Very friendly owners, and an over the top breakbast (Can't remember when I had one that good in the US). Hopefully I'll have teh chance to stop by again.

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.

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.

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!

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.
