ONE OF A KIND vacation rental with a view

Arbor Hill House - Unique A-frame vacation rental perched atop a hill with great views overlooking the Beltline, UW Arboretum and the city of Madison. Excellent central location with easy access to all parts of Madison and surrounding areas. I'll be happy to do whatever I can to make your stay a pleasant one. This is my personal home so please keep things clean and be respectful. This home should not be used for parties or events. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I look forward to sharing my home with you.

(Corona virus concerns? -- I do all the cleaning myself, so I know the place is kept very clean. For example, I use sanitizing wipes on all of the door knobs, light switches and TV remotes throughout the house. I use a fabric disinfectant spay on all the furniture and throw pillows. The towels, sheets and blankets are washed with a sanitizing soap and dried extra long at high heat in the dryer. I have hand sanitizing soap and wipes available for the guests to use. I would argue that my place is one of the best germ-free places you could be).

Beautiful home

Location wasn't too bad, just off of the beltline. Probably a reasonable walking distance to restaurants and stores on fish hatchery road, but we drove due to the weather. The house is very nice, especially the upstairs loft.

Great house, convenient location

House is like a step back in time. 70s A frame with a cool loft. We enjoyed it except for the extremely loud road noise from the deck. We also weren’t aware from the listing that the house is connected to another house, but that never interfered with our stay. Still would be good to have that in the listing. Clean, comfortable home. Host was very responsive.

Beautiful A-frame cottage with a hippie twist. We absolutely adored the place. Very very clean and nicely kept up. The house has a nice little enclosed sunroom with an awesome view. We loved all the live plants throughout the place. Communication with the owner was wonderful and very quick. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Madison.

Girls weekend getaway

This year we had girls weekend in Madison. We had such a great time and this rental definitely added to it. We enjoyed that it was unique and not your average everyday house. We all slept great and really enjoyed the screened in porch. It was easy to get to State St and hit up the Farmers Market.

Fantastic place to stay!

We just stayed at the Arborhouse for the second time. Once again, we were extremely happy with our stay! The house has a fantastic vintage feel while being very clean and comfortable. It's located in a convenient area of Madison, and it was easy to get wherever we wanted to go in the area. Communication with the host was easy and accurate. I would absolutely recommend this rental, and I'm certain my husband and I will be back again!

great location, very comfortable

While visiting family in Madison we stayed at Arbor Hill House and it worked very well for us. The house itself is an interesting mix of modern comfort and great 60s vibe. It was extremely clean and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and, though we didn't cook there, anyone would find it easy to prepare and enjoy meals. The host was very informative and responsive which made using the house a breeze. One caveat: if stairs present a challenge this would not be your choice but we did not find it at all difficult.
