About this property
Why book a room when you can have the whole house!?
Please read thoroughly: We are happy to share our family get-away with you! We acquired this property to use personally and offer it to guests when not in-use by our own family and friends.
As a family, we all chip in to do our own cleaning and maintenance. We are not master landscapers or green-thumbs but we try our best. You will be in a rural setting and all that goes with it such as gravel road dust & mosquitoes to name a few. You will not find hotel corners on the beds and perfect creases in the towels, but you will find a tidy place where we like to spend family time.
This home has made great memories for a lot of guests! No frills!! This is an older constructed home. We cannot offer glitter, sparkle, shine or the latest and greatest technology. We do offer you a spot to lay your head, relax and bond with family and friends. Which is exactly how we use it. We provide basic amenities (bedding , towels & kitchen items) that we don't want to travel with so we share with our guests. We hope you can make memories of your own.
Unit features full kitchen & laundry, living room with gas fireplace and a full bath. This cabin has A/C unit and sleeps 5-6 adults.

*We do not offer private lake access, but we are near public access points like Johnson’s Point Rec Area, Walker's Point Rec Area & others.
*Minutes from the city of Madison (amenities: restaurants/bars, fast food, gas, groceries, automotive, shopping, antiques, entertainment, etc..)
*Minutes from 2 great golf courses - The Lakes & Madison Golf and Country Club
*30 Minutes from Royal River Casino
*Our cabin is cozy and VERY casual. We provide basic amenities and don't charge a cleaning fee. Most of our guests toss a load in the wash and/or do a quick sweep or vacuum when they check out.
*We LOVE dogs and want them as guests too . We try to catch it all, but some dog hair does get past our cleaning efforts. Please help us out by cleaning up after your dog inside and out.
*Private master bedroom features a full size bed. w/ firm mattress.
*2nd bedroom boasts a twin w/ firm mattress and twin/twin bunk-bed. Kids ONLY on top bunk, no adults please!
*Twin bed on a trundle frame off the living area

Hi! We are Keith and Cherie. Together with our 3 daughters, we would like to welcome you as guests to our cabin on Lake Madison. This is family owned and operated and our only vacation rental.
