My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Clarence Gonstead guest for two weeks in June. It is a great place, cozy and comfortable with plenty of space for two people, a well equipped kitchen and even a terrific sound system set up with a great play list. The cottage is a only a short walkable to the center of town, but feels like you are in the country because of the large lot and beautiful gardens. Very quiet. Hosts were superb; friendly, welcoming and always helpful. They felt like old friends. Aside from the shops and restaurants in town, there is a lot to do in the area: biking (a nice trail runs through town, and the roads are also safe), hiking (try the Ice Age Trail or Blue Mounds or Governor Dodge Park), swimming (Gov. Dodge), picnicing, theater at Spring Green (about 30 minutes), and tons to do in Madison, which is only about 30 minutes away (you can even bike there on the trail from Mt. Horeb). We will be back and hope to stay at the Cottage on future visits.
