Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Dane County

We spent the weekend here and enjoyed the house, especially our time hanging out in the yard and on the back deck! The house was very clean and thoughtfully prepared for guests. We appreciated the blackout shades, comfortable beds, and relaxing vibe. And having a garage space was very convenient!

One of the things I really appreciated was how proactive Mark was in his communications. He reached out before, during and at the end of our stay. We enjoyed the comfortable beds, the well-stocked kitchen and grilling out on the patio. We also appreciated having a queen in each bedroom. Mark gave us some good recommendations for nearby restaurants. The house was conveniently located and the neighborhood felt very safe. Would definitely recommend!

We loved our beautiful water view and we were so close to great restaurants. Douglas is such a friendly host and very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

This is a gem if you like to walk to local restaurant have access to all the stores you need and a need to feel surrounded by nature. The master bedroom was so wonderful with a screen door to leave open at night for fresh air, also a small balcony to view the water from bedroom. We left the outdoor summer lights on the deck that somehow reflected on the ceiling of the master bedroom at night it left a beautiful light pattern, magical place, to see turtles, birds and we saw a heron as we left the house, resting on the dock. Great location and amazing hosts! We had dinner on the grill with music it was simply perfect.- Thanks, again to our hosts! Worth it!

We really enjoyed our stay at Chris's beautiful home. The location is private and quiet yet close to everything we needed. The amenities made it comfortable for our family to gather, dine and play. Thank you, Chris!

Nice spot, amazing location. We slept 6 for a conference and it worked out. Recommended.

Perfect home for a relaxing getaway. Beautiful home, very clean, with amazing views. The hot tub and grill we're a hit with us! We would definitely go back. Mike was a wonderful host. Thank you! Amy & Sam

My family and I stayed at Amy's house for my daughter's graduation from UW-Madison. It was easy to get to and from campus by Uber or a nice, long stroll. Amy was a pleasure and so easy to work with. She was quick to respond to texts and very friendly and helpful. Not only was her home charming and comfortable, it was SPOTLESS! There was not a speck of dust to be found. It's hard to believe this is her primary home with a young family. The kitchen was well-equipped and the bathrooms had everything you would need. I highly recommend this beautiful home for your next stay in Madison.

The hosts were friendly and accommodating. Our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until past 2am. They were very cool and flexible about it, although we felt awful. They were chatty, but not overwhelmingly so. The apartment is HUGE and lovely. Highly recommend this listing. Thank you!

Hello! Elizabeth was a wonderful host, she was very informative and recommended a lot in the area. You can really tell she cares for her guests and the space. It was a beautiful home and my group is so happy we stayed there.

Perfect little getaway place. Provided all amenities. Very clean/cozy place. Host was responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

We loved our stay at Tricia’s whimsical, boho home. The artistic, multi-level layout was perfect for celebrating my daughter’s 5th birthday weekend. The space had plenty of room, creative decor, and nostalgic touches like the Wii, which my kids loved. My daughter was able to relax with Bluey upstairs while I prepped meals and unwound after our days exploring nearby Madison. We visited the Madison botanical gardens, children’s museum, and Capitol, and enjoyed two local diners with great food and reasonable prices. A couple of great surprises made the trip even more special: Fireman’s Park across the street had an outdoor movie night (Moana 2), food trucks, a splash pad, and an updated playground. Tricia also surprised my daughter with birthday cupcakes and a gift card to Woolly’s Snack Shop, where we got ice cream on our way home. Lots of sleeping options, games, and puzzles made the home even better. Tricia was super communicative and we’d definitely stay again.

I travel to the Madison area for work often and have stayed at Kathryn’s place a few times. The rental is the full second floor of a home in DeForest, a quiet little village not far outside Madison. It’s a clean, well-equipped, comfortable unit, with a private entrance, that makes a great base for exploring DeForest and the broader Madison area. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Studio apartment with queen bed and nice kitchen and shower was fine. Back of the building was quiet. Location good. Would stay again

Amazing stay, walking distance to the lake and a few food places and only a short drive to anything else you need or want. The place was spotless with good sized bedrooms and a larger living room/ kitchen than we anticipated. Amazing hosts too. Thank you for making us welcome.

Kari has a wonderful home. The basement apartment we stayed in was perfect. It was private and had a great view. It was just as described and we didn’t want for anything. Kari even helped us get set up in advance, putting out a crib and age appropriate toys for our kiddo. Checking in was simple and smooth. I would absolutely stay here again the next time we are visiting.
