October Stay on Lake Waubesa
We were there at the start of fall and the gas fireplaces were awesome both for the ambiance and warmth on cooler days. The view from the sunroom was wonderful. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view from there. It had a nice mix of modern amenities (updated kitchen and baths) and rustic charm. The neighborhood was very cute. We walked our dog quite a bit and enjoyed views of the lake side homes and the lake from all around the house. Plus there are two parks both within walking distance of the house that are very nice.

A nice getaway
This house was exactly like it was described. The location was convenient to the entire Madison Area. The two gas fireplaces were used on several cool mornings. The only downside for older adults is that the bedrooms are only accessible by a steep staircase. We enjoyed our stay!

Nice Launching Pad to Experience Madison Area
We enjoyed our stay, and similar to other reviews, we found the house to be very clean. We liked all the retro furnishings. And we appreciated the extent it was stocked (way above expectations). Nice neighborhood within walking distance of a restaurant and a boardwalk walking / biking trail. The only challenge was I made 2 attempts to ask a question about the property before renting, but apparently the Property Manager (Evolve) did not forward the question to the owner (as I found her very responsive once I had her contact info).

Very Nice Place to Stay
We were in Madison for our son's graduation. We needed a place for our family. This property had everything we needed and more. We will be staying there again.

Stunning Lakefront Getaway!
We were so impressed with everything about this property! The lakefront location was breathtaking and the home was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated. The property owners offer many amenities that we would typically pack, dish soap/sponge, coffee filters, spices, etc. They have remembered every last detail to ensure a comfortable stay. The lakefront sunroom with its wall of windows was our favorite spot for morning coffee and an evening sunset! We would 100% return to this perfect lake house for future getaways!
