Wonderful conveniently located home for a large family

This vacation rental was perfect for our family visit to Madison. The 6 bedrooms easily accommodated our group. The setting is perfect, with easy access to the university, the Capitol and the lakes. The secluded wooded property makes you feel like you’re in rural Wisconsin, although it is situated in the city. There is abundant wildlife, including herons, turkeys and deer. The home makes you feel as if it is a family dwelling with its’s comfortable furnishings, games and beautifully stocked kitchen. I recommend it highly for a large family or group!

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.

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.

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!
