If you like a different kind of rental, rather remote, picturesque, quiet and private, this may be for you. 1800's cabin atmosphere with enough modern amenities to be very comfortable. A good "get away from it all" place.

Easy place to stay

The Cabin was well maintained, comfortable and modern in all the right ways. 20 minutes to Madison which makes for a great day trip, but the privacy and serenity of the cabin would be hard to beat. I highly recommend staying here.
