Jordyn is an amazingly attentive and responsive hostess. This home is impeccably clean and well maintained; excellent, simple instructions for check-in & check-out; nice location near Madison, Verona, Fitchburg, and Macfarland activities. This was our second year staying there for a weekend. Thank you!

Quiet comfortable refuge

This was a wonderful place to stay for my recent work trip in Madison. It was close enough to the city to be there quickly yet far enough away to be immersed in the nature of Wisconsin. The property was clean and quiet just what was needed after a days work. My host was very reachable and ensured I had all I needed (including letting me know where the tornado shelter was locally when storms threatened). Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Perfect cozy spot

This house was exactly what we were looking for! It was nice and clean, cozy and quiet. The beds were very comfortable and we were able to relax during a busy weekend. It is close to downtown, and the drive to anywhere is so beautiful. The host was extremely easy to communicate with, and answered questions immediately. We were met at the house upon arrival and everything was explained in detail. Highly recommended this place if you are looking for somewhere to relax and enjoy…yet still be close to all the things to do in Madison and surrounding area!

Very comfortable stay convenient to Madison

My husband and I recently stayed at this property to visit family in the Madison area. It worked out perfectly . The interior of the house has obviously been totally renovated and was very clean and comfortable . And we liked that the location was more rural but still very convenient to all areas of Madison . The owner was very easy to work with and very responsive to any of our questions . Highly recommend .

A wonderful waterfront getaway close to Madison

Our stay was wonderful from start to finish, and even before the start. The host Jordyn was friendly and responsive throughout, and couldn't have been nicer. The cottage is clean and well-appointed with air conditioning and all the comforts of home, but on the water. For those interested, there is fishing off the dock just outside the door or at a nearby park. We had easy access to Madison for sight-seeing and then back to the cottage at night for a campfire while staring at millions of stars. We would absolutely stay here again if back in the area. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Experience

We had a great experience in this rental home. It's only 15 minutes from the Alliant Energy Center and in a quiet area. Beds and furniture were comfortable, although it could use a few more kitchen items, we got by just fine. Big plus: room darkening shades! After speaking to the owner of this property about our family's sunburns, she went out of her way to drop off a product she uses herself. Now that is great hospitality. Thank you for providing a great experience, Jordyn.

Charming

Everything was great. Charming property with all the amenities you could ask for. Beds were really comfortable and so were the sheets and blankets. The furniture in living room was perfect to lounge while watching a movie. We were able to use the fire pit one night to cook our supper and dessert. Owner was quick to respond with any feedback needed, but the welcome book was well worded and pretty self explanatory for most things needed. Wonderful stay and if we were to vacation in the area again we would look to see if this property was available again.
