Our family of 5 stayed at this Monona Lake home for a week in August and enjoyed kayaking, canoeing (paddles need an upgrade, weathered/warped), and just hanging out. The house met our needs for space and lake activities.
The list of amenities included "a gym and tennis courts" - we were under the impression those "amenities" were on-site, but they were not; left us a bit confused how they can be listed as amenities on the VRBO listing??
Overall the house was clean, although when we arrived the scents from the Glade Plug-in Diffusers were overwhelming.
The owners have labeled drawers and provided closet space for guest use. Upon opening the master bathroom Guest Drawer, there were remnants of cut fingernails and black hairs, which was a bit alarming to find. We opted to keeping our stuff on the floor for the week.
The outdoor deck and fire pit areas were nice and we enjoyed using those spaces. The deck rug is covered with mold and emitted a moldy, unpleasant odor.
We used the Weber Grill for cooking several evenings. The first night the gas ran out. After resolving the gas issue, the grill never heated past 300 degrees.
The kitchen was more than stocked with utensils, pans, etc., could use more cereal/salad bowls.
The house is located on the lower end of Lake Monona and is near the highway, so there is white noise from constant car traffic and at times has more of an industrial smell rather than a fresh lake smell.
For the price, not sure we'd return.
