VRBO gem
The Blue Bell was a lovely historic home a short walk from downtown Oconomowoc. The property has lots of character and has been renovated to retain its charm and also have the conveniences travelers desire. Plenty of room to relax and also working areas for remote workers. The hosts were very responsive. The kitchen, bathrooms, and coffee nook were all well stocked. Would highly recommend this property and these hosts!

Beautiful, modern, spacious luxury apartment in Downtown Oconomowoc
We loved this beautiful, clean, lux apartment and only wished we had more time to enjoy it! The space is charming with historic bones and cozy modern design and plenty of room for our family of 4 (including teenagers who like to have their own space!). Everything was immaculately clean. We rent a lot of vacation homes and the Blue Belle really hits all the details -- e.g. the bedding/beds here were lux and very high quality, which is always such a plus. Location-wise, you are a very short stroll to the beach and downtown Oconomowoc, and close to all of lake country. Overall, we were so impressed with the Blue Belle that I made a note of the owner's full set of properties because we would 100% stay at any of their homes the next time we are in the area!

Everything was as shown in the listing. It was very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. There were thoughtful touches throughout, and the bedrooms were very unique. Jason communicated everything we needed to know in a timely manner, and check-in/check-out was a breeze. Oconomowoc is a cool town with beautiful neighborhoods, a good amount of outdoor activities and a nice selection of shops and restaurants. What a great place to visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Belle. It was very nicely decorated, it had all the amenities we could have hoped for, and the communication with Jason & Melissa was great. The location was also great as we were able to walk right to the downtown area, restaurants, and lakes. Thank you for having us Jason & Melissa

We were so pleased with this property! It was tastefully decorated and everything was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect, a quick drive to downtown and very accessible to the freeway.

Our group of six had a wonderful time in this large and clean home. It’s bigger and nicer than it looks in the pictures even. It was very well appointed with coffee fixings and lots of good cooking tools, wine glasses, etc. everyone thought it was cute for our girls weekend, and was nice and walkable to downtown yet still quiet and comfortable

Golf Trip
My father and I stayed at the Blue Belle for 3 nights while on a golf trip playing The Club at Lac La Belle golf course. We were extremely happy with the property and the hosts. We could not have had a better time and the place was exactly as advertised. We would absolutely stay here again. We were only a short walk to downtown and the lake which was great. I also would highly recommend going to dinner at the Italian restaurant Lago Su Bella which was about 4 blocks away. The view of the lake from the restaurant was great and the Ricotta Gnocchi was unbelievable.

Unbelievable stay!
I've rented a lot of Vrbo type properties over the years and this is by far the best I've ever been to. The attention to detail, the wonderful styling, a million little loving touches put in… It's obvious that the hosts care deeply and have put every single but of expert hospitality into this rental. I've never felt more at home, and it's in a beautiful area to boot! When I couldn't find coffee, I asked the host about it and almost immediately a bag of organic coffee was delivered outside of our door. Incredible! I couldn't recommend this place more highly and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We needed a place to stay for a family gathering in Oconomowoc. The rental was conveniently located just blocks from downtown. The apartment was very clean and very charming. There was an ample supply of towels and other necessities in the rental. I would highly recommend the apartment for those able to do steps. I would rent again if the need should arise. Lovely place.

Clean, stylish and spacious stay!
We really enjoyed our time at the Blue Belle while staying for the weekend of my husband's triathlon in town. The location offers just a perfect walk into town for pastries, ice cream, or dinner (and it is very close to the great beach park). The apartment is more spacious than expected and it had plenty of room for a family with children. Well stocked coffee bar, comfortable beds, and very fun unique decor details all around the space. We had responsive communication from the owners. We'd stay again if we are in the area!
