Wonderful stay! Right in the middle of the action for the All Wright event going on at Taliesin. Host communication was very friendly and helpful. Aunt Margaret’s House was the perfect retreat for my All Wright weekend!

This was a very comfortable cottage that suited our needs for a weekend in Spring Green to a T. Our host, Jeff, was patient and helpful with us as first-time vrbo customers and was very accessible when our keycode did not work. One phone call and we were in. Lovely place to relax in.

Spring Green revisited

It was an ideal place for a brief stay in the area. It was clean,quite comfortable and an ideal location to explore the area.The only downside to the property, for us, was the traffic noise.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Jun, 2024
Glad you liked the house. The extra-thick insulation helped cut the noise, but can't handle everything. I hope to have new shrubs and trees to help cut the noise even more in the near future.

Potential to be great. Not very clean, screens ripped, grounds over grown, mirrors only im bathrooms, soap dispensers 1/3 or less filled and watered down, bare bulb lighting, dull and chipped knives, no shampoo conditioner or blow dryer. Location amazing, facility greatly lacking

Wonderful tranquility

The cottage is beautifully updated and very well maintained. It still has the feel of your grandma's house. It's cozy and inviting, and the lower level has a spacious kitchen, counter seating, dining area and living room area. This is a great space to decompress, so if you want screen time you will have to bring your own. But we had a great time connecting face to face without them. I highly recommend this property.

Great little cabin in the woods

Aunt Margaret’s was a great place to feel away from the hustle and bustle but still close to all of the local activities. It was comfortable for four adults. If you’re a light sleeper, you’ll hear all of the creaks that come with a home with history. Jeff was fantastic with communication, and I’d highly recommend a stay when in town!
