Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Lake Mendota

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!

Beautiful spot to relax, close to great hiking trails. The home was comfy and had some thoughtful extras.

This is one of the most aesthetically gorgeous, peaceful and unique Airbnb experiences I've enjoyed. What an absolutely lovely sanctuary of light, simplicity, and calm refuge just 30 minutes drive through rolling farmland, woods and wetlands from downtown Madison and the UW campus. The indoor fireplace and hot tub are such fabulous highlights! I loved every aspect of the orchard house including Josh's proactive tips and quick responses to a couple of minor questions I had. This was a really lovely place to spend a long weekend. I will be back and have already told all my friends about it. Bravo!

Couldn't have asked for more. Fantastic property and a responsive, friendly host. He even reached out to offer early check-in. We'll be back! From the wife: One of the best stays we’ve had! The host was super responsive—when our kids lost a ball, Kevin showed up with 2 new ones AND chalk. The cabin was spotless, with cozy couches, blackout curtains, comfy beds, & blankets everywhere. We loved the smart fridge for music, strong Wi-Fi, & the heated toilet seat (game changer!). Shower had great pressure, towels were plush & smelled amazing & the AC kept us cool. Porch felt like a villa in Costa Rica, especially in the rain. Early check-in, a generous welcome gift & even dog bags for our pups. Massage chair, grill, and space to spread out—we will DEFINITELY be back again, next time without our crazy children!

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!

Jordyn’s place is fantastic and she is an excellent host. The house has everything you need and is well organized. Jordyn is very proactive, communicative, and considerate. Highly recommend this stay!

Wonderful stay in a quiet, relaxing space. From s’mores to pool to the great hiking spots nearby, we would happily visit again.

My stay at this Airbnb was great! Had no issues whatsoever with the stay. It was nice and cozy for me and my significant other. The kitchen space was perfect, as well as the living room. It was clean and comfortable. Perfect for a couple to stay in. Will definitely recommend for others!

We had such a wonderful time and could not have stayed in a better place. Sarah was so friendly and helpful. Parking was a dream. The place was so cozy and beautiful and in such an ideal location. Would highly recommend!

From her greeting you at the front door to making sure you have all that you need. Her place is perfect for a few days or even an extended stay! Located just off the highway and close to an amazing wine and restaurant - and minutes away from Beloit College! I recommend and look forward to my next stay

Beautifully renovated, extremely comfortable. Well-lit (not all places are)! Hosts respond quickly to messages. Truly felt like a home away from home. Adorable little town although note that it’s fairly quiet early in the week. Many shops are not open until Thursday or Friday and most places close by 5pm. Conveniently located to MANY state parks. I would definitely stay here again.

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.

Melissa provided exceptional customer service throughout our stay at the two-bedroom, two-bath condo in Chula Vista. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had everything we needed. The condo itself was fantastic, featuring a spacious layout and a relaxing jacuzzi that made for a perfect retreat. The location was ideal, allowing us to easily explore the local attractions and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. With Melissa’s prompt responses and willingness to go above and beyond, our experience was truly enhanced. We are grateful for her support and the wonderful accommodations!

We were all so happy to be back at Steampunk Manor! We stayed in the apartment this go round and had a ton of space for the kids. The beds were comfortable with nice linens, kitchen was well stocked, and plenty of board games. Wish we’d had more time to stay!

Easily one of the best Airbnb’s we stayed in. I would highly recommend it to my friends. Especially for families with children. We stayed at Anja and Chuck’s place in late April for four nights. This was our first visit to Madison. We loved the place. Clean. Has everything. Kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed and we cooked a lot. Kids loved the bunk beds, the games and the piano. Feels very homey and private and designed with so much care and attention to detail. Loved the plants, the art, the books, the music instruments! Parking was convenient and the closed back porch was great for my early work calls when everyone was sleeping. Truly a wonderful place. Anja was very responsive and proactive. Everything was clear. Questions and requests were answered promptly and Anja was super helpful. Would definitely come back if we visit again. Thanks for a lovely visit!

We stayed here for a Wisconsin Badgers football game, and I highly recommend it! Otto was extremely communicative and even allowed us an early check-in and flexible check-out.

Very clean and comfortable with some unexpected extras like lots of games and pool floaties. We really liked the location being close to all the attractions but tucked away in a wooded setting. It was a quiet, family friendly spot.

What a lovely and hospitable place! We loved our time there. The level of comfort was unmatched. We would happily return. Truly a wonderful experience!

Great people. We had a swift check-in and were welcomed by a beautiful space that provides absolute privacy. Could have been better if it was warm so you can enjoy the enormous space around the property. Can be suitable for retreats, intimate wedding venue.

The place was amazing in almost every way. The only one thing that was odd as it said it sleeps 4, but there was only one bed with sheets and blankets. On the couch bed, we had to contact housekeeping to get sheets and there were not any blankets for it. We did find extra pillows in the apartment though. Otherwise the place was wonderful, very cozy, clean, and comfortable. We loved it. It was a nice and quiet place to stay. The club amenities were awesome to have too.

Truly a gem near Lake Geneva. Plamena’s place was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to host our families. It was our first time vacationing again after having babies earlier this year and our toddler had a blast. She won’t stop talking about “her toys” at the airbnb. Plamena’s place is also a 5 minute drive to downtown Lake Geneva which was very convenient. Our overall experience was great, Plamena is an amazing host and we look forward to staying with her again in the near future.

We loved the porch along with the outdoor area!

We enjoyed our stay. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen is very well stocked, and living room couches very comfortable. Overall very pleased with the accomodations.
