There was no lake view or lake nearby. Our host was attentive and quick to respond. The house was very clean and felt remote with easy access to running and biking trails and only 10 - 20 minutes from everything. Quick walk to Riley's Tavern for Sunday football was a bonus.

This is a very spacious, quiet and clean home. It has everything you need (kitchen items, towels), It's located away from town but not too far away. Beautiful winding roads and hills in the area, along with many options for walks/hikes/biking. Several deer came nearby the house to say hello. The host, Scott, was very responsive. We had a great stay!

We had a nice getaway for three generations of our family. Great bonus of being so close to the bike trail. We enjoyed being out in the quiet, but close enough to find plenty of restaurants, mini golf, escape room, etc. Loved the sun room and the space to play games and do puzzles.

Scott was a fantastic host - very responsive & easy to work with! Lots of room for us to spread out & relax without feeling we were on top of each other! Hot tub, pool/pingpong table & foosball were as shown & greatly enjoyed.Also had several hot games of cards at the kitchen table!!Loved the sunroom too! The listing did say "pool" but apparently an above ground pool was recently removed. Not a problem at all for us as we wouldn't have had time to use it anyway.Very convenient for our family - we will likely be back!

We had a fantastic short weekend at this beautiful home. He allowed us to bring our dogs, and they equally enjoyed the enclosed porch and large home. The home was very accommodating, it had everything I needed to cook breakfast and dinner. The hot tub and bath tub were heaven sent, as we both work in the Industry and warehouses and loved the relaxation. There were in home activities for adults and kids, ping pong and pool table and a soccer table and even a sega genesis. I wish we had more time to visit the pool, thats a must on our next trip back. It was a nice, quick reset. Definitely worth it. The owner was amazingly helpful and responsive too. We will be back!!

A Great Vacation Spot
We had an incredible stay. The house was beautiful and close to Madison. Scott was a communicative host that made check in and check out simple. The house was large enough for a big group and had a ton to do between ping pong and foosball

4th of July long weekend
This is a very spacious home with plenty of room to spread out. We had 3 kids ranging in age from 14 to 18 months. We appreciated the fact that the downstairs bedrooms are completely separate and away from the game/TV/hot tub because the baby could sleep and not hear us enjoying the other part of the downstairs. We also enjoyed the indoor hot tub because it would have been too hot to enjoy an outdoor hot tub. Scott the owner was very helpful with pre-arrival details and check in

Scott Hosts an Amazing Place
We were in Madison for a swim meet and stayed at Scott’s place with another swim family. The house easily sleeps 8. I would say t could comfortably handle 12 with air mattresses. Hot tub was amazing. Kids played ping pong and pool for hours. Thanks for eating us stay Scott. It was awesome.

Rescheduled family gathering
This property was a great backdrop for our rescheduled family Christmas. The home was well maintained, clean and very roomy. The twin home was not a problem as we didn’t see or hear the resident next door. Private, quiet, we were there during a 1ft snowstorm. Deer crossed the back property in the morning.. Scott was a nice guy and took good care of us. A great stay.
