We enjoyed our stay, and similar to other reviews, we found the house to be very clean. We liked all the retro furnishings. And we appreciated the extent it was stocked (way above expectations). Nice neighborhood within walking distance of a restaurant and a boardwalk walking / biking trail.
The only challenge was I made 2 attempts to ask a question about the property before renting, but apparently the Property Manager (Evolve) did not forward the question to the owner (as I found her very responsive once I had her contact info).

The house was perfectly located on a lake and only a 15 minute drive to Madison. It was spacious and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and everything we needed to cook family meals. We also used the kayaks that are provided and had a great time on the lake. The owner, Kym, was very responsive and accommodating. She brought over an iron we requested and allowed us to check in early and check out late. We forgot an electric toothbrush after leaving and she mailed it back to us. We had a lovely time and I warmly recommend this house.

We found the house to be very clean. We were pleasantly surprised with all of the extra furnished ( not normally provided) items. It made things so easy for us. The games were fun and for all ages. The upstairs floors are a little squeaky - haha- but everything else was great.The yard was a little disappointing. We were expecting twice the space looking at the pictures. We also thought there was a bench on the dock for fishing. The dock is very nice though and if you have a regular boat it would be great for storing. The views are beautiful and the 3 Season porch is fabulous!!The owners were very nice and also helpful. We would definitely recommend this house!

We were in Madison for our son's graduation. We needed a place for our family. This property had everything we needed and more. We will be staying there again.
5.0
We were so impressed with everything about this property! The lakefront location was breathtaking and the home was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated. The property owners offer many amenities that we would typically pack, dish soap/sponge, coffee filters, spices, etc. They have remembered every last detail to ensure a comfortable stay. The lakefront sunroom with its wall of windows was our favorite spot for morning coffee and an evening sunset! We would 100% return to this perfect lake house for future getaways!
