Holiday rentals with lake access in Lake Mendota

The building is very cute. We arrived late but check in was easy and William is responsive on whatever we need. Unfortunately, there were a few things missing from what described but William was able to rectify it quickly. It is quite peaceful and great place to come with our pets. We saw some deers and lots of birds. Only 12 minutes drive to Lake Geneva which also provided lots of walking area with our pups.

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

We LOVED this Airbnb! Everything was perfect for our "Mom's get-away trip"! The house was immaculate & had a great floorplan. The kitchen was even bigger & nicer than the pictures looked & fully stocked with everything you would need. The groundskeeper came immediately & got the water toys ready. We met neighbors across the lake & even hung out at their house the 1st evening! Everyone was super friendly. Roger was on it! Very responsive & easy to work with. 10/10 all around!!! Even left us beautiful flowers on our arrival! The lake was beautiful. The only negative was we weren't there long enough. Definitely went too fast! We hope to return again in the coming years!!! ❤️

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 had a great stay at Lexi’s place. The view is great and the house had everything we needed to make ourselves at home for the week. We would definitely stay here again when we are in the area.

Great place by the lake. Close to Chicago for a day trip and great restaurants nearby. The home was well equipped with what we needed and the hot tub was a perfect temperature for the chilly evenings. Zan was a responsive host and we had no issues throughout our stay. The beds and couches were comfy and clean. Would definitely stay again.

My family and I enjoyed a lovely stay at this location. The house was cozy and clean, with everything we needed for a great stay. Including a well stocked kitchen and beach supplies. Dan & Donette we’re very responsive to anything that we needed. We will definitely stay again!

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

This apartment was super cozy and warm. Everything was labeled nicely and everything we needed could be found in the kitchen and the bathroom.

Wonderful stay with comfortable beds, great communication, Tea/coffee for the morning, new everything, and really clean. We appreciated Ben's responsiveness and that he went above and beyond to accommodate us for our 3 night stay. It is right near the U of W - Whitewater but quiet in the apartment. There was only some noise at night upstairs one of the nights. However, a quick text to Ben and he worked with them to get it quiet again. SO appreciated this stay and Ben's hosting skills! THANK YOU!

The Blue Belle was perfect for our family of four adults during a wedding we attended in the area. There are two lakes and a cool upscale town area that's super walkable from the house. You'll find many restaurants, coffee shops and huge homes there plus a big friendly farmer's market Saturday mornings. Jason and Melissa were so easy to communicate and even checked in with us on the second day to make sure we had all we needed. I would stay here again!

Alexander's flat in Madison was perfect for our stay. Right downtown, a stone's throw from the capital, and about a mile from the heart of the UW campus, this home was fantastic with a beautiful view of Lake Mendota. The best part of the experience was how easy it was to work with Alexander. He was very responsive to every question, he was proactive about giving us information needed for an easy and comfortable stay, and he was extremely thorough in the information needed about checking in and out of the apartment. All in, this was a great experience and I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks Alexander. - Joe S

The place was as advertised and more. The bedrooms and bathroom were spacious, and the kitchen and living room were very comfortable. It’s in a great neighborhood with Bernie’s Beach and South Shore Drive/walking path on Lake Monona 2 blocks away. Lakeside Coffee House was a treat three short blocks away. As a former resident of Madison I had forgotten how convenient the Bay neighborhood is to handy thoroughfares. And yet, the neighborhood is very quiet.

Bill and Carol’s nautical cottage was the perfect escape for our girls weekend! They were the most helpful and kind hosts I’ve ever experienced. Bill made us feel right at home and was so welcoming. The house was pristine and cozy. And within walking distance of so much to do. 10/10 recommend!

Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Steve was very responsive and provided a quick tour of the place at check in. My wife and I traveled with our 2 year old and he had the place ready for a toddler, including a pack-n-play. Location was great, easily walkable to everything in town

Catherine’s a great host. The apartment is very cozy/comfortable and right in the center of downtown. Walkable to pretty much everything. Won’t find a better stay in the area.

There needs to be a level beyond Super Host, like Extra Special Super Host!! Kelly & Scott would definitely qualify!! The Cottage is exactly as it appears on the airbnb site. What you don’t realize is just how comfy, cozy, quiet and peaceful it is. A quick 30 minute highway ride was all it took to connect with family in Madison this holiday weekend. When you live on water, it’s hard to do without the view. Not necessary with the Rock River right in the front yard here. Thanks for the perfect holiday weekend. Cannot wait to come back to The Cottage.

Wonderful stay! It’s the perfect location and has amazing charm. A short walk to Main Street shops, restaurants, and of course the lake! Brennan is a great host - responsive and shares local recommendations. Easy check-in/check-out process. Clean. Safe. Comfortable beds. All around great place! Would highly recommend and would come back!

Beautiful property and neighborhood. Very peaceful and quiet. The cottage was very well taken care of.

Me and my friends loved our stay, the place was exactly what we were looking for in terms of our getaway. Steve was a great and friendly host he was very responsive and put together when it came to communication with us. Would definitely recommend and even come again.

It’s just such a peaceful relaxing place to be. I just makes you feel at home.

Absolutely beautiful property. Great to walk along the river and pond. Cottage is very cute with a great bathroom. We'd love to stay here again.

What a beautiful view from the picture window! This place was charming and had everything you could need to relax. My host was very accommodating and attentive. She brought a basketful of fresh linens to accommodate my change in guests due to schedules and availability of my family and friends. The pizza place that was recommended was fantastic and they delivered. The place is in a great location, close enough to town but out in the country. The sunsets were enjoyed on the deck:) One morning early while lounging on the couch I saw a beautiful yellow autumn dressed tree and under it’s branches a buck, majestic with his antlers under the tree shaking the bottom branches:) Very peaceful. We also enjoyed siting around the smokeless fire pit. Thank you for sharing your home with us!:)

I had a truly wonderful stay at this Airbnb and its my third time its that good! The setting is absolutely gorgeous—right on the lake, with peaceful views that made every morning/evening feel like a retreat. Despite the tranquil location, it’s surprisingly close to local amenities, which made exploring and running errands super convenient. The host was incredibly responsive and kind, making sure we had everything we needed and more. The beds were exceptionally soft and cozy—perfect for a great night’s sleep after a day outdoors. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to relax in nature without sacrificing comfort!
