Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Lake Monona

very cool mid-century decor and filled with everything you might possibly need during your stay. the host was very responsive to messages. I was attending a wedding at Wildwood Cottage and this was an excellent lodging option for me. definitely would recommend to anyone staying in the area who appreciates a vintage vibe.

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!

Kevin was a great host! He welcomed us with a nice gift as a welcome to Wisconsin. He was communicating well with us on the trip. The place was beautiful! It was so peaceful and very quiet. We were just a short walk to the town which was such a cute town with a great antique store and coffee shop! (You must go to the coffee shop!) The house had so many fun things to do. I personally enjoyed the basketball court the most! Many games to play and a great fire pit. The fridge was so much fun to draw on and listen to music throughout the kitchen area. If you plan on a get away trip or a short distance away from Madison I suggest you stay here!

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!

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.

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

The hosts were friendly and accommodating. Our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until past 2am. They were very cool and flexible about it, although we felt awful. They were chatty, but not overwhelmingly so. The apartment is HUGE and lovely. Highly recommend this listing. Thank you!

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.

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!

Valerie has a truly magical yard! It’s a great area to get away for a little R&R. The place comes stocked with everything you would need for your stay. We appreciated having a kitchen to cook our meals. The location is great if you like to hike or kayak. The river is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. Valerie was the best host we have had to date! She goes the extra mile to make sure your taken care of.

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. 🥰

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 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!

Wonderful few days at Mark's place! The cabin was adorable, and we enjoyed the sauna, stoneware, and peaceful setting. Mark was super responsive and kind throughout the whole visit -- awesome to see his studio and learn about wood fired pottery as well!

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.

We are incredibly grateful for such a wonderful stay. The cottage was absolutely perfect—exactly what we needed for a peaceful retreat. The charming, private cabin was impeccably clean, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The backyard patio, complete with a fire pit, was ideal for our relaxation, and we truly appreciated the opportunity to enjoy the kayaks and canoe. Every detail was thoughtfully provided, ensuring we had all the amenities needed for a truly rejuvenating experience. Thank you again for your hospitality!

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!
