About this house rental

This spacious and comfortable home in a relatively rural subdivision is so close to Downtown you can bike there or take the 10-minute drive. Even closer to the Alliant Center. Comfortable beds, free wifi, lovely gardens, spacious patio and pool with large upper deck.

Rental is limited to a week at a time.

Your comfort is our focus! Close to parks, toys for young children, plenty of books, games and movies. This property is great when you want to relax but so close to great restaurants, sports events, festivals and day trips. Our guest guide will provide suggestions for fun in Madison and Southern Wisconsin.

Participating in the Ironman? We know the route and can get your family on the water to watch you swim. Heading to the Epic gathering? This is a great place to invite friends and unwind around the pool while you grill out. Heading to the Midwest Horse Fair? The owner is a horse owner and can help you find your way around horsey Dane County! And the Expo site is extremely close. A 5-minute Uber ride away. Coming for a Badger Game? We can arrange drop off and pick up so you don't have to worry about traffic or driving!

One note: We have just undergone a massive remodeling and two items remain incomplete: 1) the exterior siding will be completed after August due to material delays. We have installed all new windows, so there are some spots where the Tyvek is showing. 2) We are still finishing our front entry (indoors--new railings, newell posts, etc.) but my carpenter is delayed until at least September. Therefore, we priced our nightly rate lower than other 4-bedroom, 4-bath homes with a pool in the area. It's still very lovely and fun indoors and out! Next year we are remodeling our primary bath!

Note: The pool is only open Memorial Day until mid September.

Please feel free to ask any questions.

The house offers ample space for a group, easily hosting our family of 8, and is conveniently located 15-20 minutes from Madison. The kitchen is newly renovated and quite nice. However, there are several issues to note. First, the house is in a state of construction that should not be allowed for house rentals. Despite some disclosure in the listing, we were surprised by the extent of incomplete work, including rickety entryway stairs lacking railings and exposed unfinished wood (particularly unsafe for children). Also, the bedrooms all seemed to have holes in the walls or were partially under construction. Additionally, the house has a strong, musty pet odor. While this may not be a problem for pet owners, it caused allergic reactions in our group from sitting on furniture and using bedding. The pool, while refreshing, also needs maintenance; the liner was lifting, and the area around the diving board was in poor condition, raising more safety concerns. The cleanliness of the home was also troubling. While appearing tidied, a closer inspection revealed the need for a deep clean. Used toothbrushes and corroded batteries in drawers, dust chunks & construction materials under beds, and moldy toys & cups in the bathroom. Host should be VERY transparent about ongoing work as it plays a major role in decision to rent. Clearly just someone's house being passed off as a holiday rental. Overall, while the property has potential, in its current state, it is unfit for guests.

When we 1st saw this property on VRBO it looked like it would be great for our vacation. Then after we selected it and paid in full, we received more pictures and details of the ongoing construction of the property. First off we arrived about 20 minutes before check-in. House was still being cleaned. When we entered the house we encountered the stairs which we had been told were a work in progress but they were more unfinished and in dire need of repair than we had expected. There were no handrails for the stairs going down and there was only one rail going upstairs that was not well secured. We selected this house because it was supposed to have 5 bedrooms - only had 4. But then when our daughter and husband went to use the bed in the purple room discovered the mattress was bowed and they ended up sleeping on couches in the downstairs rec room. There was a musty smell that permeated the downstairs; not very pleasant. The pool was a major disappointment as it was to be the focal point for fun. The picture on VRBO's site was beautiful. In reality it had an ill fitting/torn liner and there were gaps along the pool that had the potential to cause injury. All the bathrooms were in some state of disrepair or remodeling. The kitchen however was gorgeous! I think repairs need to be done before renting out this house again. I paid in full about 5 months before our trip. There should have been more progress in the completing more work to ready this home for us.

We stayed here for my son's UW-Madison freshman orientation, and it worked out very well. Campus was a short drive away, and we enjoyed the pool and nearby park with pickle ball courts. There was plenty of space for the seven of us, with a well-appointed kitchen, nice deck area, and comfortable beds. The host was very helpful and responsive.

Lisa was a great host. Any problems that occurred during our stay were immediately addressed by her. It was important to her that we enjoy our stay while at her property. I appreciated that very much. My family and I had a good time while in Fitchburg.

Very nice place. Slept 7 of us very comfortably. Spacious layout and nice outdoor deck and pool area. The kitchen was incredible as the stove top griddle came in very handy for cooking up breakfast each morning.

This house was perfect for our large extended family who came to town for a graduation. It’s in a nice, quiet neighborhood but is a short 10 minute drive to the UW campus. Lisa was super helpful and responsive when I had questions for her. When we stayed, the house was undergoing some work (new siding and some work in the entryway stairs) but Lisa made me aware of this before we arrived so there were no surprises. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!
