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!

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!

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

We very much enjoyed our stay. The location and view were lovely and quiet. We especially enjoyed the wildlife from the deck and the hot tub! We even had a bald eagle visit for a couple of hours on the sandbar right in front of us. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. A very relaxing weekend!!

Really beautiful home and fantastic space. We needed a large place for our family for a wedding in Madison/Oregon and this was perfect! Could not have been better. Joane was very friendly and helpful.

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

Had a wonderful time staying at the victory suite! Host was wonderful, very clean, & cozy. I went downstairs to their breakfast & lunch spot, Charlie’s Place, twice it was so good! Highly recommend their bacon,egg, & cheese croissant & this lovely airbnb☺️

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.

This was the most at home we’ve ever felt while traveling. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable! Laura was fantastic at communicating with us and is very kind. We will stay here again if we ever make another trip up to Rockford.

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.

Great location to enjoy the downtown area. Very clean and accurate to presentation on site. Host made check-in/access very easy. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

Nice big indoor pool (12 feet deep at one end and 3 feet at the other). The newly renovated rooms are very open and spacious. All the bedrooms are well kept. Lots of games to play(soccer table, poker, table tennis, etc.). Lots of pullout sofas and chairs. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Jack!!

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.

We enjoyed the beautiful views and peaceful surroundings! There was more than enough of space for our family of 5. Our stay was very comfortable and our boys enjoyed the delicious breakfast options every morning. Daniel was very friendly and provided useful information about things to do and places to eat in the area. We would definitely stay there again!
