Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Lake Monona

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!

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!

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!

Was a great vacation for our city dogs. One of our dogs is reactive and was super nice for her to have a wide open space to run. Dan is awesome and the kind of guy you’d like to go fishing with. 5 out of 5 stars

A great experience overall. Very clean and well furnished spaces. A nice book with instructions and places to visit. We enjoyed our coffee and meals in the outdoor space.

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!

we loved staying here! we loved how everything was labeled and knew where everything went, we loved the extra pickleball and volleyball equipment. over all very beautiful and felt right at home!

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.

Exactly as described/pictured. Easy to find, clean, older building w updates, perfect for a few nights.

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

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.

The Chateau (Robin's place) was just perfect for the three of us. It's peaceful rural location was beautiful and especially accessible for our hiking segments and connecting routes of the Ice Age Trail. It's also close enough to Baraboo, Sauk City, Merrimack, Prairie du Sac and even Madison...so you can explore small towns, villages and city life if you want or just soak in the beauty of the rolling hills in the driftless region. Our accomodations were just what we needed. Kitchen was well equipped and bathrooms were spotless. We were able to communicate with Robin easily. We also had an extra vehicle that she allowed us to park. We stayed there 3 times! Highly recommend it!

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!

We loved our stay here! It was just what we needed. The hot tub was an added perk, and we also enjoyed watching the little robot lawnmower do its thing! Would definitely come back again!

This is our second stay with Bente and we loved it just as much as much as the first time. We were included in social activities happening over the weekend on the farm which was an extra treat and was so kind. I love being able to show my kids the farm life and take a break from our regular life.

My two best friends and I stayed at the fabulous Refugio Graziella for a relaxing girls’ weekend and it. was. perfect. Most of the weekend was spent lounging and chatting in all the many wonderful spaces the home offers: sipping coffee on the peaceful screened-in porch, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows at the serene fire pit under the string lights with ample firewood and supplies, doing crafts and playing games at the inviting dining room table, cooking meals in the fully equipped kitchen, and listening to music in the cozy living room. We did not end up using the sauna (just didn’t have time), but are already planning a winter getaway to RG. We absolutely loved our stay and highly recommend it if you are looking for a quiet getaway, surrounded by nature but still a short drive away from anything you need or want. Clearly, so much thought was put into anticipating the needs of their guests, and that makes Refugio Graziella a place you immediately feel comfortable. 🥰

Beautiful and well done property with clear guidance for everything. Perfect spot for an overnight. We hope to return in the winter

3rd time staying at Erica’s place with our dog Archie , perfect spot to unplug and unwind for a couple days. Local eateries near by, easy drive into town too. Thanks again Erica!!

This was absolutely perfect for disconnecting and retreating. Such beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere! Every thing was exactly as described. The photos were spot on for check-in qnd much appreciated.

John and Sue were sooo sweet!! She made us a giant tub of delicious granola which our family devoured with our fruit and yogurt. He gave us a tour of the cabin and where to find things. We had our family's children for lunch and they LOVED the game room! The cabin is BEAUTIFULLY decorated and I loved the cabin theme throughout the entire house, including the bathroom. In addition to all of that, my family LOVED the peace of the cabin both inside and out.

Peaceful and well kept cabin, the family and I loved the prairie trails on the property. Also so close to multiple state parks and the dells. Looking forward to coming back!

I cannot recommend this Airbnb enough! Our group of 9 loved staying in this private, spacious lodge over Memorial Day weekend. A short 20 minute drive from Lake Geneva and only 5 minutes away from town, you can't find this kind of privacy and charm anywhere else. Check in/check out was seamless, and we were delighted by our host leaving us snacks, pancake mix, and coffee to enjoy. We enjoyed many beach volleyball games and bonfires, and the hot tub was an added bonus! Yecenia was friendly and responsive, and even dropped off an Apple TV console when our WiFi connection was unstable. Our large group never felt crowded in the space. I would absolutely book again!

Our stay at the hilltop hideaway was the perfect getaway for my friends and I for the weekend. The cabin was stocked with all of the amenities we needed and the area was so peaceful and beautiful. It was the perfect mix of feeling secluded, while also having easy access to town that was about a 5 minute drive away. The hosts were so easy to get in touch with, even though I barely needed to reach out because everything was right there for us. This was truly an amazing experience!
