Laurel, the host was very kind! The first night we stayed there we had a storm. She messaged me the next morning to make sure that we were ok! I loved the location and the walking trails and creek behind us!

The stay was nice but we should have read the description more carefully. The host and home was fine, but small. Nothing wrong with home or host, just not what we expected. Thank you

Property is nice. It’s ideal for a small family looking to explore the State Park and take a scenic walk into the downtown shops. I’d recommend it and would repeat another stay.

We enjoyed this cozy little cabinet. It was just the right size for the 2 of us and our 2 fur babies. Very clean inside. Loved the walking trail right below us. Close to down town, and close to Clifty falls. We enjoyed sitting by the river listening to live music from the Madison restaurant on the water.Our favorite restaurant was HInkles and down towner. Loved looking at the antique shops. A great get a way!!

Everything was as listed, except we didn’t see the bird food or the bottled water. But that was not a big deal. It was cute, clean and a very quiet area. Comfortable beds!Our stay was great. Thank you!

Hi, I’m a proud Hanover College graduate and a dedicated social worker. I’m passionate about autism advocacy and helping create inclusive, supportive spaces for every individual. My faith and love for scripture guide my work and daily life, and when I’m not serving others, you can usually find me out in nature—it’s where I recharge and feel closest to God.”

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is like your in the woods in a private setting but your steps from all there is to do in historic Madison. Best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

My property is downtown near the festivals and events but private surrounded by nature and trails.
