We had an excellent night stay. Our hosts, Laura Sue and Rick, were extremely kind and caring people. We loved it!

Beautiful home! Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious.

DO NOT BOOK A ROOM HERE. We arrived at 3:45 pm to check-in. At first, we were told we were too early and that we can't check in until 4. We asked if we could just leave our bags, as we had tickets to a Brewers game that started at 6. She then gave us attitude and told us to put our bags in one of the rooms off to the side. She then asked for my name, and then said, oh, you've been canceled. I asked her what she was talking about, as I booked this room months ago and never heard anything about a cancellation. As a matter of fact, hotels.com sent me an email titled \"All set for your trip to Milwaukee\" just three days earlier, and there was no other correspondence since. The lady then tried some excuse that there are sometimes mix ups with Expedia, and that I'd have to talk with them. I checked my hotels.com app, and my reservation was still in a \"Booked\" status. There was nothing stating it was canceled. I then called hotels.com, and got the run around from them as they called the hotel, and the lady then told them that I failed to call them to confirm my reservation. I have checked my original reservation and there is absolutely nothing in there that says my reservation will be canceled if I don't call them to confirm. There is verbiage about making arrangements for late check-in, but nothing that says you must call or be canceled. Last, but not least, I prepaid for this hotel back in January. Here we are in July, and I still haven't been refunded.

Wonderful breakfasts made to order at a time that is convenient for you! The owners were so friendly and helpful. We loved our stay here and know you will, too!
Lori
This charming home was historic and welcoming. We had the best nights rest while there and the hosts, Laura and Rick, were super sweet. They are experienced and met all our wants and needs…no surprises. Thank you for making our stay in Milwaukee so wonderful!
Brittany
Was a really interesting property, well maintained. Great breakfast!
Heidi
The hosts were so friendly! Our room was clean and beautiful. The garden was probably my favorite place to hang out! Coffee on the patio with a gorgeous view, best breakfast I’ve had in a minute! Would definitely stay here again!
Robert
The staff was amazing and went above and beyond!

We had a lovely stay at the Schuster Mansion. We had Richard’s Den. The room was beautiful. The bed was so comfortable, we had to ask the brand for our next bed purchase.
Laura Sue and Rick were so nice and accommodating. This is their home and they treat you as a guest in their home. They allow space in their fridge to put your refrigerated items. Use of beautiful glassware from the butler’s pantry. They were always checking to see if we were comfortable.
The breakfasts were AMAZING!!! They ask you to pick your breakfasts at check-in so they may be prepared.
The Victorian Garden was so relaxing. We played cribbage during our down time during the day and had our evening wind down drinks there.
Off-street parking was a plus. It is close to American Family stadium and downtown. I went to the lakeshore to walk every morning. We Ubered to the stadium and downtown for ease and we knew we would be drinking.
We had no concerns about the neighborhood.
We got to take a glance at Laura Sue’s Suite between guests. We will book that one next time.

If there is one thing I can't say enough about, it was the made to order breakfast. The Eggs Strata and praline French Toast....I think it needs no further description. Top notch.
Philip
The food was amazing and the service impeccable. We hope to be back again sometime.

Fantastic Victorian mansion with matching atmosphere and furnishings and decor. Friendly owners. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.
Phil
Staying with Rick and Laura Sue was a delight. They are amazing hosts and their B & B experience set the bar high. Extremely accommodating and we enjoyed our short stay for the weekend. The grounds are lovely. We enjoyed the Serenity suite we were set up in. Had a great sleep and enjoyed a soak in the jacuzzi tub before breakfast. As for breakfast…..top notch!!! Enjoyed the company and conversation at breakfast as well. They make you feel like they already know you. Engaging and entertaining. Definitely would come back while in Milwaukee.
Rick
A type of egg hash brown and ham bake with French toast.
Joshua
Lovely hosts and beautiful home with old charm throughout and delicious breakfast served when you want it! They let you select the breakfast when you check in and the time you want to eat. Very nice touch. The home is truly beautiful inside and out with a luxury feel and fine finishes (the wood floor in our room was very intricate and you could definitely tell it was costly in it's day). Everything about the home was lovely. The neighborhood, not so much, it's very run down and the home just across the street is boarded up. Very loud neighbors, talking loud and yelling most the day, loud music, and cars. It definitely took away from the luxury feel, although DEFINITELY not the fault of the hosts! We ran the air conditioner / fan at night to override the noise and had no issues sleeping. We parked our car in their driveway lot and had no issues there either.
Beware, extra fees when booked on here... I'd book direct next time!

