Wonderful place. It's not hard to get to off of 51 North. Felt like it was the right amount of space for my family of 4. About 15-20 mins from the Olbrich Gardens, 20-25 mins from most other stuff downtown. Also 15 mins from Sassy cow which is incredible ice cream.

Paradise

I do not think that I can quite convey how perfect these accomodations are. The photos do not do it justice. You get more than you see in the photos. The property is a shotgun style but quite spacious. There are multiple places to eat as well as a separate gaming area with it's own table and seating. We arrived way after the permitted check in time. However, locating the property and gaining entry were quite simple because of Barb's and Butch's directions and instructions which are quite thorough. They thought of everything, travel mugs and fly swatter included. There are ample labels throughout the property which blessedly took the guesswork out of which light switch goes to what (and there are a lot of lights). I was so impressed by the layout and lighting that I will be implementing them in my own home. This was not so much of a stay, but rather a home away from home. I did not get to speak or see either host and they respected our privacy. In hind sight I wish I had the opportunity to do so. The outside provided lots of on site parking and an additonal patio area and grill for barbecueing. Did not get to use it. The area was peaceful and tranquil. Let me repeat, do not sleep on booking here. It was perfect. I wish I could tell you that something was lacking. But since all my needs were met, I can't think of a single thing where they fell short. Thank you Barb and Butch for being stellar hosts.

A real home away from home

We were very pleased with this lovely property. It is exactly as shown in the photos, it was exceptionally clean and great attention to the details. They have just about everything you could possibly need and even some really nice treats like chocolates and cold waters in the fridge on your arrival. The grounds are beautiful and the location is close to so many of Madison attractions. I highly recommend this property if you are visiting the Madison area. Oh, and the owners are really personable but respectful of your privacy. You will not be sorry if you rent this property.

Perfect grandparenting home away from home

Barb and Butch have provided every amenity one could ask for, from an initial packet of coffee for morning #1 to just about every kitchen tool imaginable. And the location was delightful... close enough (and far enough) from Madison to make getting in and out of the city easy - and deliciously quiet at night. For us, this wonderful home-away-from-home was just the right choice, giving us plenty of time to be with our newest grandchild - as well as a little quiet time to recuperate from hanging out with a 2-year-old! Already looking forward to another visit!

Traveling with friends to Madison to attend a Penn State vs Wisconsin football game we found "A touch of country country living" the perfect VRBO for our visit.
