The grounds and surrounding landscape were absolutely idyllic - we were even treated to a pair of sandhill cranes strutting near the backyard ponds! The house offered excellent space for numerous guests, and had good sleeping arrangements for the 11 adults in our group, tho we would be hard pressed to see how 3 more would fit (the description said sleeps 14). The decor and furniture were rather dated, and the BBQ space proved to be dangerously smoky when used as the exhaust fan did not work and ventilation was entirely inadquate. These issues were the only real drawbacks to an otherwise perfect facility for a group/family gathering.

This property was great for our family reunion. Six of us stayed there, but the house was a great gathering place for all 20 of us. Lots of room to be together; lots of places to break out into conversational groups that ebbed and flowed. We particularly enjoyed the two porches and walking the extensive grounds.

Clean, spacious, and scenic. A recommended private space to have big groups in comfort. Large beautiful private yard with its own pond as well as multiple spacious interiors, sun-room, screened patio, game room basement and a nice backyard hot tub. Home is full of natural light and kitchen has lots of space. Comfortable clean bathrooms. All only a 15 minute drive from most shops/food but the house is surrounded by scenic woods and fields and just the sounds of nature . A fantastic place! We stayed to visit the House on the Rock for a great long weekend.

Was able to enjoy and accommodate family!

The house had tons of space and the property was awesome. Kitchen was well stocked with various items and lots of condiments in the fridge. Big issue was the inaccuracies in the listing. The number of bedrooms was incorrect and the number of adult guests it said it could sleep was incorrect. We were short 1 bed for two adults vs what was described on the listing. I messaged the owner about this and he never replied. We ended up having to buy a air mattress. There was no check in or check out procedure anywhere. Not in the listing or at the property. We did our best when checking out but without instructions it’s hard to know what they want you to do. Neither of the gas fire places worked and the hot tub temperature wouldn’t get fully up. Lastly after checkout the owner without messaging me requested an additional $100 for not putting away dishes and for some stain that he was unable to provide evidence of. You cannot charge for not put the dishes away when you don’t give explicit instructions. Overall it suited the need for the weekend skiing with a large group but needs a bit of effort from the owner to improve the listing.

Big, clean and perfect for a large group.

Family gathering in lovely spacious home with great amenities (hot tub, pool table, ping pong, sun room) and large outside space. Enjoyed all the interior space, beautiful country side views, sunrises/sunsets and the walking trail!

This place was great and perfect for what our group was looking for. Very large, open spaces and bedrooms with lots of amenities. It is not far from Verona or Mt Horeb but it is out in the country in a private drive so there are no disturbances. The added bonuses of the garage access, hot tub, wet bar and game tables only made this place better. The owner was great and responded quickly to questions. He also stopped by once and helped get the hot tub running and also was quick to shovel snow due to some that fell during our stay. I would agree with some of the other reviews that the decor was outdated but that is not something we look for in a rental for our annual getaway. Will absolutely be coming back here for future trips!

Everything was perfect! Very clean and well equipped place.

Overall we had a great weekend. One of the deciding factors on this property was the game room and hot tub because we were limited to outdoor activities. We were hoping for snow and frozen pond but Mother Nature did not cooperate. So we were super bummed to find the hot tub empty. They did come the second day and fill , as it was a new hot tub apparently but unfortunately it wasn’t until the afternoon and it took 12 hours to warm ti temperature and that was well into the morning hours so we could not use . House was larger than expected and gave us tons of room for socializing, eating and hanging out. Overall it was a good rental.

Scott was very responsive to all of my inquiries leading up to and during our stay. This home is tucked away off the beaten path and has plenty of room for family gatherings. Enjoyed the Christmas decorations they put up. There are some aspects of the home that need some TLC - shower railings loose and hot tub not operational.

Great property designed to maximize beautiful views and countryside. Close enough to Madison to be convenient yet nestled in rolling farmland with amazing views. Perfect for our holiday weekend.

The house was perfect for our family weekend. It was nice to have enough room for everyone. The location was lovely; peaceful, beautiful and quiet. Would stay again.

Great space for our group of 6 adults, 2 kids to stay for a family wedding in the area. Some communication issues with the property manager. Decorating is dated, but a great stay. Met our needs well. Near a nice bike trail.

We had an awesome time, running around with the kids and dogs. Plenty of room for everyone!! Great game room in the basement!!! Would go back in a heartbeat

Pros: Lovely location. House is very large and there was lots of space for family to gather. We voted to return again next year. Cons: A lot of deferred maintenance. It needs to be spiffed up a bit. Queen mattress in upstairs bedroom needs to be replaced. Very saggy.

Place was great plenty of space and amenities

The property and home are beautiful. The separate grilling room and grill with direct propane hookup was a pleasant surprise. The basement rec room, hot tub and all the other amenities made it a great getaway.

We had a great time. The check in process was incredibly easy and the house/property was perfect for our event. I would highly recommend this VRBO

Very nice house and plenty of room for big groups in a beautiful area. 25 minutes from down town Madison bars.

We booked this house for a family birthday and there was something for everyone. The kids had a ball running all over, my dad enjoyed fishing in the backyard ponds, and there were plenty of spaces to connect over games and meals. The property manager was very helpful and easy to work with. We would happily stay again!

Great time and great property! Will definitely come back every year!

This home was perfect for our weekend family gathering. The home and grounds are beautiful and clean. Host was gracious and accommodating.

This house had all the space one would need and more. There was a pool table and ping pong in the basement that the kids enjoyed. We all loved walking around the pond and seeing all the birds. Would stay there again.

Great stay

Could be a little cleaner and carpets need cleaning. Also needs to have freezer space available. Otherwise nice big house, great views and fantastic basement. Scott mostly available for communication.

Beautiful location - lots of space

We brought a small group into town to go to the Nebraska/Wisconsin game and this made the perfect location. There was a bedroom and bathroom for everyone (we basically each had our own floor) and plenty of communal spaces. We made our own breakfast each day and had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was also great the place was pet friendly. It's not fenced in, but is very open and private - plenty of room all-in-all. Great stay and would definitely go back again in the future!

I had high expectations after reading the reviews, and it still managed to shatter my expectations. This house was huge with abundant space and sleeping options. The basement is amazing with a ton of entertainment. We didn’t have trouble getting an Uber to Madison from here or vice versa. I’m going to find an excuse to go to Madison just so that I can stay here again!

Worked great for our family get together. Home is very large and accommodated our large family. The home was very clean. In great condition and the property manager, Scott, was awesome. Very inviting, responsive, and attentive if needed. The property is also beautiful, and great for family walks. Highly recommend.

House was great! Tons of room and several bathrooms was perfect for 12 ladies. Views were great to relax and beautiful sunrise views to drink coffee in the morning. I would absolutely stay here again.

This property is great for a group of adults. It is very spacious and the property is beautiful. We would stay here again!
