Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Dane County

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!

Mark was a great host. The location of the house worked well as we were there to play golf and check out down town. 20min Uber to everything. The only thing we would change is how close you are to the neighbors. One of them communicated to Mark at 4pm saying we were being loud. We were in the back yard playing card games and enjoying spotted cows. Mark was very cool about it. Overall a great place to stay if you are going to check out Madison. Thanks Mark!

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 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!

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!

Nice spot, amazing location. We slept 6 for a conference and it worked out. Recommended.

My family and I stayed at Amy's house for my daughter's graduation from UW-Madison. It was easy to get to and from campus by Uber or a nice, long stroll. Amy was a pleasure and so easy to work with. She was quick to respond to texts and very friendly and helpful. Not only was her home charming and comfortable, it was SPOTLESS! There was not a speck of dust to be found. It's hard to believe this is her primary home with a young family. The kitchen was well-equipped and the bathrooms had everything you would need. I highly recommend this beautiful home for your next stay in Madison.

communication with Katherine was easy.

The guest suite was extremely spacious, clean, & charming. The beautifully landscaped property is tucked away in a small, rural neighborhood (perfect for walking our dogs!), yet very convenient for getting around the Middleton/Madison area. Phill & Vickey are very gracious hosts. We would definitely stay here again when back in the area!

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.

This place was exactly right for our needs, with a fully stocked kitchen and a great bed. Blue Mounds is a cute spot with easily reachable trails, and there is a nice walking path nearby this Airbnb that is within walking distance. Mt. Horeb next door has some great spots for food. If you are an early riser, this is a great option. If you tend to sleep past 7:30, be aware that the noise from the coffee shop next door- people talking, moving, eating- is as loud as it being in the room with you, and the coffee grinding will be happening right next to the bed about half an hour before opening. Just something to be aware of to note the hours of it before booking, if you are planning to snooze. We had to be up by 6 so this wasn't an issue.

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.

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!

Studio apartment with queen bed and nice kitchen and shower was fine. Back of the building was quiet. Location good. Would stay again

One of the nicest AirBnB’s I’ve stayed at. Very clean, tidy, well appointed. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. Close enough to all that downtown Madison offers, while being far enough away to offer peace and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

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.
