Clean house surrounded by nature
House was spotlessly clean with comfortable furniture and beds. Kitchen was very well stocked with dishes, small appliances and some spices. My favorite part was taking my dog to walk on the trails through a meadow of native plants full of birds, fireflies and butterflies. Peaceful property.

Peaceful home
We loved our stay. The house was comfortable and clean. It had all the amenities. The location was spectacular, and the backyard was super peaceful. Joan was a great host and communication was easy. There are three bedrooms for six people and a full-size futon, which is great for our group of 6.

Beautiful Property
Great location minutes away from downtown Middleton and 15 minutes from Madison. We loved the property, being on a small farm away from the city, but also minutes away. We enjoyed the traditional ranch style home which accommodated 6 of us comfortably. Great place all around.

Perfect Staycation
We stayed here while our floors were being refinished. The house was clean and peaceful, which was just what we needed. There is a perfect work from home set up that allows for views of the prairie, and we made ratattouille with the veggies from the garden. It's far out, but I was able to get to work on the northside within 30 minutes. We would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing family vacation
This was a great spot to rest and relax together in the evenings and venture out during the day to see what Madison and surrounding areas have to offer. We're from a small town in SC, so big city spaces were not what we were interested in for our VRBO. It was perfect for us.

absolutely amazing place
The house was perfect for our family; our daughter and her family and us. The house was spotless, the rooms spacious, quality towels, kitchen well supplied. We needed some flexibility with our dates and Joan was wonderful to work with. The outdoor space was great for walking our daughter's dog. The location was perfect for visiting other family in the Madison area. We will definitely plan to stay here again when we are in the Madison area. I highly recommend it, but know that in doing so, it may not be available when we want to book it again in the future. We have stayed in VRBO's in Hawaii, D.C. and internationally, I would rank this as one of the best!

Close to Madison
Was a short drive to visit family in Madison. Joan was a GREAT hostess. There were lots of veggies in the garden, fresh fruit from the trees, and the knowledge she shared about gardening was amazing. Our grandkids had lots of room to run and play. House layout was very functional for those that did some remote work, needed a rest, or just relaxing and visiting on back deck.

Our stay was outstanding in very way. Joan is the consummate host. The house was clean and the furnishings comfortable. She gave us fresh eggs, just picked apples, and produce from her garden. One of the best properties we have ever stayed at with VRBO.

Beautiful Property, Excellent Host
My family does some pheasant hunting twice per year in Wisconsin, and staying just outside Madison is a perfect location for our stay. This property is beautiful, and it is only 20 minutes from downtown Madison! Clearly the best of both worlds. If you enjoy a rural location which still has access to Madison proper, I highly recommend this property. The hosts were kind and check-in/instructions were clear and simple.

Perfect
This home was everything and more that we could have asked for. The layout was perfect. The beds are extremely comfortable! We were there for a sibling family reunion. The host, Joanie, was friendly and hospitable. Fresh eggs were a great plus, I think one of our highlights was meeting Oscar! We highy recommend this home to anyone. We're all thinking of reasons to go back. Thanks you to the hosts.

Just the right place
This was a comfortable, simple place for my brothers and sisters to meet for a party. The backyard was great with a large deck and a view of the little Middelton airport and beautiful farmland. It was out of the way, private and friendly and a great find. I would definitely return to rent again. Joan took good care of us.

Peaceful and Relaxing Stay Close to Madison
I can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was. Joan was a gracious and attentive host providing fresh veggies, fresh eggs and great recommendations for eating. We were able to bring our large dog which is one of the primary reasons we selected this place. The house is well equipped with everything you need. The drive to Madison is quick and easy too. Though the house is close to the road, it is very quiet and peaceful. We were able to enjoy the tranquility while sitting on the back deck watching the night sky. There are trails close by for running or biking too. Though we had a packed agenda, we found ourselves wishing we had extra time to just relax and enjoy the peace of the location. Will definitely stay here again.
