A beautiful home that felt very comfortable from the moment we checked in. A great location, only about 15 minutes from anything you would want to do in Madison. Kitchen is very well stocked and the common space is very inviting. Beds are super comfortable. Having the use of a washer and dryer at a longer stay was very nice.

We had a lovely girls weekend here with my mom and sisters. Beautiful backyard area on the water. So peaceful and a lovely place to have coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Shirley was excellent at communicating. We were even left a welcome gift of some delicious cheese that was made BY THE OWNERS! Everything was wonderful.
