On the water

Lovely property. Well maintained. Plenty of privacy on the deck overlooking the water. Neighbors were friendly. Access by boat to the entire Madison chain of lakes. Short walking distance to excellent boat launch was much appreciated. Some nice dining and entertainment opportunities along the waterfront nearby. A great experience all around.

Beautiful Home With Amazing Amenities

We loved this VRBO. The house was beautiful and had every single amenity you could imagine. It was exceptionally clean and well kept. The fridge was stocked with sauces and condiments and the kitchen had every pot/pan/utensil anyone could need. The patio overlooking the river was a wonderful spot to hang out. I would highly recommend this property.

Ladies’ retreat.

Very clean, comfortable, good beds with massagers, plenty of paper products and a welcome to anything in the kitchen. We loved sitting on the deck watching the boats on the river behind us. As we love games in the evening, the variety available to us was tremendous. Overall, great experience.

Excellent time at the dollhouse.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed are stay. The boat dock was great for my kids to fish off of and the near by bait shop was nice. It was a great location just 10 minutes or so from downtown Madison. Nick and Shirley were quick to get back with us to answer any questions we had. I highly suggest staying at this location. It is very peaceful place to stay.

Comfortable, clean, convenient stay

We had everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable stay and meals together (kitchen was fully stocked). The host was very responsive and accommodating. Our only suggestion would be to consider getting different pillows for the master bedroom - they were a bit high, but others may prefer that. It was a quick drive to get to everything in Madison and easy to get around.

Great fall weekend

The property is new, very clean, well stocked, and has all the amenities you need. Best part is the location, right on the waterway. You can see/hear the highway but it’s behind a wall of vegetation. Less than 10 minutes from the capitol, with easy access to the highway to get around. Communication with property manager was prompt and helpful. Hope to stay here again!
