Island View Hideaway-Peaceful, On Water, Sandbars!
Beautiful spot to relax, close to great hiking trails. The home was comfy and had some thoughtful extras.

Willow Lake Getaway Cozy for 2 - or large families
We LOVED this Airbnb! Everything was perfect for our "Mom's get-away trip"! The house was immaculate & had a great floorplan. The kitchen was even bigger & nicer than the pictures looked & fully stocked with everything you would need. The groundskeeper came immediately & got the water toys ready. We met neighbors across the lake & even hung out at their house the 1st evening! Everyone was super friendly. Roger was on it! Very responsive & easy to work with. 10/10 all around!!! Even left us beautiful flowers on our arrival! The lake was beautiful. The only negative was we weren't there long enough. Definitely went too fast! We hope to return again in the coming years!!! ❤️

Madison Lakefront Oasis in the Heart of Madison
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!

Beautiful Lake Home.
I stayed here with a few family members and it was a lovely experience. It looks just like the photos. A beautifully decorated space with a well-stocked kitchen, bedding, and towels. We really enjoyed the living and dining spaces, especially since we had two kids with us. The 3 bedrooms were cozy and comfy. The lake was a very close walk and I'm sure is gorgeous during the summer! Host was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.

3BR Home w/ Hot Tub 1.5 blocks from Lake Como
Great place by the lake. Close to Chicago for a day trip and great restaurants nearby. The home was well equipped with what we needed and the hot tub was a perfect temperature for the chilly evenings. Zan was a responsive host and we had no issues throughout our stay. The beds and couches were comfy and clean. Would definitely stay again.

Buoys UP! Lake Life & Sunsets
If I could give 10 stars I would! We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful view every morning and evening. They had thoughtful amenities and great accommodations for kids. We also had a chance to spend time at the park down the street and get food and drinks from the bar down the street, Overflow.

Yahara River paradise!
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

Fun Lake Kosh Private Pier, Decks, Fire Pit, Grill
Wonderful home for a big family or group! Lots to do (if you’re not already busy!). The home has everything you need to rest, relax, and make killer meals. Madison is a quick 30 minute drive away as well. Highly recommend.

Pet-Friendly Industrial 2 Bedroom Near UWW Campus!
Wonderful stay with comfortable beds, great communication, Tea/coffee for the morning, new everything, and really clean. We appreciated Ben's responsiveness and that he went above and beyond to accommodate us for our 3 night stay. It is right near the U of W - Whitewater but quiet in the apartment. There was only some noise at night upstairs one of the nights. However, a quick text to Ben and he worked with them to get it quiet again. SO appreciated this stay and Ben's hosting skills! THANK YOU!

Charming Historic Upper by Downtown & Lakes
It was so comfortable and quiet, which was nice. And what I especially remember is how soft my skin felt after taking a shower.

Prairie-Chic Downtown Lakeside
Alexander's flat in Madison was perfect for our stay. Right downtown, a stone's throw from the capital, and about a mile from the heart of the UW campus, this home was fantastic with a beautiful view of Lake Mendota. The best part of the experience was how easy it was to work with Alexander. He was very responsive to every question, he was proactive about giving us information needed for an easy and comfortable stay, and he was extremely thorough in the information needed about checking in and out of the apartment. All in, this was a great experience and I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks Alexander. - Joe S

Charming 3 Bedroom near Capitol and Alliant Center
Debbie was amazing!! She was so responsive and so so sweet. She was flexible when our trip changed and my employees just raved about how nice the place was. If we are back in Madison we will definitely be back at Debbie's place!

Downtown Lake Geneva-The Nautical Cottage
Perfect place for a girls weekend getaway! We loved how everything was in walking distance and we could easily come and go as we were shopping around Lake Geneva to drop off our goodies. The big kitchen table was amazing for sharing meals, playing games and just sitting around enjoy some great chats! Highly recommend Bill's place for your next stay in downtown Lake Geneva!

The VIP Room at The Cathouse Suites, Dogs OK w/$$
Awesome location. The place had everything we needed and was very clean. It was loud sometimes but it was really more because of the clientele at the bar across the street than The Grape Escape. Closing the windows and turning the air on helped a lot. Plus she does provide earplugs if needed. We would stay here again for sure!

Downtown Geneva Street Getaway
Lovely flat in the heart of downtown Lake Geneva. Clean, with everything you need. Tastefully decorated and comfortable. Includes two parking spaces which is a lifesaver in busy Lake Geneva especially on weekends. Owner Steve is friendly and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Beautiful property and neighborhood. Very peaceful and quiet. The cottage was very well taken care of.

The Cozy Lake House/Perfect Lake Front Getaway!
Steve is a great host and the house was amazing. Couldn't ask for a better view and relaxing atmosphere. We would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to the area.

Relaxing Cottage near Devils L
Absolutely beautiful property. Great to walk along the river and pond. Cottage is very cute with a great bathroom. We'd love to stay here again.

Hummingbird Haven Cottage on Lake Koshkonong
Beautiful stay! My sister and I stayed here with four of her friends for her chill bachelorette weekend and it was perfect! The cottage was very nice and clean, within walking distance to a few places to eat, and the host was super responsive. I highly recommend booking your stay here! I've already told my husband that we should go sometime and my sister already wants to go back too.

Lake View Retreat
What a beautiful view from the picture window! This place was charming and had everything you could need to relax. My host was very accommodating and attentive. She brought a basketful of fresh linens to accommodate my change in guests due to schedules and availability of my family and friends. The pizza place that was recommended was fantastic and they delivered. The place is in a great location, close enough to town but out in the country. The sunsets were enjoyed on the deck:) One morning early while lounging on the couch I saw a beautiful yellow autumn dressed tree and under it’s branches a buck, majestic with his antlers under the tree shaking the bottom branches:) Very peaceful. We also enjoyed siting around the smokeless fire pit. Thank you for sharing your home with us!:)

Charming and Cozy Cottage on Lake Sinissippi!
Angela’s cabin is the definition of cozy, charming, and relaxing. Tucked so close to the water, it feels like you’re floating on a houseboat! The one-bedroom space was just right for me, my husband, and our 13-month-old son. We spent our days fishing off the dock and soaking in the beautiful views. Angela was incredibly welcoming and always just a quick text away. It truly was the perfect spot for our little family getaway—10/10 would recommend again and again!
