It’s a beautiful spot just a short walk to the lake and pier with a nice bench. I enjoyed my walks there several times a day. Mind you, I am in my 80’s so this is from an old persons’ perspective. I stayed pretty much in the main floor where there is a small bedroom with a most comfortable queen bed. The bathroom on this floor has a walk in shower, which is important to me. It also has a safety bar, for any other old people who might be looking at this. The accommodations on the lower lever are awesome, two most comfortable queen beds, an accommodating bathroom, with a step-in tub. It’s a walk-out level, which is quite nice, with a patio, fire pit, beautiful yard. The stairs to the lower level are steep and narrow. Because I’m a bit physically challenged, I found them to be intimidating, so I stayed pretty much on the main level. Kitchen is ok, suitably equipped for cooking. Keith was awesome, answering all of my questions quickly. I felt very welcome.

Quiet and Convenient Escape

We really appreciated how close we were to Madison and how calm/quiet our location. Having the lake close by was a great way for us to quickly relax/unwind after a busy day given our itinerary.

Short but enjoyable stay

We stayed here for three nights on a brief trip, just needing a place to stay with our dog. We had quite a bit of fun during our stay. The nearby town of Cambridge is completely charming. The Lake access is nice, although we did not have a chance to use it. The cabin is well appointed. Scott and Keith were very helpful in getting us oriented to the house and the area. We have talked about returning!
