Cozy Cabin on Decatur Lake

JessicaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We were looking for a quick weekend away and this place was PERFECT! The electric fireplace made this cozy cabin even cozier. There are a lot of other houses on the river (that felt like a lake), but while we were there we didn't see one other person and the cabin is placed in a great way that it feels extremely private. Can't wait to see it in the summer months when we can use the kayaks. We feel like we found a hidden gem and will absolutely be coming back!

We had a lovely time at Bente’s Farm. The space was warm and cozy, and the animals were a real treat. Bente even showed us how to milk her cow Bethany and invited us to have as many eggs as we wanted. Bente was also a delight to be around. It was the perfect escape from the city.

Private apartment -2 Beds, Kitchen Office, Sunroom

ErinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Lori was a lovely host and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. Easy walk through the neighborhood to the lake and accessible to downtown. Steep stairs and low ceiling in certain parts of the basement made this stay a little challenging for someone as tall as I am but otherwise very nice accommodation.

Doty ★ Walk to Everything -Hotel Quality- Downtown

LeeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Fantastic apartment in downtown Madison. Very comfortable space with great kitchen. Spent Christmas and a few days afterwards, with our grown kids (Madison locals and a couple from out of town). Kitchen well equipped for feast preparation. The only down sides are parking (street only, with restrictions during the day) and the second floor walk-up (not feasible for anyone with mobility issues). Justine is a fantastic host - very responsive and helpful! Location is really ideal - easy walk to many restaurants, the square, State Street, campus. Highly recommended if you're looking for a place in Madison.
