Very Nice Place to Stay
We were in Madison for our son's graduation. We needed a place for our family. This property had everything we needed and more. We will be staying there again.

Stunning Lakefront Getaway!
We were so impressed with everything about this property! The lakefront location was breathtaking and the home was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated. The property owners offer many amenities that we would typically pack, dish soap/sponge, coffee filters, spices, etc. They have remembered every last detail to ensure a comfortable stay. The lakefront sunroom with its wall of windows was our favorite spot for morning coffee and an evening sunset! We would 100% return to this perfect lake house for future getaways!
