Absolutely beautiful, peaceful, clean. We were looking for something secluded and rustic with fishing and this place was better than could have imagined. We enjoyed coffee each morning on the porch watching the fish jump in the pond. We were kept safe by the friendly dogs that were so sweet. The bed was so comfortable we were asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillows. Everywhere you look there is something cool to see. All the added touches by the host made it even more special. It was like having a scavenger hunt. We will definitely be back!

I wish I could fit a whole experience in one review! We came to Madison for a music festival and decided on a stay out of town, and boy am I glad we did! This spot is a gem. The details put into the decor, and the way if feels comfortable yet back-in-time is amazing. The quiet comfy weekend away was a much needed reprieve, and we intend to be back!

Short getaway back in time

We were in love with all the little historic pieces in the cabin. The property was absolutely stunning with a view that was beautiful even during storms. I dropped it a star in accuracy because it was missing the old stove and the dock that was pictured in the ad.

Relaxing Getaway

Cabin and property are beautiful! The old cabin has a lot of charm and is well decorated. Porch that overlooks the pond was one of my favorite spots...spent every morning out there with a cup of coffee watching the wildlife. If you want a relaxing place to get away from it all for a bit, I would highly recommend this cabin!
