Perfect Stay in a Peaceful, Fun-Filled Home Near the Expo
We enjoyed a relaxing stay on Winnequah during the World Dairy Expo. So many positives to share. The neighborhood is peaceful, and the house itself spotless, spacious, and really comfortable. The beds were comfortable, and the modern bathrooms included plenty of soft towels that felt like a treat. We loved the great acoustics for playing guitar and had a blast in the entertainment area with classic PacMan and Centipede arcades, darts and a pool table. The large deck, overlooking the water and beautiful trees, was perfect for enjoying meals together. The location couldn't have been better—so close to the Alliant Energy Center. We are already planning to book for next year!

Madison House on the Water
Everything about this house is beautiful--waterfront, kayaks, hot tub, paddleboards, pool table. Nice and clean and very nicely outfitted. The only reason for a four star review is the advertised price compared to final price after hidden fees. Hidden fees added 50% more to the cost.

Make sure to get travel insurance if you book this property!
We booked this home to gather and celebrate my father's 88th birthday. Sadly, Wisconsin weather took a turn for the worse with travel advisories statewide/nationwide AND my father got Covid. I understand the cancelation policy but was hoping that we could reschedule due to circumstances or at least have a partial credit to rebook with him. The answer was a firm NO. (Unless someone else swooped in to rebook the house for the weekend, which was highly unlikely.) The airlines, rentals car agency and caterer all gave refunds but this homeowner showed no empathy. Just a word of caution; book travel insurance with this property. Not the most compassionate owner (and we have a VRBO property ourselves.)

Easy to find, clean, had a lot of the essentials, liked that everything was labeled. My adult kids loved he pool table, darts, and Centipede video game. Had a lot to offer for the whole family. My only complaint would be that some newer frying pans are needed. Thank you for a great stay!

WOW!!
I was tasked to find the vrbo for our family trip to Madison. I felt like a rockstar all weekend because the house was AMAZING! It was beautiful, spacious, clean and so fun! There is so much to do but our favorite was sitting on the dock watching the boats pass through the channel. We also played pool, relaxed in the hot tub, played darts and video games. There is also a great waterfront pub across the river where we had a delicious Friday fish fry. The only negative was that the downstairs bedrooms were pretty stuffy and warm, even after we realized the vents were closed and opened them. But everything else was so wonderful that it didn't really matter. Our family will remember this trip forever and this property was a STELLAR backdrop for our memories.

The property was beautiful and the home had a lot to offer..water view, hot tub, family games, close to all of Madison’s activities. The only thing disappointing is that the property manager messaged me regarding the dog hair (which the cleaning firm stated hard to pick up). We paid EXTRA $40 per dog, per day = $240. The dogs were small and short haired. Maybe they should think twice about allowing pets next time, which is OK if they state that and not advertise pets and charge extra(which was fine) but then do not complain about it. Thank you
