This was a wonderful stay for a weekend in Madison. Great accommodations for our group of 8! I appreciated that the couch was perfect for movie nights, and that the game table had been replaced with a dining table so we could all eat together. Can't wait to go back!
This was the perfect place to stay for a family visiting Madison. Quiet, walkable to a super cute ice cream and coffee shop, and an easy drive to Madison!!
Fabulous house for hosting family for the holidays. Great location, plenty of room to gather or have quiet time to yourself. Stacey was very helpful and made the house festive.
This is a great place! The home is clean and well stocked and the owners are very responsive and accommodating. The house is in a unique, historic, little town with easy access to Madison. It is larger than the photos represent with plenty of space for hanging out indoor and out. I would stay here again if I'm ever back in the area!
Out of town family stayed at the house while in town for a reunion. Host was quickly responsive to any questions we had. Left us great info about the community with things to do and local eateries. House is located just outside of Madison, Wisconsin and close to many activities
The Johnson house was perfect for our family of 5 and our golden doodle to stay for the Christmas holiday. We were in town visiting family and needed a place for all of us to stay. Stacy had even gone above and beyond and had a Christmas tree and decorations to truly make it feel like home. The house is in a great location to be able to visit our family members spread all around Dane County.
My family and I stayed at the Johnson House for a weekend and we were more than satisfied with our visit. The location of the house is close enough to Madison that we were able to drive to do some activities in the morning (Henry Villas zoo, Madison Farmers Market) and be home for my toddler’s nap time in the afternoon. There is also a great play ground at the school down the street we were able to utilize on the weekend. There is a cute cafe in town that we went to multiple times for coffee and breakfast sandwiches. The house itself was very welcoming. Everything was clean, cozy, and well thought through. We would definitely stay here again if we are back in the are!
we had such a nice time! the house was perfectly located as a meet up spot between our home base and where our son moved for a new job. the house was cozy and cute, and perfect for evening game nights and movies. :)
