About this property

Why book a room when you can have the whole house!?

Please read thoroughly: We are happy to share our family get-away with you! We acquired this property to use personally and offer it to guests when not in-use by our own family and friends.

As a family, we all chip in to do our own cleaning and maintenance. We are not master landscapers or green-thumbs but we try our best. You will be in a rural setting and all that goes with it such as gravel road dust & mosquitoes to name a few. You will not find hotel corners on the beds and perfect creases in the towels, but you will find a tidy place where we like to spend family time.

SUMMER 2026: New exterior paint & stain. If you stay, you may notice this is at different stages of completion. This is a DIY job done between guests.

This home has made great memories for a lot of guests! No frills!! This is an older constructed home. We cannot offer glitter, sparkle, shine or the latest and greatest technology. We do offer you a spot to lay your head, relax and bond with family and friends. Which is exactly how we use it. We provide basic amenities (bedding , towels & kitchen items) that we don't want to travel with so we share with our guests. We hope you can make memories of your own.

Unit features full kitchen & laundry, living room with gas fireplace and a full bath. This cabin has A/C unit and sleeps 5-6 adults.

*We do not offer private lake access, but we are near public access points like Johnson’s Point Rec Area, Walker's Point Rec Area & others.
*Minutes from the city of Madison (amenities: restaurants/bars, fast food, gas, groceries, automotive, shopping, antiques, entertainment, etc..)
*Minutes from 2 great golf courses - The Lakes & Madison Golf and Country Club

*Our cabin is cozy and VERY casual. We provide basic amenities and don't charge a cleaning fee. Most of our guests toss a load in the wash and/or do a quick sweep or vacuum when they check out.
*We LOVE dogs and want them as guests too . We try to catch it all, but some dog hair does get past our cleaning efforts. Please help us out by cleaning up after your dog inside and out.

*Private master bedroom features a full size bed. w/ firm mattress.
*2nd bedroom boasts a twin w/ firm mattress and twin/twin bunk-bed. Kids ONLY on top bunk, no adults please!

The only thing we struggled with was internet. My hotspot worked so we got by just fine, but keeping the tv connected was extremely difficult. Otherwise everything was clean, well stocked and a great get away for us!!We were able to relax and just depress. Nice walking path near by which we enjoyed every day we were there. The neighbors we encountered were friendly. Host was responsive when needed.

The house was perfect for a getaway for 2 and even a few kiddos if needed. The kitchen had the basic amenities for cooking which was helpful for our week stay! The living room had lots of games to choose from which was fun! Not to far from town too. We loved the fire pit and outside area but unfortunately we didn’t get to use it during our stay but maybe next time! Thank you for hosting us!

We have been wanting to visit this area in SD and chose this adorable cabin. It was perfect for us. The weather wasn’t that great and it was much nicer in this house than a hotel room. It’s very convenient to Madison and the state parks. We will definitely be back!

Worked great for us. Not fancy. But has what you need. Could use a good cleaning and no access to the garage so you have to park on street. Price was accurate. Host was responsive!
