It is a nice idea but poorly executed. I am 80 with heart probs and was not told I'd b walking up with my luggage to the 3rd foor. There's a notice in the room apologizing for the room not yet having been renovated which should have been explained before selecting the place. It explained why the room was so dreary and shoddy. Didn't want my skin to touch anything.

The owners have amazing gardens and the property looks out onto the lake. It is on a busy street. Since it is an old house, it is noisy. The decor is arts and crafts. I would go back.

Maybe more breakfast options would’ve been nice and there were some bugs (but that’s to be expected given the location), otherwise very good

Lovely restored vintage property with tons of character and a killer view of Lake Mendota! Our Oscar Wilde room was so spacious and we had a corner view from both windows and a separate sitting area plus a surprisingly big bathroom with updated shower and tub and lots of amenities on hand; king bed very comfortable and thick towels a bonus on a cold night! Best part of our morning was the extra special ready made coffee and selection of scones and mini quiche and bread options with local touches (excellent jam and tea choices) and a wonderful setting to enjoy it all in one of several sitting areas, complete with views! Bob was wonderful, despite having had a late nite dealing with a guest issue who forgot key or code, and we appreciated the on-site parking off street ;) We will plan to stay again hopefully sooner vs.later - thanks again!

Our stay was awesome, the owners were very accommodating despite a huge screw up by expedia double booking our room. We did not have room at check in despite all the email notifications saying welcome and the check in instructions, etc… the owners worked it out and our stay was awesome! Super huge thanks to them! Shame on expedia…

It is a charming old house. Owners on site were friendly and nice. Only stayed one night. I'm a light sleeper and there is plenty of creakiness to be heard and occasional banging/noise from pipes etc...just be warned. It is after all an old house....but we did have a nice stay. =)

Excellent location for walks, restaurants and the Capital, Mendota House also looks over Lake Mendota (duh). The view is awesome. There is a lovely community space to sit and sip tea. Everywhere you look there is art and plants. The owners are Covid- conscious, which is important. I appreciated their continental breakfast as well.

Love staying at the Mendota Lake House, the location and view can't be beat. The Virginia Woolf room is spacious and has a great view. The king size bed is very comfortable. The breakfast is excellent, really enjoyed dining with the view of the lake. The Christmas decorations made the home even more beautiful. Can't wait for our next stay.

It would be PERFECT if there was an acceptable breakfast. We stayed two nights. At each time, before 9 AM, there was no more bread, no more juice,no more sugar, no more eggs… And no staff, to help us. It’s not correct.

Mendota Lake House Inn is a lovely place to spend a quiet few days, surrounded by a beautiful garden, with easy access to much of Madison and a wonderful view of the lake. The owners have managed to combine period charm with high quality artisanal details, resulting in a comfortable place to relax after busy days in the state capital. Here and there are signs of long years of wear, but everything is serviceable and clean.

Absolutely loved the Walt Whitman room with balcony. Spent most of the time outdoors gazing at the beautiful view of the lake sitting in the treetops. Found our new place for rest and relaxation. Salvatore’s tomato pies is a short walk with exceptional vegan pizza and vegan chocolate cake! We will be back!

One night stay while on a road trip and it has the best features of Madison- especially location. Sadly, we had to leave before warm breakfast but the coffee was excellent (I am picky) and scones were tasty. The Walt Whitman balcony was perfect on a warm and sunny afternoon.
