Our family came to visit my sister who lives locally. Our Easter dinner at the house was memorable. We loved the layout and cleanliness of the house. We cooked Easter brunch an dinner at the house and had all the cookware and supplies to make it feel like home. We will certainly return.
This property was charming and meticulously well maintained. They had every possible thing available to you in the home from laundry detergent to Saran Wrap etc. Definitely one of the nicest homes I’ve ever stayed in.
The host live next door but still gave us privacy they were so nice they allowed the kids to play on the playground equipment and eat fresh berries 5 stars
We had a blast at this spot, the owners were very sweet and took great care of it. Monona is a sleepy Midwest town that is a great break from the city. Our dogs enjoyed the stay as well, and the house was perfect for all of us. The neighbors were kind and the owners cat came to greet us every morning which was adorable. Thank you for an awesome stay!
Perfect place to stay! Very comfortable and relaxing. Host thought of lots of little thinks to provide safety and security. Very quiet and peaceful! Would not hesitate to stay again!
This was our third visit, we love the comfort and cleanliness of this home. It has a great space for family dining.
Great location, quiet neighborhood to enjoy the front porch. The family enjoyed s’mores in backyard firepit.
Lovely home to visit family, we will be back.
We really enjoyed this house. The big dining table was perfect for meals and games with our friends, and we really appreciated the clean and fully appointed kitchen. Beds were very comfortable, bathrooms clean and filled with what we needed. Our dog was obnoxious, but the neighbor dogs were super nice to him, anyway. This is a little gem in Monona.
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. It was a great home away from home for a few days. We look forward to staying again in the future.
This was a great place for our little family to stay while we visited relatives nearby. We had plenty of space and were grateful to be able to travel with our dog, an important part of the family.
This house was clean, well supplied, and has all the great features described and pictured on VRBO. We especially enjoyed the backyard, with the fire pit and neighboring horses. We also thought the beds were quite comfortable!
This was a wonderful property for a family of 6 to hang out. The house had all the amenities that we could possibly want. The neighborhood was quiet. The owners were very nice and left lots of information about the area. A nice little orange kitty stopped by daily for some outside pets. The town was super easy to navigate by car or on foot. There's a nice trail close by. And there were tons of fun trails/towns/events within driving distance.
I would recommend highly recommend this listing!

About the host
Hosted by Bridget & Tim Schlein
I grew up in Illinois but after graduating from college in Dubuque, Iowa, I loved Iowa so much I decided to stay. I met my husband Tim at our mutual friend’s wedding and we got married in 2010. We always thought we would stay in Dubuque but found ourselves wanting our children to have the same small town experiences we had growing up. A few years ago, we decided to relocate to Tim’s home town of Monona to be closer to family. We love the many outdoor activities and experiences our family is able to do here. We hope you enjoy your stay!
Why they chose this property
Tim and I were excited to purchase this home in 2019 after the prior owner approached us about buying it. I love to decorate and we are “do it yourselfers” as much as possible with the help of our supportive family. We thought this was the perfect opportunity for us to have a space for our family and friends to stay when they visit and fill the lodging gap in our community.
What makes this property unique
From original woodwork to the hardwood floors, this house has lots of historical charm. The front porch is the most peaceful place to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the world go by.
