Anna-Nanine (10/5): - If you like waking to a perfect cup of coffee and hearty and healthy breakfast after a fantastic night's sleep, look no more. The Muse Gallery Guesthouse delivers on the promise of an excellent bed and breakfast. The food was homemade and delicious, even tailored to guest needs (I'm gluten-free). The hosts were friendly and hospitable, greeting us with snacks and sangria, but respectful of privacy. And when I had a work issue and needed a notary, they got on the neighborhood listserv and found me someone right away. All this in a beautiful space, with art displayed everywhere. We will definitely return if and when we get back to Milwaukee.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful place! So friendly! Great service;)
Nicole (10/5): - Mary Ellen was great and it was a wonderful unique experience! Wish we had more timeto stay.
David M. (10/5): - Mary and Andrew couldn't have been nicer. Unique experience (art on all of the walls) is something that we will forever remember. I will absolutely stay here again if we are back in Milwaukee!!!
Jeffrey (10/5): - Very spacious and quiet. Beautiful inside and out.
Samantha (10/5): - Mary Ellen was very kind and knowledgeable about the area. We had a great short stay!
Kimberly (10/5): - The pictures don’t do it justice. It is amazing inside. The artwork is amazing. Service is great! We went for our honeymoon, and they gave us a smal gift for our wedding! The Julia room is the one I’d recommend taking.
Sean (10/5): Highly Recommended Awesomeness - Mary Ellen was the most awesome host. Breakfast was healthy and fresh (fruits, cheeses, veggies, lunch meats… the huge be was very comfortable. The dining and living room was private. Bayview is the most unique cool neighborhood. We will be back. Highly Recommend!

Phu (10/5): - Mary and her husband are the best host. The house is beautiful and uniquely decorated in a quiet neighborhood. Breakfast is tasty with healthy ingredients. I didn't know french toast could go so well with hazelnut and sausage and fluffy scrambled eggs could be paired with sauté vegetables. My husband and I plan to stay at the Muse Gallery guesthouse when we visit Milwaukee again.
Tricia (10/5): Love this place! - Mary Ellen and Andrew were amazing hosts! They have the cutest BNB and we were so happy with the room, the goodies, the breakfast…….all wonderful!
Verified traveler (10/5): - Caretakers very friendly and personable. Excellent breakfast. My one night stay was fantastic.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Great! Very charming! Hostess welcoming and very friendly.
Verified traveler (8/5): - great location.. very nice breakfast good neighborhood, parking was a plus
Laura (10/5): - The host personally greeted us and made us feel right at home. The other guests were a pleasure to get to know, and the breakfast was out of this world! The overall atmosphere was homey and inviting. The location is within walking distance to wine, coffee and restaurants, and is quick ride to downtown Milwaukee. I will definitely stay here again if in the area.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Comfortable, tastefully decorated room. Beautiful, tasty breakfast in AM. Gracious hosts. Would definitely stay again.
Verified traveler (8/5): - MaryEllen was so nice and very helpful. She had great coffee and some really awesome homemade cranberry nut bread, bananas and orange juice ready for us as we did not need a full breakfast. The location was good. Not far from the Lake. It would have been nice to take a walk along the lake if the weather would have cooperated. Our room was Cheryl’s room and was sufficient for our needs. The 2nd kitchen was just off of our room and our bathroom was just across the hall. The shower in the bathroom was quite small. We are on the smaller side so it was ok for us. The other bedrooms have their own bathrooms in the room from what I understand. The house was very clean and inviting. We were only there one night but we did enjoy our stay and would stay there again.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Location, cleanliness and staff. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again!
Mark (10/5): A different kind of experience. - This is a far different experience than standard hotel stays. Personalized service. I was greeted and given a tour of the amenities. Afforded a key, and offered tips for dining and drinking in the area.Comfortable rooms with personal touches. Never heard a noise any of the three nights.Great breakfasts. We are not talking the egg McMuffin here. Each dish was complex and very tasty. You will gain weight staying here. It might not be for me every time, but it is a great “other “ option to consider. Glad I did it this time. Thank you to proprietors Andrew and Mary.
Jeanne (10/5): Bay View is a great neighborhood - Mary Ellen and Andrew were awesome hosts for our two night stay. We were greeted with wine and cheese on our arrival and were briefed on all there was so do and see in the area. The breakfast was the highlight of our stay--a beautiful presentation, but most of all it was delicious!
Verified traveler (10/5): Beautiful old charm Bed and Breakfast - Loved The hosts! Nice comfy room. Breakfast was yummy! Close walk to food and drinks!
Marj (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable. Hosts were very friendly, congenial and helpful on the activities and dining in the local neighborhood of Bay View. Had a wonderful time and plan to stay at "The Muse" on future trips to Milwaukee.
