There weren't a lot of options since we booked late for a stay in Madison. This location had 3 bathrooms which sealed the deal. It was located in a great area on the lake. We had a very comfortable stay and had everything we needed.

Lake Life: Madison edition

We had a fabulous visit at this Lake Monona gem! The property has stunning views, is well stocked, clean, and spacious. We had 8 adults staying in the house and enjoyed meals and socializing both inside and outside. Beds were comfortable. Easy ride to downtown Madison/State Street. Would definitely come back.

Perfect lakefront spot

We had such a wonderful weekend at this house. The house was clean and exactly as pictured. The fire pit and outdoor areas were perfect for hanging out with friends and the neighborhood is perfect for walking or biking around the lake.

We saw great blue herons, pelicans and cormorants all fish about 10 ft off shore. The house was clean and quiet - a perfect getaway from the craziness of graduation weekend in Madison.
