Capacity The house comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, with the option for more if you bring an airbed or use the couch for sleeping. There is only one full bathroom, but the spacious layout allows for flexible arrangements and storage.
Accessibility The home is accessible with only one step to enter, and once inside, there are no steps. However, due to the home’s age, some floors are slightly uneven, which may be a concern for guests with limited mobility.
Parking Parking is straightforward, with an outdoor driveway adjacent to the house, providing space for several cars or a truck and a boat.
Pets Dogs are welcome with a pet fee, but no cats are allowed. Please keep pets leashed, as the neighbor’s dogs are typically leashed as well. Clean up after your pet, both indoors and outdoors.

Stay Duration Bookings are accepted for stays of 2-30 nights. Longer stays can be arranged by contacting the host.
Building Structure Built in the early 1900s, the home is stable but has uneven, creaky floors due to foundation settling.
Bugs and Nuances Occasional encounters with ants, spiders, fruit flies, or earwigs may occur despite regular pest control. The property is near the water, so noise from cars, boats, and other lake activities may be heard.

Home away from home
Home is very nice and comfortable. We came in to take care of our son who attends Dakota State University and your home was very accommodating and felt like home. Will definitely book again!
Very much enjoyed our stay here! It was such a a cute place. Looked like everything redone/updated in the home. Close and convenient to Madison. There were so many thoughtful touches for the guest including to go cups with creamer and sugar for coffee, all the necessary bathroom supplies so you don't need to pack your own - with extras in case you forgot your toothbrush! Check in was easy and convenient with a code lock and communication was excellent with rapid responses to my texts. Will definitely look to stay here again next time we come through!!!
