Original cozy farmhouse homestead 2 blocks from the bike path and

I live on the eclectic East side of Madison Wisconsin. My house in over 100 years old and is one of the original homesteads in the area (back in the day). This house is a 2 story house with 3 bedrooms, full bathroom upstairs and 1 bathroom with shower downstairs. Full kitchen and living room, fenced in back yard (dog friendly) with a fire pit for those who enjoy an evening campfire. The propery comes with an attached 3 seasons porch with a bar if one wishes to sit inside and chill. I live 2 blocks from the Madison bike path that will take you everywhere around Dane County. This bike friendly community offers a great opportunity to tour all of the local breweries throughout Dane and surrounding area. Please come and experience Madison, the State Capital, awesome State Street (which is a must visit if you have never!), Willy Street ( another must visit for an awesome cultural experience) and SO SO much more. Saturday’s farmers market around the State Capital is definately a stop in the morning to get a coffee in one of the local coffee shops and walk around and experience all of the local vendors offering organic foods! Madison, A great place to be.

We really enjoyed our stay while dropping our son off at UW-Madison. The house has lots of Badgers decorations which was fun. When we arrived we had homemade snacks in the kitchen! Yum! Check in and out was easy and we appreciated the homeowner checking in with us during our stay.

The owner made great efforts to make our stay enjoyable. There were lots of details that clearly showed she wanted to make our stay special. One thing to note: there is one bathroom upstairs if that is important to you.

Great place!

We enjoyed our stay, we were in town for the Ironman race. Liked having a house instead of staying at a hotel. Next to bike paths so easy to do a ride or ride into town. House was clean & it was the best stocked house we’ve stayed at on VRBO. She thought of everything you would need!

Fantastic Stay on the East Side

The location is great-- walkable about a mile from the many fine shops and restaurants of the east side. The garden and home were beautiful and very nicely maintained. Only (very minor) caveat is that folks with mobility challenges might have trouble on the second floor stairs to the bedrooms.

This home was a good fit for our group of 5 adults. Check-in was smooth, Kate gave great instructions and everything in the home was well labeled. The bedrooms were comfortable and had enough space. The backyard looked lovely although it was too hot out for us to enjoy. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The staircase to all 3 bedrooms is very steep - not a problem for our group but could be for someone with balance or mobility issues.

Great spot to access the best in Madison

We loved our stay at Kate's house. It was such a comfortable spot to enjoy Madison. We were visiting our son before the start of his senior year and this spot gave us a great place to just hang out on a rather rainy weekend. We even used the backyard grill to create a feast from our bounty from the Madison Farmers Market.
