A real home away from home

We were very pleased with this lovely property. It is exactly as shown in the photos, it was exceptionally clean and great attention to the details. They have just about everything you could possibly need and even some really nice treats like chocolates and cold waters in the fridge on your arrival. The grounds are beautiful and the location is close to so many of Madison attractions. I highly recommend this property if you are visiting the Madison area. Oh, and the owners are really personable but respectful of your privacy. You will not be sorry if you rent this property.

Excellent Place in Perfect Location

This was the cutest place and the hosts were great! Barb was super sweet and made sure we had no issues. Place is exactly like pictured and super clean. If ur heading to Madison and don’t want to stay in the city, this is the perfect place! You’re super close to the city, but you don’t have all of the traffic and noise. It’s a very peaceful place to stay!

Wonderful accommodations and nice people

The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. They put a great deal of effort into making clear instructions, including labeling wall switches for ease of use. Kitchen was well appointed and loads of room. Washer and dryer were bonuses for us as this was the last stop in our tour of WI. Would definitely stay here again.
