!) my friend is a little uneasy with her balance so she slightly struggled going up and down stairs, but she asked me to NOT include this as it didn’t take away from her perfect 5 star rating of the MGG! But, if you have a similar issue, know there are multiple first-floor rooms for you to choose from! The cost was similar to hotels and for the weekend we were in Milwaukee, it was about a third of the price of any available hotel! An absolute steal of a deal!! Enjoy your stay! Please tell Andrew and Mary Ellen hello from their TA fans!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Muse. Mary Ellen was very welcoming and gave us delicious cheese and crackers and sangria after our long travels. The room was nice and especially enjoyed the jetted tub! Andrew was very nice and gave us a great breakfast along with a fantastic kettle of real British tea. Would definitely stay there again!

This place was amazing. Such a great room with character. And the hosts were very accommodating as well. Nice welcome hour with wine and fresh baked treats. The breakfast are unlike the normal standards. To top it off is the location. We were in walking distance from a nice variety of shops and restaurants. Will definitely return.
