Holiday rentals with lake access in Lake Monona

A comfortable stay in a great neighborhood of charming older homes with an amazing view of the lake. Since we were there in the colder season, we were not able to enjoy the lake access and water activities. our host Douglas was very responsive and had detailed helpful instructions.

Beautiful spot to relax, close to great hiking trails. The home was comfy and had some thoughtful extras.

We had a lovely stay here over the Christmas holiday with 4 adult siblings from out of state. Our host, Gayal, even reached out beforehand and asked if we’d like her to set up a Christmas tree for us, which was very kind and helped us feel more “at home” and festive! The home was beautiful, well furnished and decorated, lots of fun art, comfortable sleeping arrangements and a fully stocked kitchen. Very close to downtown Lake Mills and grocery/liquor stores etc as well as family we were visiting. We appreciated there being a few kids books and toys, puzzles, and a high chair, for our little niece who spent one afternoon with us. We are very grateful and would definitely return. :)

This lake house was amazing. It is completely updated. The view of the lake was incredible. Sitting by the fire and fishing. Could not have been better. The location to our events was great. Close to stores and restaurants. Just Dow the street from a park. It was perfect. I would definitely stay there again.

Cozy feel! Spacious enough for three couples. Great view off the living room. Nice touch with coffee station and welcome snacks. Felt as comfortable as home!

Loved this house! Has my bachelorette party here with 10 ladies and we felt right at home. Big enough and perfect lot. The many beds and sleeping spots were a big plus.

Stayed here for 2 weeks while we were visiting family and it couldn’t have been better. Home was lovely, well suited for what we needed and definitely kept the kids occupied with the toys and games that are available. Views were beautiful which is always a plus, would definitely book again for when we are back over. Couldn’t have hoped for a nicer place or hosts.

We had a family of 7 stay for the weekend for a baby shower. Céline home was beautiful, peaceful, and had all of the amenities you could ever need or think of. I would definitely recommend staying here if traveling with family in the area.

Ben’s place was perfect! Modern, comfortable, VERY clean - - we had everything we needed! Ben checked in with us at least twice a day (via app/email) to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay amazing! I’ve stayed in A lOT of air bnbs and I have never had anyone come close to how excellent Ben was at communicating and providing such a clean and comfortable stay. I’m pretty picky - and I have NEVER written a review - this is the first air bnb place and host that met all of my expectations. Thank you Ben! (I had sent A LOT of communications/requests that Ben responded to quickly. He accommodated all of my requests and was so polite with the barrage of requests I sent. I’m not always the easiest person to work with/please - - Ben went above and beyond!)

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!

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

Stayed on short notice for access to St Mary’s Hospital. Easy 1 mile walk to hospital. Nearby park for toddler. Quiet neighborhood. Debbie is kind, accommodating and responsive.

Jackie was an amazing host!! She was so responsive and so accommodating! We felt right at home and loved the use of the golf cart for our girls weekend!!

Alex was incredibly flexible with our group’s varied check-ins and check-outs. Other members of my group met him and his partner and expressed that they were both very friendly and welcoming! It is an older building so the floors squeak a bit, but I have no complaints. We enjoyed Madison and this place was perfect for our stay. The sunroom overlooking the lake was unbelievable!

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.

We had a great time and Jackie was very responsive to help with any questions or concerns. It’s a little further from clubhouse, pool and beach but having the golf cart was clutch. We would stay there again! Thanks Jackie!

There needs to be a level beyond Super Host, like Extra Special Super Host!! Kelly & Scott would definitely qualify!! The Cottage is exactly as it appears on the airbnb site. What you don’t realize is just how comfy, cozy, quiet and peaceful it is. A quick 30 minute highway ride was all it took to connect with family in Madison this holiday weekend. When you live on water, it’s hard to do without the view. Not necessary with the Rock River right in the front yard here. Thanks for the perfect holiday weekend. Cannot wait to come back to The Cottage.

Ashley was super helpful and flexible and the house was exactly as advertised.

Clean, comfortable, beautiful home in wonderfully relaxing setting. Great for a getaway from it all and very fun to have kayaks, pedal boat and paddle boards. Jenna is so responsive and caring that she beat the amount of time I’ve ever waited when calling for something from a front desk at a hotel! Fantastic host!

Such a lovely place on a beautiful lake. We loved sitting in the hot tub, enjoying the sounds of the lake and enjoying the cool breeze. Plenty of space for our large family. The game room was a total hit with everyone.

Lisa & Dave are amazing hosts and I would definetly recommend staying with them for anyone looking to explore the area!

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was exactly as described and very welcoming. We booked it for a peaceful, quiet weekend and it perfectly delivered. Everything was clean, well stocked, and well maintained. Angela was very responsive and her recommendations were super helpful. Definitely check out Ledge Park; it was a highlight of our trip. This was a great rental and we would definitely return.

This place was just as described! Very comfortable and beautiful right on the lake.

We had a great time here. The house was cozy and beautiful. Great place to rent with great restaurants near by and it has peace and quiet.
