Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Lake Mendota

Great location, quiet and private. We really appreciated how dog friendly the house was! Would 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 was our 2nd stay at the Car Wash and it was amazing. We will definitely be back. They have Everything you need to enjoy your stay and the bed is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on!

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 had a great time staying at Shaun's place. It was easy to check in and in a beautiful neighborhood. There are cafes in walking distance and you're about a 15-20 minute drive from downtown Madison. The home itself was very comfortable and had a spacious yard. We recommend it for anyone looking to stay in Madison.

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

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!

Charles is a gracious host of an impressive vintage house. The house has real plaster walls, wooden floors and trim. I felt like I was back in my Grandmother's house from the turn of the century (1900's) on the East Coast! If we come back to the area, this will definitely be our first choice.

Unbelievable how quiet it was at this location! The road it is on might have 1 car drive by per hour during the day, with much less cars at night. Great location in the countryside with Amish bakeries and businesses nearby. It is stocked with just about all the kitchen utensils and things you need for normal cooking, including some spices and seasonings, and the bathroom is supplied with all the necessary things, with a little more. The swing on the covered porch is excellent for relaxing, and night time sleeping, as is the couch. The firewood is cut perfectly to fit in the wood stove that very adequately heats up the place. The spring water that supplies the cabin will make your skin feel great after a warm morning shower. I was not a fan of the thought of having to wake up in the middle of the night and have to take care of nighttime bathroom needs by going up and down the ladder, so I never went up to the loft. I look forward to staying there again, hopefully during a snowstorm.

Really loved this Airbnb stay! Truly enjoyed the location, it was very peaceful. The host, Jolene and her husband were extremely welcoming and super nice. I look forward to coming back and enjoying a longer stay at this beautiful cabin.

Another wonderful stay! This was our second year booking this amazing getaway home, and it was just as perfect as we remembered. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. The location is unbeatable, and the hosts are always a pleasure to communicate with. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year!

Amazing house and tranquil location with easy access to all the area has to offer. The architectural beauty and attention to detail is incredible as well. We loved hot tub, outdoor gazebo and fire pit as well. Perfect for a getaway for all ages. We hope we can come back again soon!

My husband, two dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin! The point of my vacation was going somewhere we could take our dogs and this was the perfect spot to relax with them for a few days. Everything was clean and there was a perfect amount of space for us to relax. It was very quiet in the neighborhood and most of the time it felt like we were the only ones around. It was great to be able to walk to a very nice restaurant and bar a minute or two down from the cabin since we wanted to stay close. The only thing that bummed me out was we went at the end of May and the dock wasn’t put out - and I was hoping to spend time sitting out on the water. That could have been me not realizing the typical “season” but had assumed it’d be out so I recommend checking if that’s important to you :)

The cabin was beautiful and the location was amazing. It was really nice to see the bison walking around near the cabin and we were also able to have a really fun campfire outside in the fire pit. Also there was a gas grill where we could do barbecue. We had a really nice time and it was really clean and comfortable and cozy.

Our family of three plus two dogs had a great stay at Rebel's place! We loved that the cabin was set far back from the road, so our pups could safely explore the property. The setting is very serene and the only noises we heard were from the birds and frogs at the pond. The cabin itself was well stocked with everything we could need and the town of Hillsboro was just a short drive away. We would definitely return!

The Lamp Road Cottage was such a sweet place to stay for the weekend. The area was peaceful and the neighbors were all very nice! We enjoyed a fire by the lake every night, and our dog made many friends as well! We rented kayaks and a paddle board and everything was easily accessible!
