Summary: This is such a phenomenal house. It is beautiful and wonderfully decorated, it is incredibly comfortable, and perfectly met the needs of our family. Kym was phenomenal, left a pack and play in the home for our toddler and let us check in 2 hours early to give my toddler a place to nap. Remarkably kind people and a wonderful stay, couldn’t recommend it more!

Summary: Grandparents, parents, teen, college and young adult family members enjoyed the retro summer camp vibe in this historic house. The glassed in porch with fireplace was perfect for watching the lake and birds. Kitchen fully stocked for cooking our Thanksgiving meal. All bedrooms are on 2nd floor, with just one bathroom one each floor of the house...felt a little less private than we're used to, but the space overall felt so cozy and as if it was our own treasured family getaway...made up for any inconvenience from shared bathrooms or creaky floors. Fun to walk out the door right to lake shore, or a few blocks away to local taverns/pubs for drinks/meal. Thank you for a lovely home away from home for the holiday week!

Summary: We were there at the start of fall and the gas fireplaces were awesome both for the ambiance and warmth on cooler days. The view from the sunroom was wonderful. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view from there. It had a nice mix of modern amenities (updated kitchen and baths) and rustic charm. The neighborhood was very cute. We walked our dog quite a bit and enjoyed views of the lake side homes and the lake from all around the house. Plus there are two parks both within walking distance of the house that are very nice.

Summary: This house was exactly like it was described. The location was convenient to the entire Madison Area. The two gas fireplaces were used on several cool mornings. The only downside for older adults is that the bedrooms are only accessible by a steep staircase. We enjoyed our stay!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay, and similar to other reviews, we found the house to be very clean. We liked all the retro furnishings. And we appreciated the extent it was stocked (way above expectations). Nice neighborhood within walking distance of a restaurant and a boardwalk walking / biking trail. The only challenge was I made 2 attempts to ask a question about the property before renting, but apparently the Property Manager (Evolve) did not forward the question to the owner (as I found her very responsive once I had her contact info).