Nice old house. Breakfast was great. Owners are friendly and attentive.
Kim
Victorian Mansion near down town Milwaukee is quaint and quite unique. The proprietors are sweet, hardworking people who really aim to please. Rooms are well appointed and decorated in period furniture and knickknacks. A really fun experience.
Jeanne Lynn
Rick and Laura Sue were wonderful hosts. I stayed for three nights so I got to enjoy 3 of their wonderful gourmet breakfasts. The B and B was lovely with special touches throughout--made me feel like I was living during the Victorian Era. Surrounding neighborhood is not great but the inn itself felt very safe.
Liliana
The property owners: Sue and George were amazing. The house is beautiful. We were located in the serenity room which was a dream. You have everything for a great stay. Quiet. Comfortable and clean. A must when you go to Milwaukee. The bus station is a short walk. Breakfast was delicious. We love it.
PHILIP
An excellent stay.
PHILIP
An interesting and beautiful restoration of a historic home. Rick and Laura Sue are excellent chefs and hosts. I felt welcomed and enjoyed my stay. So did a local friend who decided to stay a few nights.
Katie
Very unique to the area. Easy 10 minute urber drive to downtown. Breakfast was so great and the hospitality was great. Will be staying again!
Rita
What a unique opportunity to step back in time! The detailed restoration of this beautiful bed and breakfast with such an extensive collection of period pieces is something to behold. The accommodations are very comfortable, our hosts were very welcoming and informative, and breakfast was an awesome experience. Definitely recommend a stay there!
Joseph
Great management. Personally attentive.
Timothy
From the check in they greets with open arms . She takes you step by step on breakfast options , home layout and how to access the place when coming in late. The home is in 1890s decor down to the tea. Best shower every and if you always wanted to take a bath in a Victorian tub this is for you.The inn keepers put in a water filtration system makes water more pure than bottle water. For the wine lovers you can buy bottles at the b and b and theres afternoon tea but must be booked in advance . The chef is Rick he makes the most delicious breakfasts straight out of Wisconsin. The bed is very luxurious .This place has the charm and warmth of a 1890s house and a garden to back it up. Uber is fast and there is public transportation a block south. Book for a night or weekend or bridal shower or a wedding you wont regert it. I cant say but thankyou for making feel welcome.
Sandra
The Schuster Mansion is a hidden gem in downtown Milwaukee. Built in 1891, it is an architectural marvel. When you consider that the building is 134 years old, the insider is essentially pristine. The rooms are furnished in the style of the period which means that the guest is able to experience what it would have been like.
The breakfast choices are excellent. We really enjoyed the chance to 'dine' for breakfast. It is definitely an experience to share be served your breakfast with real silverware and china.
We will return for a longer stay.

Allison
Everything was fantastic – cleanliness, comfort, friendliness, quiet, and the breakfast! My only criticism is that the bedroom was a little hot at night – it was a hot day in May, and I was told the place was \"kept at 67 degrees,\" but it felt a lot hotter than that in the room. Would definitely stay again, just maybe not in mid-summer (and would like to go back for an afternoon high tea!).
Mario
Amazing Hosts. And the breakfast qas outstanding

What an amazing venue! Will definitely stay there again! Very clean and comfortable. Our room was amazing. Loved the place.
Cheryl
I absolutely loved my experience here! Rick and Laura Sue are remarkable people who made sure I was comfortable and taken care of. It was such a great time getting to meet the other guests at breakfast. The selections of breakfast and teas were fabulous.
If you are an open person to casual conversation with so many new people, you will love it here. I highly recommend!

