Family-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Monona

This place provided exactly what we needed: peace, ease & a beautiful view of the water! The cottage is nostalgic and comfortable, providing the perfect getaway for a small group of people (although it feels extra special when it’s just two visitors). We watched movies from the DVD collection, bird watched, listened to oldies on the radio, and chilled out in the (very clean) hot tub! It was, without a doubt, the most relaxing time we’ve had in a long time.

An amazing spot with an amazing view. comfortable bed, great shower, and friendly host. Always look forward to staying at Ken's.

I stayed here for a long weekend with two friends for a girls getaway. It was perfect for us. The hot tub was spotless and heated for us when we arrived. The beds were soooo comfortable! The hosts live right below, so if we wanted to have a lively conversation after 10pm we moved up to the second floor living room that is in the master bedroom, and it was a perfect space. The view of the lake from the living room is beautiful. Many good restaurants are within a half mile walk (we loved Madison’s for brunch)! The only hassle is that there is only one small parking spot for this home, and on week days it is only 2 hour street parking. Also - There is also a ChargePoint charging station in the deck on 939 E Washington, within walking distance to the home.

We were looking for a quiet place with enough bedrooms for several families. This place was great. It was a nice country place with a beautiful surrounding. Grandkids loved the trampoline and hot tub. The interior was clean and well taken care of. It met all our needs. There were plenty of kitchen items for us to use. The beds were comfortable and rooms spacious enough for our belongings. We kept on the go quite a bit so were only there mainly in the evening but the grandkids had enough room to unwind and play once we got back home. Yes even though we didn’t live there it felt like home . We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit much since the outside temperature was in the high 80’s most of the time we were there, but there was plenty of wood and chairs available. If I were moving to Wisconsin this would be an ideal place to own. We absolutely enjoyed everything about this place. Katie and Scott were very responsive. Thanks for allowing us to stay.

A comfortable stay in a great neighborhood of charming older homes with an amazing view of the lake. Since we were there in the colder season, we were not able to enjoy the lake access and water activities. our host Douglas was very responsive and had detailed helpful instructions.

The house was very spacious for our family of 6. We loved the location, view, and short drive to everything we wanted to do.

We loved our stay. Such a peaceful setting and the home was very clean, cozy and comfortable. Joan was very helpful throughout our stay. We would definitely return.

Absolutely great location and a charming house. Brett is an easy host, communicated clearly and everything was as described. I brought a dog; humans and dog loved sitting on the porch and watching the river flow by.

Comfortable home, very spacious for relaxing and entertaining. Loved the verdant backyard and lake view. Nathan was very responsive and helpful.

Fantastic spot, great house all to yourself and a beautiful property to walk around. Nina was super friendly and accommodating, set up a fire for us and very quickly responded to messages

We very much enjoyed our stay at Granny's cottage. We went skiing at Devil's Head for the weekend and this place was the perfect place to stay! (Especially after reading the online reviews about the Devil's Head hotel/lodging...yikes!!). This place has everything you could possibly need, and then some. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a simple, peaceful, country getaway! Gretchen was very clear and upfront with her communication, and always very responsive to any questions we had. She does have a lot of "rules" but none of them are hard to follow as long as you are a semi-decent human being.

I loved this stay. The spot is in the perfect location. Easy access to trails, restaurants, and parks!

Joen and her husband were spectacular hosts! Stayed with my husband and 2 young children while I had a nearby work conference. The place was just as listed with all amenities we needed. The pool was great for the kids while I was away during the day. Plenty of space for the 4 of us to live for 3 days!

I sent my son to UW Madison and stayed for two weeks. The place is quite of good quality. The host always responds instantly.

Sally's place was amazing for my first month in Madison. It was 15 minutes away from everything but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. the roo. was beautiful, any issues were addressed quickly. communication was great. I loved having a maid service come by. Will definitely be staying here when I come back to Madison!

This was a great place to stay for a few weeks. Felt like a nice apartment, good for cooking. It had all the necessary kitchen equipment and other things necessary for a comfy stay. It is well located to get around Madison.
