We enjoyed our stay here. Most of the rentals we have stayed in were more rural, and I was a little afraid it would be too noisy, but that wasn't the situation.

Wonderful Getaway

My mom and my sisters and I stayed here for a girls weekend. We had a wonderful stay. We did some day trips into Madison, but New Glarus has some cute shops, great places to eat, interesting scenery, etc. The beds were very comfortable, the water pressure was good. Plenty of dishes for 6 people. Nice seating area to eat, play games, put puzzles together. Felt very safe walking around. It is near the Sugar River Bike Trail. I would definitely come back and bring bikes. There is a wonderful winery with great views and good food. There are a couple of playgrounds and a pool in town for young kids. Teri was easy to work with. Very positive experience. Would definitely come back.

Great Getaway!

The “Holy Cow” house is a charming home and very comfortable. Very easy to walk downtown for shopping and food. Terry was a wonderful host, and even had some cookies waiting for us from the local bakery. We would definitely recommend staying here when visiting New Glarus.