Jeff (10/5): - The Muse Gallery hits all the right buttons leaving us wishing we had booked a much longer stay. Absolutely beautiful suite with perfect hosts so what can a Canuck say more than enjoy. Love the neighbourhood too!! Walking half a block to eat and drink at awesome restaurants and bars makes the easy life sweeter! Cheers!
Carol (10/5): A Real Delight! - We had a fishing trip planned...and chose this guesthouse because of its location. We were delighted at the gallery atmosphere, the quality of the gourmet breakfasts, and the friendliness of our hosts.
Candie (10/5): - Not only is this home beautifully styled, but it's covered in great local art! Mary Ellen and Andrew were friendly and accommodating hosts. The rooms were spotless and comfortable. I would certainly stay here again!
Deanna (10/5): - Loved everything. Stayed in the Angela Suite with another couple. The other bedrooms looked great too. Beds were very comfortable, Breakfast was outstanding, snacks in the evening were great. The owners definitely made the stay outstanding, very friendly and accommodating. Great neighborhood. Walk to good restaurants and ice cream shop. Milwaukee a great friendly city in general. Absolutely recommend this place in the Bay View area. Close enough to downtown with a quite quaint feel. Great outside sitting areas. Hope to return.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent breakfast at 8:30 am. Steep stairs. Nice people.
maryann (10/5): Lovely b&b near Summerfest - Mary Ellen once again made us feel so welcomed into her lovely b&b! Great location and delicious snacks and breakfast
Danielle (10/5): Great place with a great location. - The muse is a wonderfully run bed and breakfast. Mary and Andrew are really great. The location is wonderful as you can walk to many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. We had a great time and would recommend.
Verified traveler (8/5): Home away from home! - We were in town for a wedding and this place provided a lovely stay with the comfort home. Hosts were especially delightful, and provided a delectable breakfast, and snacks for their guests.
Jessica (10/5): Staycation at Muse was just what we needed! - We had a wonderful time! Andrew & Mary were wonderful hosts, the location in the Bayview neighborhood is great, totally walkable to many fun establishments nearby. Our room was lovely and the house itself was beautiful. It was extra special to be there during the Bayview Gallery Night, we got to meet some of the artists whose work was featured in the house. We live in Milwaukee so we didn't travel far and were already familiar with the neighborhood, but we had such a lovely time revisiting our past times spent on the south side. Highly recommended!
Pat Pat (10/5): 3 Generations Getaway - This B & B is beautifully furnished. The owners made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was a work of art & delicious!! Very comfortable beds.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent! Nice size for iur family! Owners were very helpful with things to do in the city. Will definitely stay again
Roberta (10/5): Fun & interesting place to stay - Terrific place to stay with very interesting rooms & great hospitality! Our mattress in the Loli room could use an upgrade but other than that, everything was perfect.
Sheri (10/5): Very charming bed and breakfast - Lovely bed and breakfast in primarily residential neighborhood close to restaurants and other attractions. The owners make you a great full breakfast, homemade cookies at night and snacks available, too. Each room is beautifully decorated and features local artwork on the walks. Highly recommend!
The Simpson's (10/5): Lovely quaint Bed and Breakfast - We thoroughly enjoyed not only our stay but meeting the owners as well! Absolutely delightful people and excellent hosts! Our breakfasts were gourmet and the other couple staying there were lovely people with whom we enjoyed our breakfasts. My only disappointment was the bed in Cheryl's Room which was too soft for our tastes. Everything else was excellent! Would highly recommend this B and B to anyone wanting a different type of lodging experience. The area was also delightful with many restaurants and bars/brewery pubs to choose from. We would definitely put this establishment on our go-to's when back in Milwaukee.
Verified traveler (10/5): Quiet and Comfortable - Great spot if you don't want the big hotel atmosphere. The host and hostess were wonderful and the neighborhood has a lot to offer.
Debbie (10/5): Beautifully decorated and very comfortable - The owners go the extra mile. When we arrived there was sangria in the fridge. We had to leave very early. They gave us to go breakfasts.
Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel close to everything. - Nice hotel close to everything. lovely staff. lovely city
Scott (10/5): We'll be back! - We had a great time at The Muse! Mary and Andrew were super hosts!
Mary (10/5): Great find in the heart of it all - A wonderful place to stay in every way. The hosts are so accommodating and kind. The home is beautiful, comfortable and the breakfast was to die for. It is in the heart of Bay View with easy walking to so many spots. I highly recommend!
Verified traveler (10/5): Great bed and breakfast - Amazing food and host mary ellen and andrew were very helpful with suggestions and making our stay more than enjoyable. Lots of great restraunts within walking distance. Will be back.
