About this property

Shady Grove Cottage | Poolside Stay in Madison

Step into Shady Grove Cottage, a charming retro-inspired retreat where vintage character meets modern comfort in the heart of Madison. This thoughtfully renovated 5-bedroom, 2-bath split-level home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it the perfect gathering space for families, groups, or weekend getaways.

Inside, you’ll find a welcoming main level designed for connection and ease. The cozy living room offers plenty of seating for relaxing conversations, movie nights, or catching the big game, while a dedicated workspace provides a quiet spot to check in on emails if needed. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals at home, featuring a full-size fridge, stove, coffee maker, and all the essentials. Enjoy meals together at the sleek dining table or keep things casual with additional seating nearby.

The home’s split-level layout offers both privacy and personality. Downstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bathroom with a walk-in shower and marble finishes. One bedroom features two full beds and fun extras like chess and darts for a little friendly competition, while the second offers a cozy queen bed retreat.

Upstairs on the third level are three additional bedrooms—two with queen beds and one with a king—along with a shared full bath that showcases charming powder blue retro tile and a tub/shower combo, adding to the home’s nostalgic appeal.

Step outside to enjoy the spacious yard, shaded by mature trees, or unwind on the patio with comfortable seating and a charcoal grill—perfect for laid-back evenings. During warmer months, guests can take advantage of the seasonal above-ground pool (open through October 1st, weather permitting), offering a refreshing way to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Additional amenities include a washer and dryer, driveway parking for up to four vehicles, and convenient self check-in with a digital keypad. Please note that due to the split-level design, stairs are required to access both sleeping areas, as there are no bedrooms or bathrooms on the main floor.

The home was very clean and cozy. We enjoyed the layout of the house. We also liked the location as it was very close to everything that we needed. The host was really amazing. If I texted she responded back promptly. She was very cooperate to our needs. Would definitely stay at this place again. The only side notes I have are as follow.1. We hoped the pool was ready for our stay.2. The grass needed cutting.3. We were confused with towels the first day. All the extra towels were still in the dryer.4. The ac unit wouldn't let you keep it at the level you personally wanted. After sometime would pace you would have to adjust it again. But other than that we enjoyed our stay

We reserved this because of two things that were highlighted in the listing. The pool and garage parking. The pool was an unusable mess and the garage door didn't work. The code to get in didn't work. We were then given an incorrect code to the lockbox. We waited nearly 30 minutes from when we arrived until we could actually get in. There was one roll of toilet paper for 8 people, 4 forks in the "fully stocked kitchen" and no can opener.The pool and the garage door were reported to the property manager. The response amounted to "Oh, sorry". So more or less they just said too bad, sucks to be you. No type of reimbursement was offered from the property management. The location is convenient to many things, but that and good water pressure are the only positives I can give. Certainly not the chocolate brown oven from the 80s that the door wouldn't stay closed on or the one remote for the tvs that had to be shuttled back and forth between the upstairs and downstairs to watch TV. Which we did alot of because we couldn't use the pool.Crappy place. Do not recommend.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hi there!
I’m the owner and operator of a short-term rental business built around one simple goal: making guests feel right at home. I absolutely love what I do — especially designing spaces that are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked for a five-star stay.

When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me spending time with my family, hanging out with my dogs, experimenting in the kitchen, or unwinding with a good video game. I’m all about the little details and genuinely enjoy helping people have the best stay possible.

Travel plays a big part in my life, too — from honeymooning in Iceland, to exploring Mexico, to visiting family in Orlando and Gulf Shores. I know what it feels like to have an amazing stay, and that’s exactly the experience I aim to deliver to every guest.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help and excited to host you!
