今年10月份開始裝修了!確實應該裝修了,不過房子非常有歷史的沉澱感!

For some reason we didn't realize that the garden view room was in the basement so we had to climb up and down stairs which was difficult for me as I am in remission from multiple myeloma. I probably would have given five stars if we would have stayed on the first floor. All in all it was a good experience. The scones were delicious and David made us spinach scrambled eggs for breakfast which we're all so very good. He also gave us good tips on navigating the area.

This was an unexpected last-minute stay and we were SO delighted to find this gem in the heart of Madison. This is the perfect place to find relaxation and also access all of the excitement and fun that Downtown Madison has to offer. Sunrises and sunsets are unparalleled and the hosts were welcoming and provided top-notch service! I hope to be able to stay again after their upcoming renovations.

Serene Peaceful beautiful property. The hosts are sweet knowledgeable. The place is very clean, there’s nothing negative there. It was a second stay for us. And there’s plenty to do if you feel adventurous.

Cozy and sweet Excellent location for walks, restaurants and the Capital, Mendota House also looks over Lake Mendota (duh). The view is awesome. There is a lovely community space to sit and sip tea. Everywhere you look there is art and plants. The owners are Covid- conscious, which is important. I appreciated their continental breakfast as well.
