The house was immaculate and very well decorated. The kitchen has almost everything you need for your stay. The bathroom has all necessities including shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The owner was prompt and got us the code on arrival. We will definitely stay again.

Nice little getaway

Charming little house in Madison, with good access to downtown. We had a great day exploring the shops and the winery and it was nice to come back to a snug little space. We did not have trouble with noise from the saloon but it seemed pretty low key despite a party weekend. Hosts had clear communication with us.

Chautauqua of the Arts weekend

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Wee House! It was super clean, had everything that we needed and more, beds were super comfortable, the view of the river was very nice, and the close proximity to everything that we wanted to enjoy was convenient. We would stay there again for sure!

Small but nice.

Place was very clean-this is at the top of my list for importance in rentals. Super cute little place. Nice deck in back with seating. Quick two minute walk to river! Hosts were AWESOME. I cannot emphasize this enough. Fantastic communication, very kind. Things to be aware of, depending on your situation and needs: Must pass through one bedroom to reach the next, and no doors or curtains to give privacy. Futon only seating in living room; may be difficult to get up from if you have a bad back or bad knees. Bar directly across street; was a bit noisy on weekend, but was quiet during weeknights. Overall a great little place with close access to the riverwalk and a view of the water. Madison is wonderful, and we enjoyed our stay at Wee House for a full week!

Loved sitting out on the deck and watching the river.

We had some issues with the "list of things to do when checking out" ... We didn't do exactly as it required and were billed another $40 for things that would have taken 10 minutes to do.. I disagreed with this charge.

Disappointing

Before renting this beautiful, little cottage named the Wee House, be sure to check out all 65 things listed under Amenities. We didn't. At the bottom you will find a Note: "The Wee House is located across the street from the 1st Street Saloon." Amenity? Saloons can be very noisy with the loud mufflers of motorcycles and pickups coming and going until 3AM closing and parking in front of the Wee House. Noisy patrons and loud music (including live music on the weekends) contribute to this. Occasionally a loud, heated argument will break out in the street next to your rental car, a few feet from the front door of the Wee House. We understand that none of this is under the control of the owners of the Wee House. Their refusal to refund any of the 11 days we had remaining when we felt compelled to abandon the property after one night is fully within their rights. So if you enjoy nightlife and excitement, the Wee House is perfect for you. If you value sleep and the safety and security of your family, you might want to look elsewhere.

Small but perfect little place to stay

Tea on the porch looking over the river at sunrise - the mist rising. Perfect. Close enough to main street and restaurants to find something to eat in 10 minutes but away from downtown foot traffic during the day. There is a saloon across the street that gets busy late at night but didn't bother us. Nice little kitchen. Loved it. Clean and friendly!

This is a great little house perfect for 2-4 people. We were able to walk everywhere. The only time we drove was when we went to the hilltop (north Madison) and when we went out of town. Being able to see the Ohio River from the kitchen and back porch was a great feature. The owners were great to deal with. The home comes equipped with enough kitchenware to fix and eat meals. The check-in and checkout process was very simple. Madison is great town and the Wee House is the perfect place to stay.
