Busy Madison Weekend

Our weekend was quite busy with a wedding on Saturday and my son's triathlon race on Sunday. This rental provides lots of space to move and sleeping choices in a very quiet area.

Convenient and Filled a Need

Only needed a place for a couple of weekend nights to be able to lay down for a bit and get some rest and then back out of the house to Madison again in the late mornings into the late evening hours. Items in house are a bit dated. For only being needing for two nights and not needed for any daytime activities or lounging around the house it filled the need and as priced the value offset any real items of note.

Space for All!

We booked this location for our family (plus a few bridesmaids) for our daughter's wedding in Deerfield. We loved how secluded and peaceful the property was - with enough space for togetherness but plenty places for everyone to get ready. I only wish we would have had time to take advantage of the outdoor spaces as well. Brian was a friendly host with great communication.

Family

We rented this while we were in town for a funeral, there was plenty of space and beds for everyone. As one reviewer mentioned, the show is on the smaller size but worked good! We had good communication with the host beforehand and the distance to town & the lake was perfect!
