We were given a brief tour of the house and our rooms, and we got on our way. Our room was gorgeous, the current owners are putting a lot of effort into bringing the home back to its glory.

Would stay again with no hesitation the next time we're in Racine and need accommodations.

I found Seven Oaks on Yelp when researching B&B's in Lake Geneva. The great reviews led us to book…read morethem for 3 nights and in hindsight we have no regrets choosing them as our winter destination. The only minor downsides are a lack of streaming options, no safe, a single key and the spotty Wi-Fi. Despite the inconveniences, don't let that deter you from coming here. The unique, personal and private experience makes up for it and here's why. The check in and check out process is easy. They don't have a front desk and check in/out requires no interaction with staff. Pulling into the facility, there are designated parking spaces based on the name of the cottage booked. As you approach your cottage, the front door has your last name written on these cute chalkboard hearts. We loved our accommodations. The amenities they provide are well thought out and I for one appreciate the details (big or small). Seven Oaks is a couples only facility with a majority of their updated cottages hosting large 1 bedroom suites with comfortable bedding, an en suite bathroom complete with a 2 person jet tub, Kohler standing showers with multiple shower heads, heated floors (perfect for winters), robes and heated towel racks. In addition to the hairdryer, they also keep cotton pads and Q-tips in the bathroom sink drawer if you forget to pack them. The nightstands in the bedroom have plenty of charging outlets too. The cottages are equipped with lots of drawer and closet space. The cozy living room has a fireplace, comfy sofa, and a TV. For nights in sans screen time, there are books and games in the drawers to keep you entertained. All kitchenettes have a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker providing a selection of coffee and teas. Utensils and cups are there if you need them as well. Complementary wine, crackers and a cheese plate (stored in the mini fridge) are provided on your first nights stay along with breakfast for the following morning. For multiple night stays, breakfast is brought out to you at your door around 10-11ish. Their complementary breakfasts are good but our absolute favorite is their ham and cheese quiche. Housekeeping did an excellent job refreshing our place when we requested it and they made the place look and smell spotless upon return. Seven Oaks is the perfect year-round getaway just minutes from Lake Geneva and most restaurants. Overall our stay was peaceful, quiet and made for a pleasant vacation.

It's inside a gazebo so no worry about bugs- and they had music playing to set the mood (some Dean Martin!) The fireplace inside was ready to light, but since we had such great weather, we didn't use it. The jacuzzi tub is a fantastic place to relax after sitting out by the fire. They provided so many touches to make it a fabulous stay-- chocolate, toothbrushes, bubblebath, even flowers! We opted for brunch and received a HUGE tray of food-- bread, muffins, fruit, sausage, cheese, juice. We didn't see many of the animals but heard the rooster :) The history of the building is awesome, too. But I won't share it here- since you should go find out for yourself! In a way, I didn't want to share this review because I want to keep this place all to myself-- but they deserve to get more awesome guests! Go here. You will not regret it.

We checked in around 3:30 in the afternoon and met our host and hostess who were very nice and gave us a brief tour of the second floor rooms before we got settled. We stayed in the Egyptian room, which has a small bathroom (sink and toilet) as well as an in-room jacuzzi and a small sitting area. Since it was cold during our stay, we didn't use our balcony, but did use the small heater which they keep in the room to help warm up the room. The bed was comfortable, and in the morning the breakfast was very good--Trader Joe's yogurt, pastries, fresh pineapple, orange juice, tea, coffee, eggs, and sausage--served at a cozy table in a breakfast nook accompanied by pleasant conversation with our host and hostess. Considerations: * Watch yourself if there has been snow recently when you visit in winter. The parking area was a bit slippery, and since it isn't perfectly level, you can slide if you aren't careful. * If you have cat allergies, understand that they do have some friendly indoor cats. (My husband is allergic, but our room was extremely clean and he had almost no problem while at the castle.) * If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. My husband could hear the cats prowling, pouncing, and meowing above us at night, making it difficult for him to sleep soundly. (I had earplugs, so I slept through any sounds entirely.) * There is no Wi-Fi, and there are no TV in the rooms, although there is one available in a common area. Overall impression was good and we were glad we stayed there this year. If you like solitude and quiet, it's a great choice for a unique country getaway for a night or two.

They host an array of events, from weddings to wine tastings to classes (a gorgeous spot for a wedding with a smaller guest list--this isn't your 400 person wedding sorta spot). For anyone into horticulture or simply looking for ideas to improve your own garden space, you can't help but leave here inspired. An absolute gem in Milwaukee!

It's a touch of tranquil in the busy surrounding Downtown. I loved looking at all of the different fauna and flowers. I only wish they had the signs saying what type of plant it was. There are a series of paths, a few fountains, and some nice areas where you can relax. They rent out the gardens for parties and weddings. There was a separate carriage house that has bathrooms and facilities to get dressed for events. I am sorry I didn't know about this place sooner. It's really beautiful!
