About this cabin rental

Please read thoroughly: We are happy to share our family get-away with you! We acquired this property to use personally and offer it to guests when not in-use by our own family and friends.

As a family, we all chip in to do our own cleaning and maintenance. We are not master landscapers or green-thumbs but we try our best. You will be in a rural setting and all that goes with it such as gravel road dust & mosquitoes to name a few. You will not find hotel corners on the beds and perfect creases in the towels, but you will find a tidy place where we like to spend family time.

LATE SUMMER 2026: New exterior paint & stain. If you stay, you may notice this is at different stages of completion. This is a DIY job done between guests.

This home has made great memories for a lot of guests! Our cabin is cozy and VERY casual -no frills!! This is an older constructed home. We cannot offer glitter, sparkle, shine or the latest and greatest technology. We do offer you a spot to lay your head, relax and bond with family and friends. Which is exactly how we use it. We provide basic amenities (bedding , towels & kitchen items) that we don't want to travel with so we share with our guests. We hope you can make memories of your own.

Unit features full kitchen & laundry, living room with gas fireplace and a full bath. This cabin has a small A/C unit and sleeps 5-6 adults.
There is an in-ground fire pit near the garage. There is some wood to burn behind the garage.

Always a great time at the cabin!! Great hosts, a homey, quiet and affordable place to stay. We've been coming for years in the winter, and will keep doing it. Comfy, warm, close to everything and still quiet

The only thing we struggled with was internet. My hotspot worked so we got by just fine, but keeping the tv connected was extremely difficult. Otherwise everything was clean, well stocked and a great get away for us!!We were able to relax and just depress. Nice walking path near by which we enjoyed every day we were there. The neighbors we encountered were friendly. Host was responsive when needed.

Worked great for us. Not fancy. But has what you need. Could use a good cleaning and no access to the garage so you have to park on street. Price was accurate. Host was responsive!

It is a great, quiet little cabin right next to lake Madison. However cleanliness is not top priority here. Beds are not made except with a fitted sheet and some had a flat sheet. What blankets they had smelled extremely dirty like smelly bodies. Washed one so we could use it. Ice in freezer smelled like it came right from the fish bucket. Cobwebs in bathroom with daddy longlegs. Will not be back to this property. Not as advertised pictures are not accurate. Host assured us things were clean which was NOT accurate.
