About this property

ONE OF A KIND vacation rental with a view

Arbor Hill House - Unique A-frame vacation rental perched atop a hill with great views overlooking the Beltline, UW Arboretum and the city of Madison. Excellent central location with easy access to all parts of Madison and surrounding areas. I'll be happy to do whatever I can to make your stay a pleasant one. This is my personal home so please keep things clean and be respectful. This home should not be used for parties or events. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I look forward to sharing my home with you.

(Corona virus concerns? -- I do all the cleaning myself, so I know the place is kept very clean. For example, I use sanitizing wipes on all of the door knobs, light switches and TV remotes throughout the house. I use a fabric disinfectant spay on all the furniture and throw pillows. The towels, sheets and blankets are washed with a sanitizing soap and dried extra long at high heat in the dryer. I have hand sanitizing soap and wipes available for the guests to use. I would argue that my place is one of the best germ-free places you could be).

This is a unique home that is super clean and had everything needed to cook, entertain (we played games & watched football) and accommodate any family. The location was close to downtown, the interstate, and airport. Plenty of restaurants were nearby as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay again.

This property was perfect. It was full of character and even had well cared for house plants. Loved that the patio had a ceiling so we could sit there during the rain. All beds were super comfortable. I just can’t think of anything negative!

Beautiful home

Location wasn't too bad, just off of the beltline. Probably a reasonable walking distance to restaurants and stores on fish hatchery road, but we drove due to the weather. The house is very nice, especially the upstairs loft.

About the host

Hosted by Josh

Host profile image
I have owned what I call the Arbor Hill House for 20 years. I have recently refurbished the interior and have prepared it to be used as a vacation rental. My goal is to turn the home into a very unique and comfortable place for my guest's to use as their home-base when visiting Madison. It will always be a work in progress with the hopes of turning it into the best vacation rental that it can be. I will usually be nearby to help my guest with anything they may need. I'll look forward to hearing any suggestions from my guests about how I can make this a great place to stay.
