We really loved our stay at the Brumder Mansion. It had every element that we look for in a bed and breakfast - history, proximity to activities, great conversation, and delicious breakfasts. The house is small enough to give a quaint feeling, but it is large enough to offer privacy, and it is in excellent condition from top to bottom.

Both Tonja and Tom were able to give us a lot of background information about the mansion and about Milwaukee in general. It can be a challenge to be creative with breakfast foods, but Tonja's breakfasts were always exceptional and never boring. Plus, the house was always stocked with refreshments including assorted local beers and cookies. Finally, we were a very short drive to the Miller Brewing Company, the Basilica of St. Josephat, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Pabst Mansion, and the Harley Davidson Museum, all of which I would highly recommend touring.

We fell in love with Milwaukee, and we are looking forward to visiting the Brumder again soon.

We decided we wanted a small, intimate, and classy wedding reception. Tanja was so helpful. She was my helpful wedding coordinator. We were able to stay the night prior and set the theater up how we wanted, Tanja and Anita helped us with all the decorations. At the end of the night I turned the light off, took a deep sigh, imagined the next day, and was filled with excitement; it looked perfect. The next morning my Dad, his wife and I were served the most amazing breakfast. Stuffed french raisin toast with strawberries and apple sausage. I was a very happy bride from that moment on. It was a great start to the day. Upon arrival for the reception, we were greeted by our guests and Tanja. It was perfect! Guests commented all night long how unique and classy The Brumder is. Everything was perfect that whole evening. We were able to have 19 guests stay with us that night and it made for the a great ending to the night to be able to say good night to our closest family and friends. The morning breakfast we great. The quiche was so good. It was fun to wake up and see all our guests again. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the day. We thank Tanja for her hard work and dedication to making our day complete bliss.
My husband's 40th birthday is coming up and I wanted to go somewhere quiet, romantic and special. I booked a night at the Brumder for us, same room, The Marion. Of course we requested the french toast for breakfast. I can't wait. Anita was so helpful and cordial in making the reservation. I can't wait to see "my special people" again.

Tonja is a wonderful & friendly manager, as are the lovely owners! Great healthy breakfasts and plentiful. The complimentary beer, wine, cookies and beverages are a plus! We couldn't ask for better on our 1st trip to Milwaukee and would go back again!
You could unwind with a movie or DVD in your room.
If anyone had a bad time here, it was their own fault!

My wife and I stayed at the mansion for a wedding reception. We arrived the night before to help set up all the decorations and tables in the ballroom. The staff were all there cleaning and doing all they could to help to make this the most memorable, wonderful day for everyone! We stayed 2 nights and wished it could have been more. I didn't think I was a bed and breakfast type of guy, but we had the most relaxing, absolutely wonderful time.
We had 2 nights in 2 different rooms (our choice). The staff took care of transferring all our luggage and things to the other room. We didn't have to worry about a thing. They are all very trustworthy and reliable.
The breakfast both mornings was delicious and over the top. The staff were all so friendly, cordial, and welcoming. We feel they are part of our extended family now. It is not everyday that you get a "God Bless You" and goodbye hug from your hotel staff. We will definitely be putting this on the top of our list as one of the nicest places to stay in Milwaukee....
