  • Awesome holiday trip

    5/5

    Met our daughter and son-in-law here for Christmas/New Years. Had a wonderful, last week of playing games, doing puzzles, reading, etc. The lake was beautiful, the fire cozy, and the house was perfect for our needs. Thanks!

  • Ideal family gathering

    5/5

    Loved the location and the property. It's an older home so some drafts and creaking floors but loved the ambience, the gas fireplace, updated kitchen and laundry is always nice. It was great for gathering of family, playing games and watching football. The house is stocked with everything you need and more. gathering of games

  • Lovely lake house for cozy Thanksgiving

    5/5

    Grandparents, parents, teen, college and young adult family members enjoyed the retro summer camp vibe in this historic house. The glassed in porch with fireplace was perfect for watching the lake and birds. Kitchen fully stocked for cooking our Thanksgiving meal. All bedrooms are on 2nd floor, with just one bathroom one each floor of the house...felt a little less private than we're used to, but the space overall felt so cozy and as if it was our own treasured family getaway...made up for any inconvenience from shared bathrooms or creaky floors. Fun to walk out the door right to lake shore, or a few blocks away to local taverns/pubs for drinks/meal. Thank you for a lovely home away from home for the holiday week!

  • A nice getaway

    4/5

    This house was exactly like it was described. The location was convenient to the entire Madison Area. The two gas fireplaces were used on several cool mornings. The only downside for older adults is that the bedrooms are only accessible by a steep staircase. We enjoyed our stay!

  • Nice Launching Pad to Experience Madison Area

    5/5

    We enjoyed our stay, and similar to other reviews, we found the house to be very clean. We liked all the retro furnishings. And we appreciated the extent it was stocked (way above expectations). Nice neighborhood within walking distance of a restaurant and a boardwalk walking / biking trail.

    The only challenge was I made 2 attempts to ask a question about the property before renting, but apparently the Property Manager (Evolve) did not forward the question to the owner (as I found her very responsive once I had her contact info).
