Decor is perfect for a cottage plus large living and eating area. Stayed for a week to visit family in town and they came over willingly to chill and dinner. Outdoor seating and grill too.Great visit.

Charming home in Madison
The space was wonderful and family friendly for our two year old. We were very comfortable with the two beds and brought our own crib. There are so many cozy nooks, watching the bird feeders from one window, a den to watch tv, and a massive kitchen island and nice dinning area to make food and get together. I would stay again in a heart beat!
