Madison, Wisconsin
I live on the eclectic East side of Madison Wisconsin. My house in over 100 years old and is one of the original homesteads in the area (back in the day). This house is a 2 story house with 3 bedrooms, full bathroom upstairs and 1 bathroom with shower downstairs. Full kitchen and living room, fenced in back yard (dog friendly) with a fire pit for those who enjoy an evening campfire. The propery comes with an attached 3 seasons porch with a bar if one wishes to sit inside and chill. I live 2 blocks from the Madison bike path that will take you everywhere around Dane County. This bike friendly community offers a great opportunity to tour all of the local breweries throughout Dane and surrounding area. Please come and experience Madison, the State Capital, awesome State Street (which is a must visit if you have never!), Willy Street ( another must visit for an awesome cultural experience) and SO SO much more. Saturday’s farmers market around the State Capital is definately a stop in the morning to get a coffee in one of the local coffee shops and walk around and experience all of the local vendors offering organic foods! Madison, A great place to be.
This was a wonderful experience. The host was very accommodating. Our stay was over Christmas, and it was nice to have a little tree. She left wonderful goodies and the house was very inviting. I would be quite happy to stay there again. Most important, I felt my furry friend, my dog was very safe. We took walks in the neighborhood and enjoyed quiet times when not visiting family. Thanks to Kate for a very enjoyable visit.
Four of us stayed over Thanksgiving week. Kate was a great host. She left out dishes for us to use for Thanksgiving dinner, checked often to make sure we had what we needed, left us baked goodies and some potatoes/vegetables for our dinner, and gave suggestions on places to go nearby. Communication was excellent from the time we booked all the way through the stay. The fenced yard for the dogs was very helpful; Kate’s listing is by far the most dog-friendly we’ve seen on any hosting sites. The listing does not show it clearly but there is a 4 seat dining area. Kate left us an extra folding table that worked great for a larger group. Also, the bathroom in the basement is listed as a half bath but it is actually a full bath with a shower curtain door. This house would not be good for anyone with issues going up and down stairs but it was perfect for us. Very cozy and comfortable with plenty of extra towels and blankets and a fully stocked kitchen. Thank you Kate for a wonderful home away from home.
Had a great time staying here over a football weekend. Location is convenient to campus. The place is super clean and has everything you need. The host even left us cookies!
We had a group of 6, ages 16 to 60, along with our dog. We all agreed.. this will be our “go to” place whenever we come back to visit. Kate our host answered every question about going to a Badger game (it was our first time).. so don’t be afraid to ask questions! We have more family in the area and the back yard was perfect for a fire that evening after the game so we could all visit ( nice quiet neighborhood and neighbors… very family friendly). Exactly what we needed after spending 8 hours downtown at the Badger game. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Nice, comfortable house in quiet neighborhood. Everything we needed to enjoy a game weekend. Homemade cookies and vinyl records to play were fun touches.
Well, my wife is looking at property in Madison following our stay. We came to town for a wedding. We loved exploring the area surrounding the VRBO on foot, and also found much to see and do in the downtown area. This house was a spectacular home base at which to recharge. It had everything we needed, and was visually pleasing with the warm lighting and wood finish. This would be a good place for entertaining a group, or for a bunch of introverts to chill out and read.
We stayed here for the weekend of our daughter's wedding in Madison. It was a super busy weekend, and although we did not have a lot of time at the house, it was wonderful to be able to have it for a quiet respite. My husband had a nice nap in the outdoor zen space, and we all enjoyed the snacks which Kate left for us. I highly recommend! Janet
Great house, great host. Location is convenient. Very close to airport and downtown.
Thank you! We survived the heat! The house is lovely.
Clean quaint home. Loved that it was dog friendly. Backyard was great for the dogs and a chill evening with a fire in the fire pit. Communication with owner was easy and she responded quickly.
Our family was lucky enough to stay at this property for UW Madison Grad weekend-from the easy check in, spotlessly clean house and the delicious treats left by the owner we could not have been happier. Comfy beds, stocked kitchen, artistically decorated and homey feel. We especially loved the back yard, fenced in for our dog, full of bird feeders and plants, with a covered area to hang out in at night. Close to downtown Madison and the campus area for easy access to all the fun activities Madison has to offer.
Thoughtful hostess, close driving distance to things to do
Our group of 3 adults and our 70+ year old parents really enjoyed our stay! We were visiting family in the area and the location was very convenient to downtown Madison. The neighborhood was quiet and the yard is a great bonus hangout area. It had snowed before our arrival and Kate had the driveway and sidewalks cleared so it was very easy getting in and out. The stairs to the bedroom level are a bit steep, so it could be tricky with younger kids or anyone with mobility issues. The kitchen was well equipped to cook full meals and the living area is quite comfortable - we enjoyed picking out records to listen to. Would definitely stay here again.
A few friends met back in town after moving away 5 years ago. This house was a great home base, close to downtown and east side as well as the airport. Dog friendly with a fenced in yard. Kitchen had all the essentials. Could have comfortably slept 6 adults.
Wonderful stay! Would definitely recommend:)
Loved staying at this house. We came in for a football weekend and thoroughly enjoyed this house. It was a $12/uber ride to campus and all of the fun things. An added bonus was our Cougs beating the Badgers. Our host was a great communicator and we felt very welcome here. Check in/check out was a breeze. The house was very clean. Beds were comfortable.
Having stayed in several VRBO homes, I can safely say that you cannot find a more meticulously cared-for property and a more generous considerate host. Beautiful cozy home and fabulous Zen back garden filled with song birds. I did take one star off location because of the proximity to the airport and regular F-35 fly-overs. They are really loud (but awesome to watch actually).
Kate's home is immaculate and the bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. Her kitchen provided everything we needed and the living area is both appealing and cozy, with plenty of seating. We were able to spend time in her backyard, too, which is a summer delight! I'll definitely return when friends are in Madison from out of town. The steps are a bit steep, so not suitable for elderly or mobility-challenged people.
Great place & great location, perfect for our girls weekend. Kate was very responsive and accommodating.
Nice
The property matched the description and was perfect for our family of 5. Spent a lot of time in the morning with coffee on the back patio as well as at night. Was a short drive to all the things that we needed to get to for our daughter’s graduation.
Very lovely house and everything was labeled extremely well
