Perfect for our weekend getaway

Our stay at Rene and Terry’s was perfect! We were in Madison for the CrossFit Games event and enjoyed using their place as a perfect little retreat. It was quiet, clean, comfortable and had lots of welcoming touches that made us feel at home and taken care of. Even though we were about 20 minutes from the venue, it was an easy drive and would stay here again and highly recommend!

beautiful and comfortable

I really enjoyed my stay here. You have a private basement space in a nice neighborhood close too many amenities. Check in was super easy and so was parking. The unit is beautifully furnished with a luxurious bathroom and super comfortable king sized bed. I had to work requiring me to be online on zoom calls and the internet was strong and reliable. I will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful property and experience!

My husband and I went to visit our Badger. He's a long way from home and I wanted to do some home cooked meals for him. Such a great space! Did a family and friends dinner, watched some sports and had a lot of quality downtime for myself. The space is in brand new condition, very spacious, beautifully decorated, huge shower. We couldn't have asked for more. Thanks so much, Terry & Rene.
