About this property

Original cozy farmhouse homestead 2 blocks from the bike path and

  • I live on the eclectic East side of Madison Wisconsin. My house in over 100 years old and is one of the original homesteads in the area (back in the day). This house is a 2 story house with 3 bedrooms, full bathroom upstairs and 1 bathroom with shower downstairs. Full kitchen and living room, fenced in back yard (dog friendly) with a fire pit for those who enjoy an evening campfire. The propery comes with an attached 3 seasons porch with a bar if one wishes to sit inside and chill. I live 2 blocks from the Madison bike path that will take you everywhere around Dane County. This bike friendly community offers a great opportunity to tour all of the local breweries throughout Dane and surrounding area. Please come and experience Madison, the State Capital, awesome State Street (which is a must visit if you have never!), Willy Street ( another must visit for an awesome cultural experience) and SO SO much more. Saturday’s farmers market around the State Capital is definately a stop in the morning to get a coffee in one of the local coffee shops and walk around and experience all of the local vendors offering organic foods! Madison, A great place to be.

Great place!

We enjoyed our stay, we were in town for the Ironman race. Liked having a house instead of staying at a hotel. Next to bike paths so easy to do a ride or ride into town. House was clean & it was the best stocked house we’ve stayed at on VRBO. She thought of everything you would need!

Fantastic Stay on the East Side

The location is great-- walkable about a mile from the many fine shops and restaurants of the east side. The garden and home were beautiful and very nicely maintained. Only (very minor) caveat is that folks with mobility challenges might have trouble on the second floor stairs to the bedrooms.

Great place for graduation weekend!

The house was so convenient to campus and worked really well for our family for UW graduation. Kate communicated clearly and promptly and there were fresh baked goods for us on arrival! The house has a record player and some great 70s and 80s albums that we really had fun listening to while we played games. Highly recommend this place!

Unique, fun and great for Celiacs!

We had a wonderful time visiting for a UW game. The house and yard are delightful! We enjoyed playing records, hanging out in the yard and the well stocked kitchen. An additional bonus is that Madison has many gluten free/ Celiac safe restaurants! My daughter ate out at several delicious places and had a great time. The owner is very attentive and available. I would definitely stay here again!

Lovely weekend getaway

My friends and I (2 couples and a single) stayed here for a friend's wedding on the east side of Madison. The location was very convenient, with Uber rides into town at about $10. We also enjoyed the nearby Olbrich gardens and bike paths. The house itself is charming and has all amenities. It is a bit creaky so you'll hear every footstep of your housemates during the stay, but it wasn't too annoying.

Wonderful

This was a wonderful experience. The host was very accommodating. Our stay was over Christmas, and it was nice to have a little tree. She left wonderful goodies and the house was very inviting. I would be quite happy to stay there again. Most important, I felt my furry friend, my dog was very safe. We took walks in the neighborhood and enjoyed quiet times when not visiting family. Thanks to Kate for a very enjoyable visit.

Quiet respite

We stayed here for the weekend of our daughter's wedding in Madison. It was a super busy weekend, and although we did not have a lot of time at the house, it was wonderful to be able to have it for a quiet respite. My husband had a nice nap in the outdoor "zen space", and we all enjoyed the snacks which Kate left for us. I highly recommend! Janet

Cozy

Well, my wife is looking at property in Madison following our stay. We came to town for a wedding. We loved exploring the area surrounding the VRBO on foot, and also found much to see and do in the downtown area. This house was a spectacular home base at which to recharge. It had everything we needed, and was visually pleasing with the warm lighting and wood finish. This would be a good place for entertaining a group, or for a bunch of introverts to chill out and read.

Ladies trip with fur babie

Property was exactly as listed, easy to find and had the most inviting and relaxed vibes. The home is absolutely adorable and the backyard is fantastic. I never worried that my very athletic, herding dog would be able to escape and roam the neighborhood. If your a pet mom or pet dad, you know that's always a big relief to have your fur babie happy and safe. This place is definitely a 10 out of 10 would recommend. Don't tell everyone otherwise we can't get in again, because everyone will want in on this hidden gem.

Family trip to Badger game!

We had a group of 6, ages 16 to 60, along with our dog. We all agreed.. this will be our “go to” place whenever we come back to visit. Kate our host answered every question about going to a Badger game (it was our first time).. so don’t be afraid to ask questions! We have more family in the area and the back yard was perfect for a fire that evening after the game so we could all visit ( nice quiet neighborhood and neighbors… very family friendly). Exactly what we needed after spending 8 hours downtown at the Badger game. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Cozy home away from home for Thanksgiving

Four of us stayed over Thanksgiving week. Kate was a great host. She left out dishes for us to use for Thanksgiving dinner, checked often to make sure we had what we needed, left us baked goodies and some potatoes/vegetables for our dinner, and gave suggestions on places to go nearby. Communication was excellent from the time we booked all the way through the stay. The fenced yard for the dogs was very helpful; Kate’s listing is by far the most dog-friendly we’ve seen on any hosting sites. The listing does not show it clearly but there is a 4 seat dining area. Kate left us an extra folding table that worked great for a larger group. Also, the bathroom in the basement is listed as a half bath but it is actually a full bath with a shower curtain door. This house would not be good for anyone with issues going up and down stairs but it was perfect for us. Very cozy and comfortable with plenty of extra towels and blankets and a fully stocked kitchen. Thank you Kate for a wonderful home away from home.
