Great Stay Close to Madison!

We had a peaceful stay at Joan's place. Her home was in a beautiful, quiet rural location yet close to downtown Madison and it's surrounding suburbs. The home was clean and had lots of space (we brought our dogs along too.) Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and the yard was perfect for walking our dogs.

Best of Everything

The house was just perfect for our long weekend in the Madison area. The property is on the edge of the farms and still close to all the restaurants and things to do. Having a nice big yard to enjoy really made it for our dog as well. Such a relaxing getaway! We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Spacious Countryside Home

Very nice, clean, and spacious home on the countryside. We enjoyed the firepit outside and the house is close to a local (small) airport landing strip. Very fun to watch the small Cessna-like planes land and take off. We were able to sleep 9 in 3 bedrooms and a pull out futon as there was room in the bedrooms to have an extra (air) mattress. The only concern was that the dining room table picture on the website shows an 8 top but it is actually a new table with a 6 top, but we managed as they have a beautiful deck with a large picnic table that seats several people.

Quiet Stay in the Country

My husband and I were in Madison for a dog show. We like to find properties that have yards for the dogs to run in. Although this yard is not fenced it is excellent for dogs and humans. Plenty of space. The house is a good size with lots of light. The two bathrooms were perfect and the kitchen had the most utensils and dishware I have ever seen in a short term rental. It is in the country but very close to everything you need. The owner is friendly and welcoming. The house is clean and the beds are comfortable. Stay here!

3 night stay in Middleton

This property was great. Our kids had a lot of fun playing inside and outside, and kids enjoyed some cucumbers in the owners' beautiful garden. This is certainly on the outskirts of Middleton, but it was an easy drive into Madison for activities.

We loved our stay. The house was comfortable and clean. It had all the amenities. The location was spectacular, and the backyard was super peaceful. Joan was a great host and communication was easy. There are three bedrooms for six people and a full-size futon, which is great for our group of 6.

Felt like home

My husband, my 21 year old dtr and I were in Wisconsin to visit multiple family members and friends in the Madison area. This house had plenty of room, it had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. Joan even gave us fresh produce from her garden! The views of the rolling fields are beautiful and we felt like we were out in the country, yet we were only 10 minutes from a large grocery store and 20 minutes from most family.
