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.

Great place for graduation weekend!
The house was so convenient to campus and worked really well for our family for UW graduation. Kate communicated clearly and promptly and there were fresh baked goods for us on arrival! The house has a record player and some great 70s and 80s albums that we really had fun listening to while we played games. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely weekend getaway
My friends and I (2 couples and a single) stayed here for a friend's wedding on the east side of Madison. The location was very convenient, with Uber rides into town at about $10. We also enjoyed the nearby Olbrich gardens and bike paths. The house itself is charming and has all amenities. It is a bit creaky so you'll hear every footstep of your housemates during the stay, but it wasn't too annoying.

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.

Great stay in Madison for graduation weekend!
Our family was lucky enough to stay at this property for UW Madison Grad weekend-from the easy check in, spotlessly clean house and the delicious treats left by the owner we could not have been happier. Comfy beds, stocked kitchen, artistically decorated and homey feel. We especially loved the back yard, fenced in for our dog, full of bird feeders and plants, with a covered area to hang out in at night. Close to downtown Madison and the campus area for easy access to all the fun activities Madison has to offer.

Wonderful
This was a wonderful experience. The host was very accommodating. Our stay was over Christmas, and it was nice to have a little tree. She left wonderful goodies and the house was very inviting. I would be quite happy to stay there again. Most important, I felt my furry friend, my dog was very safe. We took walks in the neighborhood and enjoyed quiet times when not visiting family. Thanks to Kate for a very enjoyable visit.

Ladies trip with fur babie
Property was exactly as listed, easy to find and had the most inviting and relaxed vibes. The home is absolutely adorable and the backyard is fantastic. I never worried that my very athletic, herding dog would be able to escape and roam the neighborhood. If your a pet mom or pet dad, you know that's always a big relief to have your fur babie happy and safe. This place is definitely a 10 out of 10 would recommend. Don't tell everyone otherwise we can't get in again, because everyone will want in on this hidden gem.

Cozy
Well, my wife is looking at property in Madison following our stay. We came to town for a wedding. We loved exploring the area surrounding the VRBO on foot, and also found much to see and do in the downtown area. This house was a spectacular home base at which to recharge. It had everything we needed, and was visually pleasing with the warm lighting and wood finish. This would be a good place for entertaining a group, or for a bunch of introverts to chill out and read.

Quiet respite
We stayed here for the weekend of our daughter's wedding in Madison. It was a super busy weekend, and although we did not have a lot of time at the house, it was wonderful to be able to have it for a quiet respite. My husband had a nice nap in the outdoor "zen space", and we all enjoyed the snacks which Kate left for us. I highly recommend! Janet

Great Stay for the Family
Our group of 3 adults and our 70+ year old parents really enjoyed our stay! We were visiting family in the area and the location was very convenient to downtown Madison. The neighborhood was quiet and the yard is a great bonus hangout area. It had snowed before our arrival and Kate had the driveway and sidewalks cleared so it was very easy getting in and out. The stairs to the bedroom level are a bit steep, so it could be tricky with younger kids or anyone with mobility issues. The kitchen was well equipped to cook full meals and the living area is quite comfortable - we enjoyed picking out records to listen to. Would definitely stay here again.

The best Short-term rental ever
I have never felt as welcomed and delighted as I was by Kate’s place. A great value. Lots of extra love. An authentic home. Prompt, clear, professional communication. Well-equipped, pleasant to be in. Great furniture, kitchen fit-out, and beds. I will be back and next time I’ll stay as long as I can. Truly a special place.

Family trip to Badger game!
We had a group of 6, ages 16 to 60, along with our dog. We all agreed.. this will be our “go to” place whenever we come back to visit. Kate our host answered every question about going to a Badger game (it was our first time).. so don’t be afraid to ask questions! We have more family in the area and the back yard was perfect for a fire that evening after the game so we could all visit ( nice quiet neighborhood and neighbors… very family friendly). Exactly what we needed after spending 8 hours downtown at the Badger game. I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Madison memories made
What a great spot! Close to everything we needed. Three bedrooms each with queen beds. Plenty of room. Great kitchen. Property owner set up everything you need. Very clean. We were in the area to visit friends and see live music, which both were amazing and after covid was sooo needed. We felt safe and relaxed during our time on this property. Would definitely stay here again. (We might have to bring along an Iowa Hawkeye item to counter all the Badger stuff!! Lol. )

Cozy home away from home for Thanksgiving
Four of us stayed over Thanksgiving week. Kate was a great host. She left out dishes for us to use for Thanksgiving dinner, checked often to make sure we had what we needed, left us baked goodies and some potatoes/vegetables for our dinner, and gave suggestions on places to go nearby. Communication was excellent from the time we booked all the way through the stay. The fenced yard for the dogs was very helpful; Kate’s listing is by far the most dog-friendly we’ve seen on any hosting sites. The listing does not show it clearly but there is a 4 seat dining area. Kate left us an extra folding table that worked great for a larger group. Also, the bathroom in the basement is listed as a half bath but it is actually a full bath with a shower curtain door. This house would not be good for anyone with issues going up and down stairs but it was perfect for us. Very cozy and comfortable with plenty of extra towels and blankets and a fully stocked kitchen. Thank you Kate for a wonderful home away from home.

Great House with Even greater Host
First the house. Very clean and it had everything you needed including a BBQ and nice patio out back. Lots of towels , beds were good and the air conditioning was definitely used on those hot summer days. This is a very old house that has been well looked after, bathrooms are either upstairs or downstairs which was not an issue for us. The host Kate arrived on time and gave us the most thorough walk through and best welcome we have ever had (and we have used rentals all over the world). She explained where everything was and made us feel welcome in her home. She left us (actually credit goes to her Mom) homemade cookies and brownies and even restocked the jar part way through our week stay. They were delicious, thank you Kate’s Mom! Great communication with Kate, we had shortened our stay by a day several months prior with no problem. I thought the change fee applied by VRBO was excessive and though Kate was not responsible for this fee she felt bad and when we got there had a gift certificate to a local pub. Thank you for going above and beyond Kate we enjoyed our Friday night fish fry there. Quiet old neighbourhood, very easy to get out onto the freeway or to downtown Madison. Large trees around the house and evening walks in the neighbourhood were cool and relaxing. Loved our stay here. Thanks Kate.