This is one of the very few B&Bs that REALLY hits the jackpot. The building (mansion) is phenominal, appartently all done by Laura and Rick. But the great mansion is exceeded by the breakfast! It is just fabulous.
This place is one in a million and should be visited.

Glowing Review of Schuster Mansion!
The breakfast was wonderful and Rick and Laura Sue were wonderful. We- including my 17 year old son- tell me this is our new place in Milwaukee!

Back in time
It was the most comfortable bed and breakfast place i have ever stayed in. The service was impeccable. They treated us as family. Laura Sue and Richard. Had lots of history to tell us about. If you want a conformable place to call home for a night or two and wonderful company and a yummy breakfast stay here

A leaky ceiling and a bad attitude
We needed a room in a very sold out night in Milwaukee, and decided to take a chance on a bed & breakfast because it seemed charming.
Knowing that a B&B is usually run by owners on site, my husband and I were mindful to check in as early as we could (6pm), but were greeted so coolly by the hostess upon arrival, I thought we were in the wrong place. Within 15 minutes, I was ready to leave-and should have. The proprietress used every opportunity and moment of our visit, to make us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Commanding us to sit or stand, contradicting or arguing with everything, it was appalling. She complained endlessly about the third party site I had booked on, complained about other guests to us and was outright mean to her spouse in front of us.
We tried to ignore all this, enjoy the ambiance (the room really was pretty), but awoke in the morning to water leaking from the ceiling, right onto us on the bed. When we let her know what was happening, instead of trying to fix it, she blames another guest, in the middle of a full dining room! He “took a shower wrong” and caused this leak, apparently. Meaning, this has happened before and we were rented a room with full knowledge the ceiling leaks.
No apology, no concern for the bed (being leaked on the entire time this is happening).
I have never had someone make me so uncomfortable and feel so unwelcome, anywhere I’ve stayed.
We left tired and started for the drive home; I’m still in shock about the experience.

Such a beautiful place with charm & very clean!! Food was delicious & it's a great location for going to the Pabst Theater! Make sure you go to the front door with the sign in front, & not the side door by the garden when you check in.
christina
I loved the beauty of the grounds, and I am in love with the style of the home, the breakfast was amazing and the free parking!
Molly
Laura Sue and Rick show great pride in the Bed and Breakfast they run!
Our breakfast was wonderful, with great conversation with other guests and our hosts.
The outside garden area was so beautiful and inviting! The perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine…as long as it’s not raining.
The BnB is not far from the Brewers ball park or the downtown area which was very nice!!
We had a very pleasant experience and would stay again!

Super cool place to stay
The mansion is absolutely gorgeous and decorated with amazing detail. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and more than we ever would have expected. This place is definitely worth checking out and a super cool experience to have in our travels.
Please ignore the negative reviews regarding the neighborhood that the mansion is located in. We felt completely safe and had no issues with having our vehicle parked at the property. The people who have commented on the neighborhood being bad clearly have not traveled much outside of small town America. It is what you would expect from being in any city in the United States. Great place, great price, great experience! We would highly recommend it.

The room was super clean and beautifully decorated. The service was perfect and breakfast was extremely delicious. I want to come back again to this same B&B.
Paul
Rick and Laura Sue were terrific hosts! What a beautifully restored late Victorian mansion! The breakfast was delicious.
Lorraine K
Cozy, quaint and Great breakfast
Was very nice, comfy and quaint. In the city near everything, wouldn’t walk the neighborhood. Food was delicious and loved the home and antiques.
Greg
Staying in a mansion is cool, the breakfast a plus
We enjoyed our stay and the food was good but we were charged extra for our children. When I reserved it on Hotels.com, it was clear that we were a family of 4. When we stayed at the hotel, I had to pay an extra $30 for each of my children. I believe this is something with Hotels.com and not the B&B, but I would have stayed elsewhere if I had know I would have to pay for each kid.

