Relaxing Lakeside Stay, Good for Families
Jake’s place was perfect for our stay, as it was a relaxing, clean and a nice home. The two floor layout worked especially well for our infant daughter so she had a quiet place to sleep, while we could cook and hang out in the living room. The only suggestion to the host is to install curtains along the picturesque sliding doors for a bit of extra privacy at nighttime.

Business Trip
We needed a rental for our employees to stay at while working at a job in the area. This unit was perfect as men usually don't mind sharing a room but not a bed and this unit had separate beds for our 5 employees. They enjoyed the comforts of home while away from their families. Jake was helpful and provided all the information we needed and made check in and checkout very simple. We had to book in weekly intervals and they were able to accommodate this type of booking which was very helpful.

Lovely Lakeside Home
The best thing about this house is its proximity to Madison in general and to the river. I loved taking a kayak out on the river around sunrise. Really beautiful. It's close to many fun activities in Madison too. The house itself is comfortable. Hosts are responsive and helpful. Kitchen is lovely. One helpful tip is that this house is on a busy street. There is some traffic noise at night. Not a huge deal but I wish I had known ahead of time and prepared for it. Overall a good place with lovely hosts.

Great deck on river
We had a great time utilizing the outdoor deck space at the is property! It also had a spacious kitchen and a fun game-themed living space. We were a little bummed that the river water at the dock was green, making it less enticing to use the kayaks and canoe provided but I’m not sure how the property owner could control that. Location was walking distance from some fun bars and restaurants and a short drive to Madison. Close to bike trails too!

Wonderful location and views, and comfortable house!
We were a family of four, and we really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cottage on the Yahara River. The three bedrooms are tastefully decorated and the beds are comfortable, with nice ceiling fans. The living room is fairly spacious, with a comfortable sitting area and a large TV for watching family movies. We loved having a private dock where my son loved to go fishing. The owners were super friendly and helpful, and their communication was excellent! We loved using the kayaks that came with the property, and had fun boating to local restaurants and bars. This house is also walking distance to several restaurants and cafes. Overall, we stayed for 6 nights and really enjoyed our stay!

I don't like cold showers or a lack of concern for safety
I probably wouldn't leaving such a strong review, although I'd argue the photos of the property were a tad generous, however I don't like cold showers. Some could squeeze out a lukewarm shower if they finagled the handle into just the right position. Otherwise the handle was in a state that turning it to hot did not cause a major temperature change. I can't imagine the handle got into such a state just by sitting there, but maybe we were just unlucky and it had worked just fine for all previous guests. Additionally, the fire alarm system seemed to be malfunctioning during our stay and kept indicating a fire for 2-3 seconds before shutting off again. This occurred a few times during the morning hours, before, around about 4, I reached out to Jake. He suggested disconnecting the specific fire alarm that seemed to be tripping the system and indicated that he'd stop over the next day to take a look at the system. I disconnected one of the alarms, and we were able sleep again. By itself, the alarm malfunctioning isn't really the point of complaint, the main issue was that Jake then never showed up. Thus we slept another night with a fire alarm system whose operating state we weren't sure of. This part was particularly unnerving as I'd argue most fire alarms shouldn't start indicating a fire and then suddenly decide to automatically shut off. We left a note mentioning both of these issues, so if you happen to run into them during your stay, I'd say Jake didn't show up yet again.

We are a bunch of Art Therapy Graduate students from Edgewood. This was our last residency before graduation and we wanted to stay together. You're home was the perfect place for us to finish out our Graduate experience together. In your beautiful home lifetime bonds were solidified! Thank you! You are so welcoming & communicated clearly & timely. You have put a lot of passion & talent into this lake home and it shows! We wish we could give you a TEN star review... but 5 star will have to do! Maybe we'll come back for a reunion some day!

Fantastic fall trip to the Madison area, great for families!!
We had an amazing experience with the host and this property. First, the house is extremely well stocked, meticulously clean & well-kept, and delivers on everything the listing says it would. We traveled with three younger children (ages 4-7) and the house was the perfect fit for our family for a long weekend stay. In particular, we absolutely loved the waterfront access and enjoyed the beautiful backyard porch and firepit. As part of our stay, we sent a lot of time in downtown Madison and the UW campus. The house is conveniently located close to the highway and we had a very easy – and short – drive to all parts of the city. The host (Jake) was incredibly invested in making sure our stay was the best possible. He was proactive, and very prompt, with his communication. Additionally, he helped us with some logistics for our trip that were outside the nature of staying at the property. Will absolutely being staying here again on our next trip to the Madison-area!

Madison experience and fishing/boating fun
Updated and clean home with access to the Yahara River for fishing and boating. The location allows for quick access to Madison’s best attractions. We took in a Mallards baseball game, visited the Cave of the Mounds, the Memorial Union Terrace, Capital City bike paths and there was so much more to do and see if we had stayed more than 4 days. Great place to stay if you enjoy treating your family to lake life and all the activities that Madison offers.
