The home was beautifully redone and very comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked and it was noticeable how nice and fluffy the bath towels were. It was perfect for the four of us and an easy Uber ride to the college campus!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Craftsman duplex. The unit felt practically brand new, and it was clear the owner put a great deal of thought into every detail when outfitting the space. It had every amenity we needed, making our stay both comfortable and relaxing.The owner was incredibly accommodating from the start, with thoughtful welcome messaging and several excellent restaurant recommendations that we truly appreciated. The location is ideal for visiting the University of Wisconsin, and we loved how easy it was to explore the area. Pheasant Branch Conservancy is a wonderful short hike nearby and absolutely not to be missed. We also enjoyed being able to walk right into Downtown Middleton for dining and shopping, while Madison was just a very short drive away.As one small and lighthearted suggestion, a second foot stool in the living room would make an already cozy setup even better.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.
