What a great place! Completely private and secluded, nestled in the woods. The cabin sits on top of the highest ridge around (you have to take a couple of switchbacks to get up to the top!) The cabin itself is really cool, very rustic with neat period decor in every nook and cranny, but all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The porch on the west side of the cabin, overlooking the pond, with two rocking chairs and a porch swing, is where you will spend most of your time. The sunsets over the pond, with rolling hills in the background, rival the best sunsets I've ever seen (Maui, Malibu, etc.)! Only 15 minutes to downtown Madison, but you feel you are in the middle of nowhere. If you are looking to unwind, this is your place, will definitely stay again. And bonus, the pond has bass!

I wish I could fit a whole experience in one review! We came to Madison for a music festival and decided on a stay out of town, and boy am I glad we did! This spot is a gem. The details put into the decor, and the way if feels comfortable yet back-in-time is amazing. The quiet comfy weekend away was a much needed reprieve, and we intend to be back!

Relaxing Getaway

Cabin and property are beautiful! The old cabin has a lot of charm and is well decorated. Porch that overlooks the pond was one of my favorite spots...spent every morning out there with a cup of coffee watching the wildlife. If you want a relaxing place to get away from it all for a bit, I would highly recommend this cabin!
