Historic, Vintage, Classy, 11 bed, 5+ bath!
This charming estate will make your special occasion a memory of a lifetime! It offers 5+ bedrooms, four w/private suites, five full baths total, and two more half baths. Suites offer a variety of whirlpool tubs, glass/tile shower, and romantic gas FPs. The large main floor offers a massive kitchen with a double oven, breakfast bar, and two living rooms. Dining room, kitchen table, and bar seat 20. LL offers a 6th bedroom with a new queen bed, a rec room with a new 50" TV, and three more twins.
We own two historic, beautiful homes in Wales, Wisconsin. One of the homes I raised my children in. We have warm homes, and we are warm people. I am a Pastor, and my wife is a teacher, and we are now empty nesters and manage these properties. We care about you having a great stay at our home.
Please read our reviews to see how much our guests have testified positively about their experience with us.
Our desire is to rent to guests who will diligently care for our home and treat our neighbors respectfully. We do not allow large parties. Non-overnight guests are permitted with our messaged permission beforehand, but not in large quantities. We certainly do not allow college-age drinking parties.
The History of James St, formerly known as the Pedlar's Inn.
In the early 1840s, Welsh immigrants Hugh and Elizabeth Elias arrived in Waukesha County. In the mid-1890s, Willam H. Elias, son of Hugh and Elizabeth, built this estate, a 3358-square-foot Queen Anne Victorian. Elias served as the first village president of Wales when the village was incorporated in 1922. William and Mary Elias raised their daughter, Elizabeth, in the home. Elizabeth occupied the estate until it was purchased by the Webb Family in 1938.
Restauranteur George Webb opened his first restaurant on this estate in the 1940s. Only two things were served on the menu: chicken for $1.49 and baked ham for .99 cents. Webb then sold the house, moved to Milwaukee, and opened a new restaurant there, starting the famous chain of George Webb restaurants throughout the Milwaukee area.
In the later period of the last century, Dorothy and Jim Green owned the home and preserved the early Welsh history of it, especially that of the Elias family. In 2001, Dee and Richard Nierzwicki did an excellent restoration of the property and turned it into the famously known Pedlar’s Inn Bed and Breakfast. Dee’s touches are prominently felt throughout the home.
Bed Infomation
For a summary of beds, there are 2 King beds, five queen beds, three twins, and one quality sofa where the side rolls out and expands into a single bed. That’s 11 beds total; if all queens and kings had two people in them, there would be room for 18 in beds.
Of these beds, two queens, three twins, and the sofa bed in the partially finished lower level. The rest of the beds are on the second and third floors. (2 kings, one twin, and three queens on those upper two floors)
Remember that one of the twin beds rolls out from under the kind bed in the 3rd-floor penthouse suite.
Besides the historic and charming interior and exterior, you will love the location and setting. The lawn is large and significant for yard games; there is a lovely patio with a gas fire table and an adjacent wood fire pit area. The home is in the quaint village of Wales. The famous Mama D's coffee shop is only a one-block walk away. In addition, the house is a block away from a paved bike and walking trail that goes from Waukesha to Madison.
Ask Jay about hiking trails! There are many trail systems nearby.
Retzer Nature Center is beautiful and close; you don’t need a permit.
Other State Park trail systems nearby include Lapham Peak and the Scuppernong Trails. Both of those are beautiful! Lapham is more popular and closer (10 min). Scuppernong is about 15 minutes away and more remote, with fewer people. Lapham, you will have to pay for parking, and if there is snow, the trails are for cross country only. It does have a tower to check out with views of the nearby lakes. Scuppernong is always open to hiking, and to park in the lot, you need to pay, but you can park for free on the road, Hwy ZZ, and that’s free. Please feel free to ask questions. There are several other areas to check out. Some of those include Paradise Springs and the Ice Age Trail. The Ice Age trail is not a loop trail.
Please do not enter the barn on the property. That is closed to guests.
If you have an even larger group, consider renting this and our equally impressive historic home just one mile down the road. Could you make sure to book these listings early? The book every weekend and nearly every day in the summer.
