Amazing/Historical House with lots of room!

With needing a large space to sleep many folks from out of town for our son's wedding, it was a perfect fit. The home was even better than expected with bonus places to sleep, and plenty of room for everyone.

Great family gathering house

This house was great! Spacious, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, plentiful spaces for hanging out and conversing/playing games/watching TV, plenty of towels, beautiful yard and patios/decks, nice Solo Stove outside for an evening fire. Great location, short walk to the lake and playgrounds. Richard was responsive to questions. For our next family gathering, we will likely try to book this place again.

Amazing House in madison

This home was perfect for our group of 7 visiting for a Wisconsin football game! Plenty of room exists inside of the home allowing for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. However, the best part of the home is the ample outdoor seating area that allowed for great conversation from within our group. You will not be disappointed stay in this home!

A great stay for Ironman Wisconsin!

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property! As before very clean, plenty of amenities towels, kitchen tools etc. Lots of space to spread out. I love the peaceful wooded lot! It is SO easy to drive back and forth to the Ironman Wisconsin triathlon course, close to downtown and the run turn around on the Howard Temin path. Is also very close to restaurants and grocery stores. Definitely would stay again!

Amazing and beautiful place!

We had a girls weekend here with 12 girls, and we all absolutely loved it! Such a beautiful house with tons of original charm, and a beautiful property too! The personal touches and effort they put forward for the guests is amazing. From the cute antiques, fully stocked kitchen, towels in every room, firewood and fire starter, and even spare toiletries in every bathroom, this home was truly a gem to stay at! We will absolutely be coming back for another fun weekend!

Fantastic Location/VERY clean!

This house is tucked back on a wooded lot, with a circle drive, making it easy to get in and out of! Lots of little wildlife to watch from all the downstairs windows. A great place to stay for Ironman Wisconsin, as it was a straight shot drive to parking and the race course! Also close to grocery stores and restaurants. We’ve stayed in A LOT of VRBOs and this one was one of the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in! Plenty of towels, and incidentals in case you forget something! We will be staying again! It was a great stay!

A country stay in the city

This is a great house for gatherings of friends and family. It is conveniently located near all of Madison's cultural and recreational offerings, while tucked away on a hidden cove that provides for a peaceful environmental retreat. The home is well stocked with anything you need. Our party had seven adults, two children, and a dog. The decks and kitchen table provided ample room for conversation. I was also very taken with the cleanliness of the home. Impeccable.

Truly spectacular house!

We stayed at the house along with family members. The home was immaculate. Richard was always available by text or email. The bedrooms were beautiful. The kitchen had modern facilities. There were two beautifully decorated dining rooms. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The back porch was supplied with chairs and tables. Our overall experience was terrific. This property was incredible.

What a fabulous place!

No complaints at all. There were 10 women (over the age of 50), the house was clean, nicely decorated and there were plenty of towels. Beds were extremely comfortable. It was close to anything we wanted to see in Madison; ample seating for dinner and for watching the Packer game. The weather was wonderful, but too early for maximum fall colors. The only thing is the coffee machine did not work well. Ten women, and all needing coffee in the morning; the machine only cranked out 1/2 pot in three hours! The next day, we elected one person to get up and start it at 4:00 a.m.; when everyone got up at 7:00 a.m., the pot was barely half full. Now THAT was a bummer. Thank goodness we found some instant coffee in the cupboard. That was the only issue we had. It was a great October weekend for the 10 of us.

Magical home and property

We had a delightful stay in Madison. The home was wonderfully quirky. The yard was huge; my corgi loved his walks outside! Geese, turkeys, rabbits, and squirrels visited. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere, great art, living and dining area for times together, and different spaces for when we had to work. The home was 4 minutes from Whole Foods. And an easy drive to the university, botanical gardens, and amazing restaurants.
