This beautiful and immaculately cared for family home provides the perfect setting for a comfortable vacation. Situated on a road with no through traffic, there is a steady stream of joggers and bikers ambling by in front, and an occasional boater in a small corner of the lake behind the house, with a view of woods across the way. An outdoor deck overlooking the water provides the perfect place for relaxing with a morning cup of coffee. The open living area on the main floor contains extremely comfortable furniture, a large dining area and a well appointed kitchen. The main floor bedroom is massive, with a view of the lake and its own large bathroom. The lower level provides your choice of bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large den also overlooking the lake. The owners have gone to great lengths to make your stay comfortable, and are extremely responsive to any questions that might come up. Amenities that we didn’t even have time to use include a firepit by the lake and a side patio with a gas grill. I would recommend this house to anyone wanting a relaxed time away.

There weren't a lot of options since we booked late for a stay in Madison. This location had 3 bathrooms which sealed the deal. It was located in a great area on the lake. We had a very comfortable stay and had everything we needed.
