Our stay was very pleasant and only marred by cold, rainy weather, which stopped us from fully enjoying the deck and dock. Two pelicans entertained us during the brief respite from the rain.

The host was very accommodating. Very nice place to stay. The only thing I would change is the upstairs bathroom fan was loud for those staying in the upstairs rooms. Other than that I would highly recommend and will be staying again if I get to Madison.

Fantastic location for visiting Madison students

We came into town for a girls weekend with our students at UW Madison. We had a fantastic stay here. The property was spotless. The views were beautiful. Our girls stayed with us.
