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.

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.
