Great quiet, historical, charming cottage! We enjoyed having a kitchen to do our own meals. The outdoor fire pit was nice, and it was within walking distance to the shops in Mineral Point. Our “big event” was going to a performance at American Players Theater. We enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed this cozy cottage for one evening. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed, fireplace, TV, comfortable bed, and stocked kitchen. Check in and out was easy thanks to the communication with the property owners. We enjoyed a local burger at Cow Tippers Pub, a delicious coffee from Wild Blue Yonder Coffeehouse. We would stay here again.
The cozy cottage is as described. The layout was little unusual with the kitchen upstairs with the bedrooms. The age of the cottage doesn't lend itself to central air and instead has units in various parts. They do run loud which was a little sleep disturbing. Overall, the cottage met our needs.
Really enjoyed staying in this historic home, very cozy, and we especially enjoyed the fire ring out back as well as the quiet neighborhood and close proximity to shops and restaurants…
Part of the reason this property was chosen was its distance to Spring Green American Players Theater.
Our location was perfect for the restaurant and church attended.
The property was clean and comfortable for our weekend in Mineral Point. We appreciated the comfortable beds and the history of the home. The street is quiet and safe, and the outside space at the home was a real bonus. Would stay again!

Close to the high street
Pros: the cottage is very close to the high street and walking distance to just about everything else in town. Comfortable beds and cozy furniture. Well stocked kitchen.Cons: screen on the back door is completely shredded so you can't keep the door open for airflow. The stove is unsusable as it's covered with burnt food on the bottom. It filled with smoke when used and set off the smoke detector. Check in code and instructions were not sent to us 24 hours ahead of time so we had to contact VRBO to connect with the host to send them.

Very unique property, allot bigger than it looks, it was a very hot weekend and the window air conditioning had a hard time keeping up. Very well stocked. Would stay again. Plenty of room for a family or 2 couples.
We visited family in a neighboring community and this cottage was perfect to accommodate our family. The house was as described, with a charming interior and decor, and stocked with all the amenities we needed. Hope to be back again for a longer stay and more time to explore the local shops!
What a lovely cottage to rest and relax in after long days of classes at Shake Rag. Excellent beds - always the most important thing for us - nice kitchen. The weather varied from 90 - 55 degrees and the cottage was comfortable for the range.
Sweet little place with lots of nice little extras. Unfortunately we couldn't stay the whole 2 nights as we had a family emergency but would definitely stay again!
Location was just what we were looking for. Enjoyed the back yard and the house was decorated perfectly. Beds were awesome!!!
