    “A Touch of Country Living” offers everything you need for a weekend or extended getaway. We stayed for a 3-day weekend and never had a need that wasn’t met by this charming property. Everything was just as described. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the house because we were busy with activities in Madison, but future visits to the house will have to have time built in to just relax. We played golf at University Ridge Golf Course and ate in Madison each evening. The property is close enough to commute back and forth as needed, yet it feels so far away from the city when considering how quiet and calm it is when you settle back in at night. We plan to visit Madison quite often, and we definitely hope to stay here again.

    This beautiful home is one of the best VRBO's I've ever stayed in (and I've stayed in quite a few throughout the country). It was the cleanest and neatest home ever! The communication with the hosts was excellent. I wish every VRBO was like this one!! Enjoy your visit to the Madison area in this home.

    I do not think that I can quite convey how perfect these accomodations are. The photos do not do it justice. You get more than you see in the photos. The property is a shotgun style but quite spacious. There are multiple places to eat as well as a separate gaming area with it's own table and seating. We arrived way after the permitted check in time. However, locating the property and gaining entry were quite simple because of Barb's and Butch's directions and instructions which are quite thorough. They thought of everything, travel mugs and fly swatter included. There are ample labels throughout the property which blessedly took the guesswork out of which light switch goes to what (and there are a lot of lights). I was so impressed by the layout and lighting that I will be implementing them in my own home. This was not so much of a stay, but rather a home away from home. I did not get to speak or see either host and they respected our privacy. In hind sight I wish I had the opportunity to do so. The outside provided lots of on site parking and an additonal patio area and grill for barbecueing. Did not get to use it. The area was peaceful and tranquil. Let me repeat, do not sleep on booking here. It was perfect. I wish I could tell you that something was lacking. But since all my needs were met, I can't think of a single thing where they fell short. Thank you Barb and Butch for being stellar hosts.

    We were very pleased with this lovely property. It is exactly as shown in the photos, it was exceptionally clean and great attention to the details. They have just about everything you could possibly need and even some really nice treats like chocolates and cold waters in the fridge on your arrival. The grounds are beautiful and the location is close to so many of Madison attractions. I highly recommend this property if you are visiting the Madison area. Oh, and the owners are really personable but respectful of your privacy. You will not be sorry if you rent this property.

    Barb and Butch have provided every amenity one could ask for, from an initial packet of coffee for morning #1 to just about every kitchen tool imaginable. And the location was delightful... close enough (and far enough) from Madison to make getting in and out of the city easy - and deliciously quiet at night. For us, this wonderful home-away-from-home was just the right choice, giving us plenty of time to be with our newest grandchild - as well as a little quiet time to recuperate from hanging out with a 2-year-old! Already looking forward to another visit!

    We had a business trip to the area and decided to stay at Barbara's place in the country rather than a hotel. That was a great decision. Barbara's place was better than described. We have stayed in many VRBOs over the years, but this was one of the best. Everything was extremely clean. The layout was very well planned and the construction was good. Lighting was wonderful. We would definitely stay again.

Barb & Butch had a notebook full of menus, attractions as well as games and puzzles to occupy our stay. We would recommend this place if you are in the Madison area. I think we were only about 12-15 mins from downtown. We visited the Farmer's Market. A must see if in the area.
