Our stay was very pleasant and only marred by cold, rainy weather, which stopped us from fully enjoying the deck and dock. Two pelicans entertained us during the brief respite from the rain.

We had a fantastic stay at this adorable lake house! The accommodations were perfect for our family of 6 adults - especially the beds! Great location to visit our son who attends UW-Madison and plenty of restaurants nearby. Jake was amazing with communication for check in and check out. Highly recommend!

The host was very accommodating. Very nice place to stay. The only thing I would change is the upstairs bathroom fan was loud for those staying in the upstairs rooms. Other than that I would highly recommend and will be staying again if I get to Madison.