The good and bad
The good was the breakfast in the morning, owner Rick was a pure gentleman, and the various antiques in the house. The bad was Laura (opinionated, rude, and thinks pretty highly of herself), 30 minutes to check in, and location is in a sketchy neighborhood.
Donna
Great Place, would stay again.
Amanda
Breakfast was fantastic. The mansion was very beautiful but our room was extremely small and usable as a sleeping space only.
Poakahi
Very nice. You can tell they put a lot of work into their home/business. You can also tell they do care about their clients.
Mark
Know what you are renting.
This is NOT a Hotel stay. It is guesting in someone's personal home. It is important for prospective patrons to understand this. The couple who own and operate this are as friendly and helpful as one can imagine, but they are not there to be servants so the most important thing is to be respectful of them and their property.
They provide an incredible breakfast and offer several choices. (Trust me you won't get this service at any local diner.) Don't change your requested breakfast time on a whim or throw out crazy demands and expect them to just hop to it because you are the paying customer. They are tremendously accommodating, and if it is an emergency they will work with you but don't take advantage like an entitled tool.
The rooms are smaller and decorated in mansion motif. You may need to share a bathroom. There are three floors and no elevator. Know this going in so you are not surprised. You will be treated in direct proportion as that which you give out. Example: I was respectful, friendly, and congenial and in return enjoyed a nicer experience than in a hotel and cheaper to boot. (Free parking near downtown? Good luck finding THAT elsewhere. They provide it.)
To sum up, staying here is a more personal experience. Act like a jerk and you will be treated with the minimum of professionalism necessary. Act like a mature adult and you will be treated to a better time than you will find in any downtown hotel at twice the cost.

The Hosts were wonderful, even after delayed arrival around 330am! Cozy, hospitable, clean, and interesting place!
Emily
My partner and I had a lovely time here — the hosts were very accommodating to his dietary needs and the breakfast was amazing. Not to mention, the mansion itself is beautifully decorated and well-maintained. I would have stayed longer had I had any reason to be in Milwaukee past our one night. Thank you, Rick and Laura Sue!
Denise
The interior of the house was beautifully decorated for Christmas. There was alot of dust, broken glass & a peculiar smell throughout. The shower was a danger to get in & out.
The owner & host, Laura Sue was down right rude, nasty, miserable, & condescending the entire stay. She made us both very uncomfortable during our stay. She stated she did not like that we booked thru Expedia & therefore would only give us discounted service. When we mentioned we were there for my husband's birthday, she told us she could not wish him a happy birthday because we booked thru Expedia. Laura Sue would not let her husband/owner speak to us because of this also. She told us she looked into how Expedia billed us & said we were over billed by Expedia.
If we could have received a refund, we would have left immediately!
We also heard gunshots the last 2 nights of our stay.
All the other B&B's were sold out in the area with the exception of Schuster Mansion. Now we understand why. Worst B&B ever!
The owner & host, Laura Sue was down right rude, nasty, miserable, & condescending the entire stay. She made us both very uncomfortable during our stay. She stated she did not like that we booked thru Expedia & therefore would only give us discounted service. When we mentioned we were there for my husband's birthday, she told us she could not wish him a happy birthday because we booked thru Expedia. Laura Sue would not let her husband/owner speak to us because of this also. She told us she looked into how Expedia billed us & said we were over billed by Expedia.

Will be back!
Funky haunted mansion in the hood. Hosts were great as was breakfast. Mansion is really cool. Just don’t stray from the property at night.

We chose this property due to its proximity to American Family Field and we’re glad we did. The place was clean and comfortable. The hosts were fantastic. I’d be happy to stay there again.

The home was lovely and the hostess/host were delightful. The houses in the area are unkept but don’t let this scare you off. It is safe

The property is beautiful and the host was very welcoming.
The houses around the area are a little questionable but don’t let that scare you off.

