ONE OF A KIND vacation rental with a view

Arbor Hill House - Unique A-frame vacation rental perched atop a hill with great views overlooking the Beltline, UW Arboretum and the city of Madison. Excellent central location with easy access to all parts of Madison and surrounding areas. I'll be happy to do whatever I can to make your stay a pleasant one. This is my personal home so please keep things clean and be respectful. This home should not be used for parties or events. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I look forward to sharing my home with you.

(Corona virus concerns? -- I do all the cleaning myself, so I know the place is kept very clean. For example, I use sanitizing wipes on all of the door knobs, light switches and TV remotes throughout the house. I use a fabric disinfectant spay on all the furniture and throw pillows. The towels, sheets and blankets are washed with a sanitizing soap and dried extra long at high heat in the dryer. I have hand sanitizing soap and wipes available for the guests to use. I would argue that my place is one of the best germ-free places you could be).

This property was perfect. It was full of character and even had well cared for house plants. Loved that the patio had a ceiling so we could sit there during the rain. All beds were super comfortable. I just can’t think of anything negative!

Beautiful home

Location wasn't too bad, just off of the beltline. Probably a reasonable walking distance to restaurants and stores on fish hatchery road, but we drove due to the weather. The house is very nice, especially the upstairs loft.
