This place was in a neighborhood close to other houses. The owners responded quickly and were willing to accommodate with our travel needs as much as possible. We were there for GOTL Thunder on the Strip. We had bikes and cars. The weather was not the greatest they allowed us to ride up early and check in hour early. Then leave the cars while we road bikes down after check out. It would have been nice to have 2 bathrooms besides that all went well. Britni was great at responding.
The cottage was absolutely adorable and very cozy! It was a block from Erie Lake! The owners were very hospitable and generous! I highly recommend the Rosewater cottage! I will definitely stay there again!

About the host
Hosted by Brit & Danny
In Fall 2009, we took a weekend trip to Madison to experience the area wineries, spend a relaxing weekend near the lake, and make some wonderful memories. We not only fell in love with the area, and continued to return each year, but recently decided to plant a flag in the region by purchasing a tiny cottage not far from the water and vineyards we love. When we aren’t there, we’re excited to make it available on Airbnb for others to enjoy. If you or anyone you know is planning a visit to the area, feel free to check out our little cottage. We'd love to host you :)
Why they chose this property
Aside from being a short drive to all the area highlights, we love this neighborhood's walkability to Madison Township Park which offers lake access and is lined by several restaurants and an ice cream shop.
What makes this property unique
Our property provides a clean, renovated "home base" from where you can access all the area has to offer.
