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!

Great communication, clean, felt like home away from home. Thank you!

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.

The place perfectly suited our needs. We especially appreciated the packet with helpful tips on the surrounding area. The property manager was very easy to communicate with and you could tell how much they cared about providing a good experience,

The property was as advertised and wonderful for our many trip to Madison. The host was extremely communicative and I feel sure that had we had any issues, they would have responded immediately. Thank you so much for making our first time to Madison so memorable!

Everything about our stay was fantastic! The house was nicely decorated and extremely clean. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. Beds were comfy. Shower was great. A perfect place for our group of friends to spend a long weekend. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here 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!
