Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lake Mendota

Great location, quiet and private. We really appreciated how dog friendly the house was! Would recommend.

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!

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.

Stayed for a week to be close to family. It was perfect for what we needed. My son enjoyed the fishing and caught a decent sized catfish. The space was clean, very homey, and the view was spectacular! Anytime I had to reach out Kimberly was very responsive and nice.

Arbor Hill House is one of the best Airbnb’s I’ve ever stayed in! It was cozy, spacious, and felt so homey. We had a group of 5—two couples and a single person—and there was plenty of room for all of us to have our own space. The living room is very accommodating for big groups, with a large sectional couch, recliner, and dining table with comfy rolling chairs. And the screened in porch was the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful weather! The loft is awesome. The bed is very comfortable and the attached bath is spacious. The sauna worked wonderfully and was a favorite accommodation amongst our group! It can fit two people at a time. And the overall vibe was perfect. Very 70’s, lots of thriving plants, and warm lighting. Last but not least — Josh was the best host! Josh left thorough instructions so we would be comfortable during our stay and was very easy to get in touch with. And the home was SPOTLESS! So clean the couch had vacuum lines on the couch. Literally 10/10!

We stayed at Fred’s place for our daughter’s graduation from UW-Madison. It was wonderful and a home away from home. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The mall is not that far away with plenty of places to eat. Highly recommended!

Beautiful, clean, comfortable house in a great location. We would definitely stay here again.

communication with Katherine was easy.

A perfectly located, immaculately kept loft. The view over looks the family park with great restraunts and shops within walking distance. Cold glasses, New Glarus beer and bottles of ice water are stocked in the refigerator. There is also a Keurig coffee maker with coffee! This is our 3rd stay at one of Diane and Brents AirBNBs and as always the communication is great and the stay has been relaxing, fun and wonderful!

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

The place was as advertised and more. The bedrooms and bathroom were spacious, and the kitchen and living room were very comfortable. It’s in a great neighborhood with Bernie’s Beach and South Shore Drive/walking path on Lake Monona 2 blocks away. Lakeside Coffee House was a treat three short blocks away. As a former resident of Madison I had forgotten how convenient the Bay neighborhood is to handy thoroughfares. And yet, the neighborhood is very quiet.

Barbe's place has beautiful gardens and landscaping with a private patio where you can watch the birds fly in and out. The interior is comfortable and homey, yet very stylish. The place is spotless and well stocked with all the necessities. We slept well and would stay here again. Thanks Barbe!

This place was wonderful!!!! Alexander is a wonderful host. He had so many amenities- kitchen spices, dish detergent, shampoo, towels, extra blankets- anything you could think of! Place was so fun- fabulously decorated! Kitchen had everything for us to cook a large family meal! Porch has spectacular views. Very walkable to everywhere. Host responded to everything we asked so kindly and quickly!!!! Wonderful experience! Celebrated our son’s graduation and would recommend to any other family to stay here- it was perfect!!! Thanks.

Amazing stay, walking distance to the lake and a few food places and only a short drive to anything else you need or want. The place was spotless with good sized bedrooms and a larger living room/ kitchen than we anticipated. Amazing hosts too. Thank you for making us welcome.

This is our second stay with Bente and we loved it just as much as much as the first time. We were included in social activities happening over the weekend on the farm which was an extra treat and was so kind. I love being able to show my kids the farm life and take a break from our regular life.

This place is absolutely wonderful! We have stayed here many times and always look forward to coming back. Melissa is a wonderful host, she and her husband take great pride in their place and making sure their guests are taken care of. The place is spotless and the “extras” that they provide are very much appreciated.

This condo is clean and very comfortable. It is supplied with everything you need! We were in town for a wedding and unfortunately, didn't get to take advantage of all the great amenities. If we're in the area again, we would stay here.

Clean, family friendly, quiet escape from the tourist areas.

Beautiful place and gorgeous scenery right on the water. We enjoyed the stay very much, didn’t even feel like you were in the dells but still close enough if you wanted that experience. However, we enjoyed how secluded it felt. We would stay here again and recommend it to any of our friends.

We just stayed 2 nights but it was very comfortable and a great location. Right on the water, just north of downtown dells. Good walking path to downtown. Easy instructions to get in and a very clean condo. Just note, to get in, you need to walk all the way around on the right to the water side of the building, to access the door.

Really nice apartment in a beautiful location right on the river. So peaceful in the morning. Very easy to find and get into. Exactly as described. Coffee pot with coffee bags, sugar and creamer including microwave popcorn and chocolate biscuits. Nice welcome pack. Lots of cutlery crockery and pans but didn’t see any oil or condiments. If you are going to cook you’d need to bring some. Had problems with the tv instructions but after contacting Ashley somebody came to the condo within 15 mins and sorted out for us. May need to update instructions or check settings haven’t been touched to save inconvenience. Just to note the smaller bedroom has the boiler in it which is very noisy. We had ear plugs so was ok for us but if you come in the cold weather and need heating you would need to bear in mind. Overall a lovely stay in a quiet area of town within a short walk to all amenities. Would recommend.

Great host and a great space. Reminded me of the early days of Airbnb when people went out of their way to make you feel welcomed and have a good time. Highly recommend!

Lori’s place was amazing! The location was perfect, peaceful, yet centrally located near tons of things to do. Whether you want to explore or just head back to relax, it’s the ideal spot. I highly recommend taking your coffee out onto the balcony to enjoy the beautiful view, it was one of my favorite parts of the stay. Lori was incredibly responsive and checked in often to make sure I had everything I needed. I would 100% stay here again in a heartbeat!

Great, comfortable place to stay for my birthday.