First Trip to Bed & Breakfast. Highly Recommend!
This was our first at a Bed & Breakfast and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Laura Sue and Rick were so welcoming. Very personal feel upon check-in and helping us get settled in. The breakfast was amazing! Great location just mere minutes from anything that we wanted to do. Our suite was very inviting and comfortable. The garden is a very relaxing space as well. Definitely worth the trip and we would definitely stay here again!
Susan
Interesting place, very nice breakfast.
Area was not as close to other activities as we would have preferred. Neighborhood is a bit sketchy.

Overnight gem!
Found this lovely b&b on short notice for our trip to Milwaukee. Best hosts ever! Very clean, comfy and deliscious! Could not have asked for anything better! 5 star for sure!

Nice clean rooms, plenty of pillows, convenient to the venue we were going to. You could choose what time you wanted breakfast. Great stay.

The 1800's style mansion very unique and beautiful. My girlfriend and I (23 &26), stayed there for a night because we came to see a concert at The Rave down the street. It's only an 8 min walk, very convenient and close. The bedroom we stayed in was Richard's Den, it was so amazing to see! Clean and comfortable. Beautifully designed from it's era. The breakfast in the morning was some of the best food I've tasted, I had crepes with fruit in them, very nice stay.

The owners will treat you different if you book through a third party like orbitz. They are extremely rude (also racist) and made our stay a miserable one. Read the reviews!

I had a fabulous stay recently and would like to share my experience. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by my hosts, Laura Sue and Rick. They invited me into the Victorian era parlor for a brief orientation of the mansion. I was so impressed by the meticulous restoration of the property as well as the attention to detail in its furnishings. It was clear that every aspect was carefully considered, from wall hangings to custom-made curtains and drapes. As for my accommodations, they certainly exceeded expectations and were at a reasonable price. The bed was quite comfortable (and I must note that I am picky!), allowing for a great night’s sleep. The next morning, my hosts prepared a wonderful breakfast of my choice: a ham and egg strata with roasted potatoes, along with the most delicious French toast (Laura Sue’s special recipe) on the side. My hosts were most gracious and sat down with me to discuss the history of the mansion, which is located in the historic Concordia neighborhood. I highly recommend a stay here – as well as “Mollie’s High Tea,” when your hosts, dressed in period costumes, serve an impressive selection of tea varieties, along with savory and sweet treats, and tell stories about the historic property and Victorian traditions. You will not be disappointed with a visit to the Schuster Mansion. In fact, it will be a memorable, if not magical, experience!

Very clean, the owners of the property were extremely friendly the breakfast was delicious,

Great breakfast.

Wonderful Milwaukee B & B.
The Schuster Mansion was amazing! This more than 100 year old mansion turned Bed and Breakfast is first class in every way. Our room, Prairie Sky, was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The hosts were friendly, engaging, and interesting. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. If you are going to be in Milwaukee plan to stay at the Schuster Mansion.

Excellent breakfast. Cordial time with owners.
Rhiannon
Poor location, noise, and condition of the suite. Around 2am we were awoken to an argument outside of our window between the neighbors that lasted over 30 minutes. Yes, we were provided ear plugs. At breakfast, which was late when we arrived downstairs due to the owner not sleeping, hearing the same argument we heard, which she said happens often and she went out to yell at them to get off the lawn and overslept. The bed in the suite needs to be updated, and the frame and headboard fixed. Each time you move, the headboard bangs the wall and the frame squeaks, hopefully you aren't someone who moves in bed to experience this and the foot of the bed is inches higher than the head of the bed. The shower curtain in the bathroom had green mold on the interior curtain and yes, we understand this is an older home but the water pressure and hot water are less than adequate. This place is also a fire hazard with surge protectors everywhere, a window air conditioner that when on dims and flickers all lights in the suite. If you are looking for someplace to get a good night of sleep this is not the place.
We have stayed at a few different bed and breakfasts and this was by far the worst.
I posted a similar review on Goolge only to then receive a harassing and blame full reply from the owners \"Instead of just coming to to us about all you issues and letting us know, then we look into it with our staff, you choose to tell the world...\"

