Family-friendly vacation rentals in Monona

Beautiful spot to relax, close to great hiking trails. The home was comfy and had some thoughtful extras.

Clean, roomy place. Short drive to stores or walk/shuttle to resort pool/restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. The only disappointment was the golf course was closed.

This house looks like it does in the photos. It is an easy walk to downtown in a safe area. Had a great stay overall!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The location and view were lovely and quiet. We especially enjoyed the wildlife from the deck and the hot tub! We even had a bald eagle visit for a couple of hours on the sandbar right in front of us. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. A very relaxing weekend!!

Debbie was very communicative before and during our stay. The property has plenty of yard room for outdoor activities and we loved that we didn’t feel stacked up against a bunch of other houses. The driveway can accommodate a group of cars and we loved the reclining couch in the basement. I’d highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful stay at the lake cabin. It was a great spot for our family of 5. We brought our children, ages 4, 2, and 4 months old and thought the cabin worked well for our needs. It is not particularly childproof, but we had no issues and our children loved the yard and the lake. I loved sitting on the back deck to enjoy the beautiful view in the early mornings when my infant had woken me up :) The bathroom was spacious, and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. Everything about the stay was smooth and easy.

Loved bug the car that greeted us every time we came in and out of the place! We were there when the May flies were hatching so we did not get to enjoy some of the luxury’s of the place but we are excited to come back soon!

Place was better than I expected--looked more updated than the photos displayed. It was very roomy with a large bathroom and a full-size kitchen. With good weather, you can simply walk up the hill to the Grand Geneva. Will definitely plan to book again!

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

Alexander's flat in Madison was perfect for our stay. Right downtown, a stone's throw from the capital, and about a mile from the heart of the UW campus, this home was fantastic with a beautiful view of Lake Mendota. The best part of the experience was how easy it was to work with Alexander. He was very responsive to every question, he was proactive about giving us information needed for an easy and comfortable stay, and he was extremely thorough in the information needed about checking in and out of the apartment. All in, this was a great experience and I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks Alexander. - Joe S

The beauty of the farm, the driftless area with steep hills and gorgeous valleys with a stream meandering through it was absolutely breathtaking! Different times of the day, different light and different beauty! Monet would have been in Heaven! We were there at the perfect time! Springtime! Lots of Red Winged Blackbirds weaving their nests. Barn swallows busily building their nests. And the best of all a fawn was born the day before we left!! Heaven! A truly magical place! And the house was so well appointed! A full kitchen, a beautiful fireplace, a huge master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, large windows framing the beautiful landscape, very comfortable and cozy. Much fancier than the photos depict! A perfect place for a retreat! Steve and April were Wonderful hosts who love sharing their property with guests and enjoying sharing about healthy farming, health and prairie restoration.

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 :)

Cute little spot. Great for weekends away. Downtown is walking distance and has a variety of shops. Cell service can be hit or miss, but not fault of host. Daisy is very sweet and will come greet you for pets. House was very comfortable and has everything you need (except washcloths, so if you're used to that bring your own). We enjoyed our time and would recommend it for anyone coming to the area.

Wonderful home for a big family or group! Lots to do (if you’re not already busy!). The home has everything you need to rest, relax, and make killer meals. Madison is a quick 30 minute drive away as well. Highly recommend.

Otto was great to work with. He was very responsive and helpfull. We had a great stay and would recomend this to anyone.

We really enjoyed our stay and definitely would return. The home was clean and we felt right at home. Our dogs loved the yard and the view overlooking the lake was beautiful. The home was just as described, and check-in was easy. Nathan was responsive and communicated well throughout our stay. I would recommend staying at Nathan's, he is a great host, and we were grateful for our time there.

Alex was a Great host! His lake house was clean and cozy.. The view was beautiful! My children and I really enjoyed ourselves.. Thanks Alex!!

great place to stay, central to the madison area, clean, and great community.

Great spot! The condo was clean, comfortable, and quiet. It was a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Mandy’s detailed directions and instructions made checking in a breeze. Our group of four had a fantastic time.

What a lovely and hospitable place! We loved our time there. The level of comfort was unmatched. We would happily return. Truly a wonderful experience!

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!

We had a fantastic time here! The property has an incredible deck that extends into the surrounding forest. We had breakfast outside every morning! If you love wildlife, you'll love this place.

Beautiful house and view. Would definitely stay again!

Charming and comfortable - In the heart of Geneva close to cute shops and many restaurants! Very clean with convenient parking. Wonderful stay!
