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.

We were in town for a local convention, and this was an amazing stay. The house is well maintained and very well decorated. We had everything we could need and everything was clear and labeled. Her instructions were clear and communication was easy. I would totally recommend!

The owner made great efforts to make our stay enjoyable. There were lots of details that clearly showed she wanted to make our stay special. One thing to note: there is one bathroom upstairs if that is important to you.

We enjoyed our stay, we were in town for the Ironman race. Liked having a house instead of staying at a hotel. Next to bike paths so easy to do a ride or ride into town. House was clean & it was the best stocked house we’ve stayed at on VRBO. She thought of everything you would need!

We had a wonderful time visiting for a UW game. The house and yard are delightful! We enjoyed playing records, hanging out in the yard and the well stocked kitchen. An additional bonus is that Madison has many gluten free/ Celiac safe restaurants! My daughter ate out at several delicious places and had a great time. The owner is very attentive and available. I would definitely stay here again!

The location is great-- walkable about a mile from the many fine shops and restaurants of the east side. The garden and home were beautiful and very nicely maintained.
Only (very minor) caveat is that folks with mobility challenges might have trouble on the second floor stairs to the bedrooms.

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!

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.

Clean quaint home. Loved that it was dog friendly. Backyard was great for the dogs and a chill evening with a fire in the fire pit. Communication with owner was easy and she responded quickly.

Nice, comfortable house in quiet neighborhood. Everything we needed to enjoy a game weekend. Homemade cookies and vinyl records to play were fun touches.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
