This wonderful home had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Its spacious layout and convenient location near grocery stores, restaurants, and downtown Madison made it the perfect base for our trip.
Weekend trip to Madison with friends for Badgers basketball game. Great spot not far from downtown and airport. House was in great shape everyone enjoyed their stay.
The house was perfect for a co-worker Galentine's Day gathering. There were good gathering spaces for everyone, or for parts of our group, and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking.

Madison FUN
Great place for a friends or family Madison visit. We will definitely come back again some day. Very clean, unique and FUN property that accommodates groups well.
Excellent location with beautiful view of the canal. Kids enjoyed watching the ducks and squirrels. Had everything we needed to enjoy our family quality time
Beautiful property in a wonderful neighborhood. Truly an ideal location nearby nice places to eat and trails to bike/walk on. The check-in process was seamless and the home is robust with amenities. Would recommend this property in a heartbeat for anyone looking to share a space with larger groups of people.
We had a great time in our trip. House was clean with a bunch of entertainment and near plenty of things to do. Owner was super responsive and accommodating. Thanks again!
The house was perfect, the host was attentive and prompt with questions, the area was welcoming. Would love to come back when the weather is warm so we can take advantage of all the water activities and outdoor entertainment.
We had a great time at the lake house! Every room was very clean and very nicely prepared! They beds were incredibly comfortable and the showers were awesome! Plenty of room in the main floor, kitchen, patio, basement and backyard for a large group! Host was great with communication even when we arrived!
We loved our stay at this property. We visited in the winter so were unable to take advantage of all of the outdoor beauty but the hot tub overlooking the waterway was wonderful. We were in town to experience all that Madison has to offer including a Badger men’s basketball game. Easy access to state street and the Capitol area with short rides. House was clean and well set up with comfortable beds, great bathrooms, and shared areas for enjoying time together. We would definitely return!
We loved the property and the location. Very convenient to the water way and downtown. It was a great, comfortable home for our family. The kids loved the kayaking and paddle boards as well as fishing. The home was super comfortable with plenty of things to do both inside and out. It was a wonderful weekend. Thank you!
Easy to find, clean, had a lot of the essentials, liked that everything was labeled. My adult kids loved he pool table, darts, and Centipede video game. Had a lot to offer for the whole family. My only complaint would be that some newer frying pans are needed. Thank you for a great stay!
Perfect Stay in a Peaceful, Fun-Filled Home Near the Expo
We enjoyed a relaxing stay on Winnequah during the World Dairy Expo. So many positives to share. The neighborhood is peaceful, and the house itself spotless, spacious, and really comfortable. The beds were comfortable, and the modern bathrooms included plenty of soft towels that felt like a treat. We loved the great acoustics for playing guitar and had a blast in the entertainment area with classic PacMan and Centipede arcades, darts and a pool table. The large deck, overlooking the water and beautiful trees, was perfect for enjoying meals together. The location couldn't have been better—so close to the Alliant Energy Center. We are already planning to book for next year!
Everything about this house is beautiful--waterfront, kayaks, hot tub, paddleboards, pool table. Nice and clean and very nicely outfitted. The only reason for a four star review is the advertised price compared to final price after hidden fees. Hidden fees added 50% more to the cost.
My friends and I came for a weekend to go to a football game and found the place to be clean, well-equipped and located a very short drive away from everything in Madison!
We were in Madison for work and needed a place to rent last minute. The property owner was so gracious and attentive. The property is very well appointed and the setting is wonderful. I highly recommend renting here and will do so in the future!!
