About this property

Madison Lakefront Cottage, 10 mt to dt Madison ~ 1 mile to bike trail

Lakefront cottage, 10 minutes to Downtown Madison and UW Madison events by car or Uber.

Enjoy the wraparound screen porch overlooking the lake. Go boating, fishing, kayaking. Hiking and biking trails are less than a mile away at the new Lower Yahara River Trail which connects you to Madison via the 1 mile boardwalk bridge constructed for walkers and bikers. Farmers Markets, Outdoor concerts, UW football and other activities are close by. McFarland also has restaurants, bowling, and many parks for you to enjoy and are a quick 5 minute walk.

Historical cottage, includes a portable air conditioner on the 2nd floor, where the bedrooms are, to keep you cool at night. Ceiling fans and an open air design on the 2nd floor allows for flow of air, but minimal privacy, please keep this in mind when renting. Great for families.

Enjoy the wraparound screen porch for relaxing, playing games and enjoying coffee/dinner with a view of the Wisconsin state capital at night. Outdoor sofa, chairs and dining table will allow you to spend all your time on the screen porch.

Once the weather turns cool in Wisconsin the cottage will not be available as the electric heat and gas fireplace are not enough to keep the upstairs warm. We do have a plug in electric heater upstairs for cool nights.

Boat owners are responsible for any damages to the pier or owners boat. There is room on the opposite side of the pier for your boat. Pets are not allowed for any reason and can result in forfeiture of the entire deposit.

Limited to 6 guests, this includes overnights, events/parties at the property. This is controlled by the village ordinance and limited by the owner for the comfort of all our guests. Any lease violations are subject to the forfeiture of the entire deposit. The village of McFarland strictly enforces the local noise ordinance starting at 10pm each night.

This is a historical cottage without updates, please keep that in mind when renting. Hosts are close by if anything comes up.

We loved staying at the lake. The house was as billed and we really enjoyed the location, sunsets, access to the lake, front lawn, etc. I'd highly recommend it and our hosts were great!
