The house was great! Roomy enough for everyone to spread out. The house had everything we needed to prep for the various events for my son's wedding. The property was on a beautiful lotand the neighborhood was very quiet. Richard was very responsive when we accidentally tripped the circuit breaker. Would definitely stay again.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Clean, quiet and great location

This house is located close to a Main Street heading to campus but was set back in the woods and very quiet. The house was clean and spacious. We didn’t have an opportunity to cook or hang out much but I would recommend this house.
