Fabulous! Highly recommend. We were in town for a death in the family, and this was a wonderful reprieve from the heaviness of grief. The sunsets were unreal. The view of the lake is gorgeous. A few family members came over and enjoyed kayaking and canoeing. The property is on a dead end and very quiet. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful home on the lake with lovely views. Plenty of room with multiple areas to gather, play games or watch TV. The house is on the Lake Loop trail so easy to walk or bike (there are electric bikes to rent within walking distance, which was great!).

My Family and I have been staying in VRBO's for quite a number of years now. This property rank as probably our all time favorite. It was Laid out beautifully, Clean, well located for what we were doing, it had plenty of kitchen supplies to more than meet our needs, and the setting was beaautiful. Addittionally, the host responded to my question almost instantly [ which i greatly appreciate]. I had absolutely no complaints. This property is high on my list for a return visit.

Went to Madison for the Ironman and the property was in the perfect location. Also was great for morning walks as there is a bike/walking path a block away. I would definitely stay here again

There weren't a lot of options since we booked late for a stay in Madison. This location had 3 bathrooms which sealed the deal. It was located in a great area on the lake. We had a very comfortable stay and had everything we needed.

Lake Life: Madison edition

We had a fabulous visit at this Lake Monona gem! The property has stunning views, is well stocked, clean, and spacious. We had 8 adults staying in the house and enjoyed meals and socializing both inside and outside. Beds were comfortable. Easy ride to downtown Madison/State Street. Would definitely come back.
