Morgan Wallen concert

We gifted our oldest and two of her friends concert tickets in Madison. We booked the home to give the teenagers their space. We loved it! The location was close to everything, including the stadium. We were equally as impressed with the outdoor setting, heated tile floors and laundry access. The teens loved the downstairs game room. Morning walks around the lake were gorgeous.

Lovely home

We loved our stay at this property. We visited in the winter so were unable to take advantage of all of the outdoor beauty but the hot tub overlooking the waterway was wonderful. We were in town to experience all that Madison has to offer including a Badger men’s basketball game. Easy access to state street and the Capitol area with short rides. House was clean and well set up with comfortable beds, great bathrooms, and shared areas for enjoying time together. We would definitely return!

Perfect Stay in a Peaceful, Fun-Filled Home Near the Expo

We enjoyed a relaxing stay on Winnequah during the World Dairy Expo. So many positives to share. The neighborhood is peaceful, and the house itself spotless, spacious, and really comfortable. The beds were comfortable, and the modern bathrooms included plenty of soft towels that felt like a treat. We loved the great acoustics for playing guitar and had a blast in the entertainment area with classic PacMan and Centipede arcades, darts and a pool table. The large deck, overlooking the water and beautiful trees, was perfect for enjoying meals together. The location couldn't have been better—so close to the Alliant Energy Center. We are already planning to book for next year!

Madison House on the Water

Everything about this house is beautiful--waterfront, kayaks, hot tub, paddleboards, pool table. Nice and clean and very nicely outfitted. The only reason for a four star review is the advertised price compared to final price after hidden fees. Hidden fees added 50% more to the cost.

Make sure to get travel insurance if you book this property!

We booked this home to gather and celebrate my father's 88th birthday. Sadly, Wisconsin weather took a turn for the worse with travel advisories statewide/nationwide AND my father got Covid. I understand the cancelation policy but was hoping that we could reschedule due to circumstances or at least have a partial credit to rebook with him. The answer was a firm NO. (Unless someone else swooped in to rebook the house for the weekend, which was highly unlikely.) The airlines, rentals car agency and caterer all gave refunds but this homeowner showed no empathy. Just a word of caution; book travel insurance with this property. Not the most compassionate owner (and we have a VRBO property ourselves.)
