About this cottage rental
Lakefront cottage, 10 minutes to Downtown Madison and UW Madison events by car or Uber.
Enjoy the wraparound screen porch overlooking the lake. Go boating, fishing, kayaking. Hiking and biking trails are less than a mile away at the new Lower Yahara River Trail which connects you to Madison via the 1 mile boardwalk bridge constructed for walkers and bikers. Farmers Markets, Outdoor concerts, UW football and other activities are close by. McFarland also has restaurants, bowling, and many parks for you to enjoy and are a quick 5 minute walk.
Historical cottage, includes a portable air conditioner on the 2nd floor, where the bedrooms are, to keep you cool at night. Ceiling fans and an open air design on the 2nd floor allows for flow of air, but minimal privacy, please keep this in mind when renting. Great for families.
Enjoy the wraparound screen porch for relaxing, playing games and enjoying coffee/dinner with a view of the Wisconsin state capital at night. Outdoor sofa, chairs and dining table will allow you to spend all your time on the screen porch.
Once the weather turns cool in Wisconsin the cottage will not be available as the electric heat and gas fireplace are not enough to keep the upstairs warm. We do have a plug in electric heater upstairs for cool nights.

The Madison Lakes are great but please know that they are green and have algae in them. Please look at www.publichealthmdc.com for quality of water. If you want to jump in the lake, please do away from the pier and shoreline. No diving from the shoreline or pier as it is shallow water.

Our group of five women meeting for a college reunion weekend, had a wonderful stay at the cottage. The house matched the description on the website perfectly. It was clean, well stocked and very cozy. Communication with the owner was smooth. I would recommend the maple tree super club that is within walking distance-great food, and ambiance. I highly recommend this property for a small group gathering.

We loved staying at the lake. The house was as billed and we really enjoyed the location, sunsets, access to the lake, front lawn, etc. I'd highly recommend it and our hosts were great!

This historic cabin provided a great long weekend escape for 4 adult sisters. The wrap-around screened porch is great. One suggestion: We were all curious about the history of the cabin, how old, who built it, etc. It would be interesting to have some of that information for guests. We hope there is success in reducing/removing the algae from the lake.

Charming older lake front cottage with screened porch and kayaks to use. Room AC units up and down stairs work fine but not necessary most of the time because of lovely lake breeze. Host was great to work with!

The space was spectacular, close enough to Madison and far enough away on a very picturesque Lake. We got incredibly lucky with the weather and it was so awesome to end the day on the Pier having a drink with friends.

House is super cute and the lake access and proximity to Madison are great. It is small and dated and is "an historic cottage" like it says in the listing. A/C units are only upstais in bedrooms, and its much cooler with doors open so not good if you need privacy. Downstairs is warm but with the windows opne and the screened in porch there was always a good breeze off of the lake. Good stay if you're not spending tons of down time at the house.
