The fireplace was a coal burning fireplace so it is not suitable for burning wood. It is converted to gas. Many of the fireplaces on this street were used for burning coal to heat the house in the 1800s.

Daughters wedding
We hosted our daughter’s wedding at The beautiful Dekoven Center. We stayed at this 1850s home on brick road in a lovely Racine neighborhood a few blocks from our wedding venue. It hosted my husband and me, our daughters and her bridal party. Charming home w lots of character. Loved the blue tooth in the shower. Hosts were wonderful! 10 stars!!!!

relaxing and comfortable
This is a nice home with 4 bedrooms. It can accommodate a large family. There is a tv in all the rooms. It has a nice living room and kitchen with a nice stove and refrigerator. It is very homey and very comfortable. The home is close to shopping and restaurants only a short drive away and only a few blocks from the lake. My family wanted to stay longer.

Great time in Racine
The location of this property in the historic area is lovely and convenient to family activities such as parks, playground, beach, zoo. The house is spacious with nice personal touches by the hosts such as fresh flowers and local bakery goodies. It was easy to communicate with Dan and Ann, and they replied promptly. It has a spacious, beautiful yard and landscaping, plus Lake Michigan is only blocks away and an easy walk to enjoy.

A perfectly wonderful place
The house is well situated, just minutes from the lake and Main Street. We felt completely at home; the owners have decorated and appointed the house beautifully - every detail has been considered and implemented. Communication was easy and they solved issues (i.e. getting the drive shovelled in a snow storm) before we could even ask about them. The back porch and yard are wonderful for relaxing. We loved the house and the neighbourhood and found it difficult to leave!

Cozy Racine Weekend
We had an excellent stay at this beautiful historic home in Racine. The house was immaculate, and the decorations and antiques were a beautiful touch. Our host was very kind and flexible with check in, and even left us a Racine kringle for our stay. We will absolutely be booking again the next time we need a place to stay with space for all of our friends/family! Thanks again.

Home sweet home!
Clean, nicely furnished, remodeled home with lots of rich history, comfortable beds (found my sleep number) and a super cool back porch and back yard. Beautiful, quiet neighborhood with tons of character and cool architecture. We loved the walks and runs along the lake in the parks that were just blocks away. Two thumbs up for this one!

Cute home!!
We enjoyed our stay! The house is a great size for our big family. We traveled with grandparents, teenagers and a baby. It is close to a nice beach and about 40 mins to the Milwaukee zoo. It was a very nice and relaxing few days staying at this property. We really enjoyed our stay. The hosts are great.

Grandma’s 90th weekend celebration
The beds were comfy, the linens were luxurious, the Kringle was a delicious surprise, the artwork was authentic Racine, the bubbles popped for our two year old, the porch was cozy, the bandaids were helpful, the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, spices, and a Keurig. What am I missing? It was only a two night stay. We will return. Thank you!

Charming House one at Lake
Just two blocks from the lake, this house is set in an adorable neighborhood with lovely old homes and pretty landscaping. We loved taking walks! The house itself is beautiful and well cared for, stocked with plenty of linens and even beach towels. This was a great place to get together, complete with back patio furniture and a grill. Plus, there was a pac n play for the baby! Such a great staying here, and there were many wonderful details that we appreciated.

Beautiful home close to the lake
We stayed at the Red Brick historical home for an Engagement party celebration. The historical home was very clean, comfortable, and just what our family was hoping for. We really enjoyed the back porch, fire table and new grill. The upstairs bathroom was newly renovated and the beds were extremely comfortable. In the morning we walked to the lake and enjoyed searching for sea glass. The location was perfect! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. It was a fun filled weekend!

We stayed at this listing over the Christmas holiday. Dan and Annette are awesome. They left a present for a child, a famous Racine Kringle and a nice welcome note for our family coming in from out of town. The home was impeccable and beautiful. They even decorated the home for Christmas. I would definitely stay again. My family enjoyed this historic home and all of its beauty.

Beautiful home with loads of Charm
We stayed at this property in preparation for my son‘s wedding at a nearby venue. Upon entering the home we were greeted with a basket of amazing goodies! The home owners provided so many amenities for our stay that we felt we were at home. The fire pit on the back deck was an amazing touch And allowed us to relax after a busy evening. There were plenty of towels and the bathroom was fully stocked! I have nothing bad to say about the stay. The neighborhood was quiet and looked like someplace out of a Norman Rockwell painting and we were literally one block from the lake. I encourage Anyone to definitely check this property out you will not be disappointed. Oh my gosh and the sleep number beds were amazing. I could go on and on but I’ll stop here! Thank you for an amazing weekend!
