Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Dane County

We spent the weekend here and enjoyed the house, especially our time hanging out in the yard and on the back deck! The house was very clean and thoughtfully prepared for guests. We appreciated the blackout shades, comfortable beds, and relaxing vibe. And having a garage space was very convenient!

From the beautiful windows, instruments, homey feel to the open communication, cleanliness, AC, and abundance of activities and restaurants recommended, this was a very nice stay. We brought our 2 dogs and they both took to the place like it was their own. Super useful amenities such as the bikes and paddleboards! The personal dock was a peaceful little spot to sit and take in the elements. Learning something about your host while in their home for a few days was a very intimate and sweet touch 😊 Also, labels everywhere for almost everything, loved that! Thank you, Douglas 🤙🏼

Michelle is a great host. Very communicative and helpful. We loved the snacks Michelle so kindly had ready for our family when we arrived! Paoli place is cozy with comfortable mattresses. With a peaceful view of the backyard we were able to watch various birds, squirrels and even a deer right from the kitchen window. Great walking trail nearby and close to a grocery store, coffee shop and cafes.

This is one of the most aesthetically gorgeous, peaceful and unique Airbnb experiences I've enjoyed. What an absolutely lovely sanctuary of light, simplicity, and calm refuge just 30 minutes drive through rolling farmland, woods and wetlands from downtown Madison and the UW campus. The indoor fireplace and hot tub are such fabulous highlights! I loved every aspect of the orchard house including Josh's proactive tips and quick responses to a couple of minor questions I had. This was a really lovely place to spend a long weekend. I will be back and have already told all my friends about it. Bravo!

This is a gem if you like to walk to local restaurant have access to all the stores you need and a need to feel surrounded by nature. The master bedroom was so wonderful with a screen door to leave open at night for fresh air, also a small balcony to view the water from bedroom. We left the outdoor summer lights on the deck that somehow reflected on the ceiling of the master bedroom at night it left a beautiful light pattern, magical place, to see turtles, birds and we saw a heron as we left the house, resting on the dock. Great location and amazing hosts! We had dinner on the grill with music it was simply perfect.- Thanks, again to our hosts! Worth it!

Jordyn’s place is fantastic and she is an excellent host. The house has everything you need and is well organized. Jordyn is very proactive, communicative, and considerate. Highly recommend this stay!

This was such an amazing home for a family vacation! They supply everything you could possibly need and are the friendliest hosts! My whole family had a great time and we will most definitely be back!

We had a wonderful time.! We enjoyed the peacefulness and wildlife at Mike’s place. We took advantage of the nearby park for biking. We tried to fish off of the dock. We throughly enjoyed the hot tub on several occasions. It was wonderful having s’mores around the fire. We took advantage of local dining as well as driving 20 minutes to Madison. We loved the Brazilian Steakhouse! We also traveled 35 minutes to Fort Atkinson to enjoy our favorite dinner theater, the Fireside. There is a delicious local bakery that is inexpensive. Go in the morning because they sell out. My very favorite part was watching and listening to the birds. Mike has a bird feeder that attaches to the window in his sun room. We went to Walmart 10 minutes away and bought bird seed (on the last day I saw Mike has bird seed) and 2 cakes of suet. The suet was gone in 5 days! That’s how many birds we had. The home is clean and well appointed. They have MANY books sitting out.

The guest suite was extremely spacious, clean, & charming. The beautifully landscaped property is tucked away in a small, rural neighborhood (perfect for walking our dogs!), yet very convenient for getting around the Middleton/Madison area. Phill & Vickey are very gracious hosts. We would definitely stay here again when back in the area!

Hello! Elizabeth was a wonderful host, she was very informative and recommended a lot in the area. You can really tell she cares for her guests and the space. It was a beautiful home and my group is so happy we stayed there.

Easily one of the best Airbnb’s we stayed in. I would highly recommend it to my friends. Especially for families with children. We stayed at Anja and Chuck’s place in late April for four nights. This was our first visit to Madison. We loved the place. Clean. Has everything. Kitchen was amazing and had everything we needed and we cooked a lot. Kids loved the bunk beds, the games and the piano. Feels very homey and private and designed with so much care and attention to detail. Loved the plants, the art, the books, the music instruments! Parking was convenient and the closed back porch was great for my early work calls when everyone was sleeping. Truly a wonderful place. Anja was very responsive and proactive. Everything was clear. Questions and requests were answered promptly and Anja was super helpful. Would definitely come back if we visit again. Thanks for a lovely visit!

Very comfortable place to stay while visiting family nearby in Madison. The place was very clean, had everything you would need, and loved all the books in the bedroom. There is a nice guide with suggestions on restaurants and things to do, and the bonus of the snacks and drinks was very nice--and much more robust than I've seen in other places. Not something hosts need to do, but it sure is a nice and thoughtful touch. Which reflects on how nice and thoughtful these hosts are. Highly recommend this place!

We loved our stay at Tricia’s whimsical, boho home. The artistic, multi-level layout was perfect for celebrating my daughter’s 5th birthday weekend. The space had plenty of room, creative decor, and nostalgic touches like the Wii, which my kids loved. My daughter was able to relax with Bluey upstairs while I prepped meals and unwound after our days exploring nearby Madison. We visited the Madison botanical gardens, children’s museum, and Capitol, and enjoyed two local diners with great food and reasonable prices. A couple of great surprises made the trip even more special: Fireman’s Park across the street had an outdoor movie night (Moana 2), food trucks, a splash pad, and an updated playground. Tricia also surprised my daughter with birthday cupcakes and a gift card to Woolly’s Snack Shop, where we got ice cream on our way home. Lots of sleeping options, games, and puzzles made the home even better. Tricia was super communicative and we’d definitely stay again.

I travel to the Madison area for work often and have stayed at Kathryn’s place a few times. The rental is the full second floor of a home in DeForest, a quiet little village not far outside Madison. It’s a clean, well-equipped, comfortable unit, with a private entrance, that makes a great base for exploring DeForest and the broader Madison area. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