Underwhelmed
Owner was very helpful with flat tire as we were leaving so offset some of the bluster about unwritten rules we kept managing to violate (no luggage at check in, no dirty dishes in kitchen sink, no seating at breakfast table until presentation was complete). Beautiful home but not walkable to restaurants or attractions.
Kristan
luxurious experience, taste of late 1800s, quiet
Cheryl
Beautifully done, inside and gardens. Rick and Laura Sue are wonderful. A great experience, will go back.
David
Very relaxing. Nice yard and sitting areas. Food was delicious.
Denise
Our stay
Very nice and friendly people. The food was very good. We stayed in the smallest room which only has a full.size. If you are used to a bigger bed this room is not for you
Robert
Unique and beautiful home with great hosts! Priceless!
Robert
They were very friendly, breakfast was excellent.
Marco
No time to explain in details the issues, but we want just to say that our issue was only with the lady owner and her absurd strict military rules for check in time, breakfast time etc... What could have been a pleasant experience was ruined buy her unwelcoming behavior.
Gregory
Beautiful old home, wonderful proprietors!
margaret
Beautifully renovated Victorian mansion, absolutely gorgeous, friendly and attentive staff, highly recommended!
Kathleen S
The property was lovely and beautifully maintained. The neighborhood however, was pretty rundown.
Lynn
Wife is extremely political in conversation sounding like Tucker Carlxx.
One sign in the kitchen says, \"Trump Headquarters\". Truck is decaled out with an eagle and flag. In light of Jan. 6th, this is not acceptable. If we had known, would have stayed somewhere else.
The husband was friendly and the home and gardens are nice. Breakfast was beautifully presented and good.

The owners made us feel very welcome, very cool accommodations for Milwaukee. Convenient walk to and from the Rave. Would definitely recommend this spot to others
Marsha
The mansion and grounds are beautiful. The mansion is decorated like an old Victorian home--lots of antiques, knick-knacks, old photos. Interesting to see but they all could stand a good dusting and so could the wood floors, windowsills, draperies, etc. Guests should be informed ahead of time that they will in some cases have to share a bathroom with other guests. We would not have booked this room if we knew that was the case--especially in these times of Covid. In addition, the owners, though kind, outgoing and personable, shared they are not vaccinated and don't intend to be. Again, that would have been a deal breaker for us if we had known and its our fault for not asking ahead of time.

Everything was great. The owners were very friendly and helpful. Wonderful breakfast and quiet neighborhood. The location provides easy access to downtown but I probably wouldn’t walk alone. The stairs are a little steep for anyone with knee issues and no elevator.
Debra
It is a beautiful old mansion, decorated in the correct time period, very cozy, the couple who owns it is very friendly and helpful. Very special breakfast , served on beautiful china and crystal. Highly recommend a stay here.
gail
Absolutely beautiful home. Very friendly owners.
Heather
We had an amazing time! Beautiful period home, staff/owners were kind and friendly! we will definitely be returning. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve slept on outside of home too!
Kelly
This place is incredible! At first glance I thought it might be a strange visit but once I walked in I felt immediately the love of the innkeepers was very apparent. The check in process was wonderful - they explained everything from getting into the mansion to breakfast and check out the next morning. The room I stayed in was up on the third floor but so cute and comfortable. It had a shared bathroom with another room but no one was staying there so I had the bathroom to myself which was nice.
I honestly think the best part of my stay was the breakfast in the morning! You get to pick your choice the night before out of four options - each sounds more delicious than the next. I chose a ham and cheese Strava with pecan French toast and am still dreaming about it.

Delightful Stay!
We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the whole house. The chandeliers were shiny and sparkling. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. The kitchen was clean and organized.
The innkeepers were very friendly and willing to help us with anything we needed. They had an eye for the special little touches. The pictures were so fun to look at. It was truly a wonderful experience. We laughed, and talked with the innkeepers, they were delightful!

This is a spacious and beautiful mansion. The hosts were very friendly and strove to make us feel at home. The food was tasty and plentiful. I recommend the Mollie's tea experience. They also have a lovely gift shop with nice and reasonably priced items.

The mansion is awesome! No complaints. The rooms are quaint and homey, which is fine for an old Victorian home.
