Brumder Mansion Bed & Breakfast — Hotel in Milwaukee

My husband and I stayed here one night. It is a beautiful place, lovingly maintained. I'd read reviews about it being located in a bad area. That wasn't our experience. We didn't feel afraid. It seems to be a diverse, lively neighborhood. We were also pleased to be able to park behind the house next door. Julie, one of the owners, was very welcoming. She took the time to talk with me about the odd things that she's experienced in her home. Tom, the innkeeper--not to be mistaken with Tom, the owner--gave us a tour of the mansion and also made us a killer breakfast in the morning, which we enjoyed in the lovely breakfast nook off the dining room. Besides being delicious, the portions were perfect. The coffee was great, too. Among the amenities we enjoyed were a whirlpool tub, a refrigerator on our floor stocked with water, pop, and wine, and a plate of homemade cookies. There were only a couple of downsides. There was no cable. I missed that. They do have an immense library of movies on DVD and we ended up being entertained by watching Freevee. The air conditioning--which I was glad they had--was quite noisy. It sounded like the wind howling out on the prairie. I turned it off at one point to see if it was, indeed, the source of the noise. It was. To be fair, it didn't bother my husband at all. We had a suite, so I slept in the adjacent room and was happy as a clam. Beds in both rooms are very comfortable. Unfortunately, we didn't have any paranormal experiences, but it was still quite a nice stay. I'd wholeheartedly recommend a stay at the Brumder--especially for folks who love history and are interested in...

To be fair it is my first experience but after this one I do plan to do more in the future with my wife. I will for sure come back to this location but with a bigger group. ||||Upon entering we were welcomed by two gentlemen by the name of Tom, one of which is the owner. We were given a tour of the house with knowledgeable facts about the history of the property ( I wont share any details because it's best to experience this for yourself). Its a beautiful approximately 8,000 sqft property and the majority of the design/woodwork are the original. There is a modern AC system which can be controlled in every room which we were thankful for. ||There are two parking spots in a secure location behind the property otherwise you can park on the street if you prefer to. It is in a growing part of town, if you are not from the area rest assured it is not in a bad area at all. I will be sure to add some photos later. We did not experience much paranormal activity but it was only one night so maybe next time. ||||The staff members are all very polite and available for any assistance. the hospitality is phenomenal here. upon waking up we were invited to an amazing breakfast. ( I will post pictures when I can) ||||Thank you Tom and Tom for an awesome experience at the mansion. Looking forward to seeing you...

I could find several things wrong but, also several things great. It's what you look at.||First off I'll say the owners and Inn keeper were extremely nice and helpful. To stay in a historical mansion is a cool experience. The wine, beer, water and cookies were a great perk! Morning coffee and breakfast were also good. The woodwork and tile work in this home is beautiful. ||This is obviously an old home the floors creek and dust happens. Nothing to complain about but, know what to expect. ||We stayed in the Emma room. The motor on the hot tub was so incredibly loud we turned it off. Same with the electric fireplace. We turned it on for ambiance while we were in the hot tub and between the two we couldn't hear each other talk. Also, The bed was very uncomfortable to me. My husband slept fine and I tossed and turned all night.||I wasn't aware that this is a known haunted home. In the middle of the night I felt someone tickling my neck, I jumped awake and chills shot through me. My Husband was sound asleep. In the morning I googled haunted houses in Milwaukee and saw a TV interview the owners did. I didn't feel any dark energy but, I did feel a presence. ||This is my experience I wouldn't say I don't recommend it or I recommend it. I'd say it depends on the experience you're...
