This cute house in Sun Prairie was clean and comfortable, and the hosts who live next door were friendly and helpful but not intrusive. All three beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows and good quality linens. Towels were also plush and plentiful. We will definitely stay here again if we need accommodations in Sun Prairie or the Madison area.

Everything was perfect. You can tell this isn’t simply a rental property, but a labor of love for the owners. They met us when we arrived and gave tour of the property. The first floor master was comfortable and, thankfully, separated from the two 2nd floor bedrooms we shuffled our kids off to. The game room is in the basement, which also gave some peace and quiet. Downtown Sun Prairie was a comfortable walk away. We highly recommend Full Mile. Good food, beer, and staff. We will definitely be staying here again.

We had an excellent stay! This place had a ton of space. I loved the grill. The hosts are very friendly. We certainly enjoyed meeting them, however it did create a certain pressure around the check in process knowing that we had to meet them. (“ it’s part of the check-in process.”) we would stay again if the need arises.

We're glad you enjoyed the house and grill. Greeting guests is our way of explaining unique features of the house, rather than leaving notes on everything. Guests that don't want to meet us when they arrive, should make us aware of this when they book. Thank you for sharing your feelings on this matter.

About the host

Hosted by Randy & Connie Burmeister

Host profile image

The Burmeisters have lived on Dewey St. for the past 49 years and enjoyed raising their family in their 112 year-old four-square home. Connie is a retired elementary school teacher. Randy retired from law enforcement after 43 years of service.

Why they chose this property

Randy and Connie live next door and are the property managers for 213 Dewey St. They purchased this property in 2017 because they enjoy renovating older homes and landscaping. They are committed to their unique historic neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

213 Dewey St. is a classic Cape Cod home. The home was renovated and a first floor master bedroom, master bath, deck, guest bathroom and first floor laundry addition were completed. All mechanicals were upgraded. New kitchen appliances were installed. The wood floors were refinished. The exterior and interior colors are traditional for this 1947 home. And new Arts and Crafts furnishings were purchased to complete the classic feel of this cozy home! We encourage long term stays and family gatherings. Bookings over 30 days have no state and county sales tax added.
