The home was gorgeous, clean and the pillows were the best. Since it was a quick trip, we did not get to meet Barb. Really enjoyed it and hope to rebook for next year's horse fair. Felt like home!Rhonda

We had a wonderful stay at Barb & Butch's beautiful guest house. It is located conveniently close to Madison but is in a quiet suburban area surrounded by a peaceful neighborhood. The house is absolutely spotless and in perfect condition. Kitchen is stocked with coffee, spices and basics and nothing is missing. Full laundry room (we didn't use in our short visit), easy parking, comfortable beds, cable TV, great neighborhood for a stroll with friendly neighbors. Would recommend for your next stay in Madison if you want a spacious get-away that's quiet and comfortable!

What a beautifully appointed home in De Forest! We enjoyed staying at this property with our college-age sons over the 4th of July weekend. Barb & Butch were gracious hosts, and we enjoyed talking with them. The home has everything you need and more! It is close to Madison, and we were able to get to places we wanted to go within 15 minutes or so. We enjoyed seeing fireworks over Lake Monona from Yahara Place Park. The next day, we had a lot of fun exploring Madison by bike. We did the Lake Monona loop which was just lovely. We ended at a biergarten with views overlooking the lake. We always looked forward to coming back to the very clean, comfortable & beautiful home in De Forest. The patio overlooking the farms was very relaxing. We highly recommend, and we will be back!! Thank you, Barb & Butch!

This beautiful home is one of the best VRBO's I've ever stayed in (and I've stayed in quite a few throughout the country). It was the cleanest and neatest home ever! The communication with the hosts was excellent. I wish every VRBO was like this one!! Enjoy your visit to the Madison area in this home.

Excellent property! Very clean, great location, quiet, and a perfect choice if you have limited mobility. Stairless entree with at door parking & step in shower with plenty of safety bars and a seat make this property more comfortable than home. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a location in this area.
