Summer is finally here. Between festivals, the lakes, shopping, dining, and the warm temperatures, Racine is a great place to spend time during the summer. Whether you’re passing through or looking for a place to staycation, there are three places in Racine County that you don’t want to miss out on visiting.
1. Snooze on a Sailboat
Stay Aboard Clementine this summer. Clementine is a sailboat docked at the Reefpoint Marina in Racine. While you can’t set sail and take her for a ride on Lake Michigan, you can spend the night in the boat slip for a one-of-a-kind experience.
Dustan and Betsy Balkom, two Racine locals, rent their boat to anyone looking for an escape. Whether you call Racine home or just want to spend a few nights along the coast, this is the boat for you.
They write it has “amenities like a heated pool with two hot tubs, a ships store, laundry facilities, the delicious Reefpoint Brewhouse restaurant, and top-notch shower facilities.”

2. Book in Burlington
Book a stay in Burlington for a nice getaway. If you like the feel of staying in a small town but want to be in a modern apartment, then The Mart Apartments, 164 E Washington Street, may be for you. Likewise, The Mart Apartments are in the heart of Burlington, near many restaurants, bars, and activities.
The room rates run from $200 to $300 a night. Unfortunately, this location is not wheelchair accessible and not pet-friendly. However, adults and children are both welcome to stay. The Mart Apartments have air conditioning and heating. So, this space is excellent for all seasons in Wisconsin.

3. Take a trip to the Treehouse
Tuck yourself away, but stay in Racine’s neck of the woods. A local Racine resident has converted their space into what feels like a Northwoods escape. This home is a split-level space with a private entry and access.
There are bedrooms, a bathroom with a shower, a living room, a dining area, and a TV to stream Netflix. 4 guests can stay comfortably. There are additional amenities such as a grill, patio, and gazebo.
Abey, who runs the property, is a super host on Airbnb. Additionally, they have received an overall 5-star rating for their place.
