Our stay at this property was an overall great experience. The view was amazing and all communication/accommodations were very simple thanks to the host. Would recommend!
This is a spectacular, bucolic, well-situated property near the town of Verona and only 20 minutes from Madison. The kitchen was great and the open floor plan made it easy to sit and enjoy conversations with the larger group we had. It was perfect for our family with two bedrooms (one bedroom with en-suite bathroom) upstairs and three bedrooms downstairs. All rooms are comfortable. Only downside for us was that we had 6 adults in the three downstairs bedrooms and we all shared one bathroom. We recommend this house for your family’s vacation. The view out the living room window is one of a kind!
The house was clean, spacious, and filled with light, with lots of windows looking out on acres of woods and hay and corn fields. Located on a dead end road, there was no traffic noise and no lights visible at night. We enjoyed hiking on the Ice Age Trail nearby, biking on the Badger State Trail, swimming at the Verona High School Aquatic Center. and picking strawberries, as well as going into Madison for some great Thai food. This is a perfect house for a family, with lots of room for kids to run outside and a closet full of toys for all ages. I would highly recommend this house for a group looking for a relaxing vacation with lots of outdoor activities nearby and just a few miles from Verona and Madison.
