Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Lake Mendota

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!

The Car Wash Inn was such a fun place to stay. The decor is really unique and we enjoyed sitting out front for coffee watching cars go by on the highway. The place was spotless and comfortable.

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!

A great experience overall. Very clean and well furnished spaces. A nice book with instructions and places to visit. We enjoyed our coffee and meals in the outdoor space.

A comfortable and cozy stay in an ideal location! I had the best stay at this gorgeous Airbnb for a few days on a business trip. Located in Middleton so close to so many attractions and eateries, I can’t recommend this spot enough!

Great stay and amenities. Mosquitoes were overwhelming at first, but it is by a lake. Had nothing to do with the wonderful house

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.

Andrea made it feel like home! Super clean! She thought of everything! Her decor was awesome and very well taken care of.

From her greeting you at the front door to making sure you have all that you need. Her place is perfect for a few days or even an extended stay! Located just off the highway and close to an amazing wine and restaurant - and minutes away from Beloit College! I recommend and look forward to my next stay

Trisha was a lovely and responsive post! It was the perfect spot to get to what we needed to.

The Chateau (Robin's place) was just perfect for the three of us. It's peaceful rural location was beautiful and especially accessible for our hiking segments and connecting routes of the Ice Age Trail. It's also close enough to Baraboo, Sauk City, Merrimack, Prairie du Sac and even Madison...so you can explore small towns, villages and city life if you want or just soak in the beauty of the rolling hills in the driftless region. Our accomodations were just what we needed. Kitchen was well equipped and bathrooms were spotless. We were able to communicate with Robin easily. We also had an extra vehicle that she allowed us to park. We stayed there 3 times! Highly recommend it!

Great hosts! Very responsive and friendly. Nice place, quiet and relaxing.

Such a wonderful place! Clean, comfortable and felt right at home. Just as described. Clear instructions. Lovely peaceful surroundings - beautiful yard! My sister & I stayed for our grandma’s 90th birthday weekend and we had so much going on that we didn’t get to utilize many of the amazing amenities this place has to offer. The massage chair was wonderful and we loved the Nespresso machine! We will be back again when we visit Fort! We had a wonderful stay.

This was a charming place and everything we needed to relax for the afternoon and evening. As mentioned previously, the fresh ground coffee beans were a treat.

Absolutely gorgeous place to stay! The home was warm and welcoming, stocked with all the appliances and amenities we could need—and then some. There were plenty of cozy spots to relax and unwind. If you're after a scenic, private retreat, this is the place. Our family loved spending time on the patio, soaking in the sounds of nature. It's conveniently close to town, has great walking trails nearby, and makes for a perfect weekend escape.

Beautiful and well done property with clear guidance for everything. Perfect spot for an overnight. We hope to return in the winter

My husband, two dogs and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin! The point of my vacation was going somewhere we could take our dogs and this was the perfect spot to relax with them for a few days. Everything was clean and there was a perfect amount of space for us to relax. It was very quiet in the neighborhood and most of the time it felt like we were the only ones around. It was great to be able to walk to a very nice restaurant and bar a minute or two down from the cabin since we wanted to stay close. The only thing that bummed me out was we went at the end of May and the dock wasn’t put out - and I was hoping to spend time sitting out on the water. That could have been me not realizing the typical “season” but had assumed it’d be out so I recommend checking if that’s important to you :)

Perfect getaway to celebrate our 20th anniversary and do some local fly fishing. Definitely recommend.

My family and I stayed at the Driftless Escape Cabin and had a wonderful time! The interior was even more beautiful in person with plenty of space for my whole family. The Kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfy and they had everything you needed. The property was gorgeous with lots of open space and amazing views. We loved playing in the yard and s’mores by the fire. And even though the cabin is close to town, we still felt like we were miles away in nature and truly disconnected!!

We chose Steve’s place for a peaceful lakeside weekend and it very much lived up to our expectations! The cottage and grounds are very well-kept, clean, and cute. Steve and his pup are friendly hosts, and the place is completely set for everything you need to chill…choice of two patios with lake views, grill, a stocked fire pit, birds singing, and more. The neighborhood is on a very quiet road but with great restaurants in walking distance - we enjoyed both the beachy vibes at Sunset and more elevated dining three doors down at North Shore Chophouse. Great location for enjoying the outoors near Fort Atkinson; well worth the nightly rate and we would definitely return.

This was absolutely perfect for disconnecting and retreating. Such beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere! Every thing was exactly as described. The photos were spot on for check-in qnd much appreciated.

This was my second time back. This time I brought my hubby and two dogs. We all had the best time! From bird watching to canoeing (a first for our pups), evening walks and enjoying the fire pit we all had a blast! Its a short drive into Brodhead for groceries at the Piggly Wiggly. Had great pizza and salad at Rock & Rollz followed by amazing ice cream complete with doggy cups at Tastee Creme. Took a drive out to Decatur Dairy for yummy grilled cheese sandwiches and fresh cheese curds. We are already looking at dates for our next trip! Best of all my Mom is in a facility less than 30 minutes away so we saw her every day of our visit. Thank you for sharing your cabin on the lake in the woods. If you love peaceful nature, don't hesitate, book now!
