We had a great time utilizing the outdoor deck space at the is property! It also had a spacious kitchen and a fun game-themed living space. We were a little bummed that the river water at the dock was green, making it less enticing to use the kayaks and canoe provided but I’m not sure how the property owner could control that. Location was walking distance from some fun bars and restaurants and a short drive to Madison. Close to bike trails too!

We were a family of four, and we really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cottage on the Yahara River. The three bedrooms are tastefully decorated and the beds are comfortable, with nice ceiling fans. The living room is fairly spacious, with a comfortable sitting area and a large TV for watching family movies. We loved having a private dock where my son loved to go fishing. The owners were super friendly and helpful, and their communication was excellent! We loved using the kayaks that came with the property, and had fun boating to local restaurants and bars. This house is also walking distance to several restaurants and cafes. Overall, we stayed for 6 nights and really enjoyed our stay!

I probably wouldn't leaving such a strong review, although I'd argue the photos of the property were a tad generous, however I don't like cold showers. Some could squeeze out a lukewarm shower if they finagled the handle into just the right position. Otherwise the handle was in a state that turning it to hot did not cause a major temperature change. I can't imagine the handle got into such a state just by sitting there, but maybe we were just unlucky and it had worked just fine for all previous guests. Additionally, the fire alarm system seemed to be malfunctioning during our stay and kept indicating a fire for 2-3 seconds before shutting off again. This occurred a few times during the morning hours, before, around about 4, I reached out to Jake. He suggested disconnecting the specific fire alarm that seemed to be tripping the system and indicated that he'd stop over the next day to take a look at the system. I disconnected one of the alarms, and we were able sleep again. By itself, the alarm malfunctioning isn't really the point of complaint, the main issue was that Jake then never showed up. Thus we slept another night with a fire alarm system whose operating state we weren't sure of. This part was particularly unnerving as I'd argue most fire alarms shouldn't start indicating a fire and then suddenly decide to automatically shut off. We left a note mentioning both of these issues, so if you happen to run into them during your stay, I'd say Jake didn't show up yet again.

We are a bunch of Art Therapy Graduate students from Edgewood. This was our last residency before graduation and we wanted to stay together. You're home was the perfect place for us to finish out our Graduate experience together. In your beautiful home lifetime bonds were solidified! Thank you! You are so welcoming & communicated clearly & timely. You have put a lot of passion & talent into this lake home and it shows! We wish we could give you a TEN star review... but 5 star will have to do! Maybe we'll come back for a reunion some day!

We had an amazing experience with the host and this property. First, the house is extremely well stocked, meticulously clean & well-kept, and delivers on everything the listing says it would. We traveled with three younger children (ages 4-7) and the house was the perfect fit for our family for a long weekend stay. In particular, we absolutely loved the waterfront access and enjoyed the beautiful backyard porch and firepit. As part of our stay, we sent a lot of time in downtown Madison and the UW campus. The house is conveniently located close to the highway and we had a very easy – and short – drive to all parts of the city. The host (Jake) was incredibly invested in making sure our stay was the best possible. He was proactive, and very prompt, with his communication. Additionally, he helped us with some logistics for our trip that were outside the nature of staying at the property. Will absolutely being staying here again on our next trip to the Madison-area!

Updated and clean home with access to the Yahara River for fishing and boating. The location allows for quick access to Madison’s best attractions. We took in a Mallards baseball game, visited the Cave of the Mounds, the Memorial Union Terrace, Capital City bike paths and there was so much more to do and see if we had stayed more than 4 days. Great place to stay if you enjoy treating your family to lake life and all the activities that Madison offers.

Jake, owner, was wonderful! He responded quickly, was extremely informative regarding dinner venues and places of interests. Our home was close to wedding venue, and centrally located for points of interest. The patio was beautiful to sit outside overlooking the River. It was mid century vibe which was unique. We enjoyed our stay and perfect wedding weekend!!

Fantastic few days with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandkids3-8. Loved the house. Location just down the block from great boat launch. Dock at house was a perfect spot to tie up our boat. The deck was perfect for family meals and so great for evening gathering. Kids loved the huge wall Connect Four and the foosball table. Enjoyed kayaking on two provided kayaks. House is decorated very nice. Took many pics for inspiration. Parking was enough for our boat trailer and three more vehicles. Host was super responsive. All needs were met. They thought of everything.

The property itself was perfect for our group of 8 adult laddies! The bedrooms rooms where above our expectations. The full kitchen was perfect for our private chef to come in and make us a memorable dinner and the dinner it’s self was on the back deck on the water as the sunset! It was by far the best girls trip! Thank you for having us Jake! Highly recommended!

Our family of 4 stayed here for Memorial Day weekend. The house was in a fantastic location. We loved being waterfront. We fished and enjoyed the dock everyday. The deck and outside seating are wonderful. The house was spotless and had everything that we needed. We enjoyed the foosball table. Grocery and many restaurants are within walking distance. We even walked to the local Farmer’s market on Sunday. Very close and easy drive into Madison to visit our daughter at the University. We would recommend this host and house and hope to stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this river front house in Monona. We arrived with 7 adults and a 13 month old baby. It was very clean and decorated so cute! Everything that we needed was provided and the communication from the owner was excellent. The beds were very comfortable. It was a short and easy drive into Madison and a nice grocery store is right down the street! We would definitely stay here again!
