Our stay was great. Close to freeway to get to Madison everyday of our stay. Kwik Trip right up the road for convenience. Would recommend for anyone looking for a place close to everything but out in the country and quiet.

Excellent Place in Perfect Location
This was the cutest place and the hosts were great! Barb was super sweet and made sure we had no issues. Place is exactly like pictured and super clean. If ur heading to Madison and don’t want to stay in the city, this is the perfect place! You’re super close to the city, but you don’t have all of the traffic and noise. It’s a very peaceful place to stay!

Excellent Place to Stay
I stayed at Bruce & Barb’s rental while I was in town working for a full week. The home was so beautifully decorated for the holidays, very clean and cozy. Bruce and Barb were so friendly. I do not have a single complaint! I highly recommend staying at their rental.

Friends and Family Weekend
We loved the beautiful country guest home which was very warm and inviting. Our group had plenty of space to gather, eat, and talk. We drove the short distance to UW-Madison campus to watch football and visit. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. We had a fantastic weekend.

Penn State Football Roadtrip
Traveling with friends to Madison to attend a Penn State vs Wisconsin football game we found "A touch of country country living" the perfect VRBO for our visit. Well equipped with all the essentials that made our stay comfortable. Communication with the owners was quick and they were responsive to our requests. If traveling to Madison in the future we would definitely stay here again. Thank you Barb and Butch!

Perfect grandparenting home away from home
Barb and Butch have provided every amenity one could ask for, from an initial packet of coffee for morning #1 to just about every kitchen tool imaginable. And the location was delightful... close enough (and far enough) from Madison to make getting in and out of the city easy - and deliciously quiet at night. For us, this wonderful home-away-from-home was just the right choice, giving us plenty of time to be with our newest grandchild - as well as a little quiet time to recuperate from hanging out with a 2-year-old! Already looking forward to another visit!

Wonderful accommodations and nice people
The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. They put a great deal of effort into making clear instructions, including labeling wall switches for ease of use. Kitchen was well appointed and loads of room. Washer and dryer were bonuses for us as this was the last stop in our tour of WI. Would definitely stay here again.

Our favorite place to stay!
This is our second time staying at this property and we are already booked again for next year! The house is so clean, quiet, and cozy! My kids love it and we enjoy going to all of the playgrounds nearby and even made it to the zoo this year. The location is amazing. We cannot say enough great things about this property and the owners. Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

Family Gathering
Excellent accommodations. Hosts do an excellent job ensuring the property is set up for their guests. We were in town for a family wedding and enjoyed the location as it was close to all the events. Stayed there last year as well for another family event. If you are looking for a location with smaller group, this would certainly fit the bill. Would definitely book again in the future when in the area.
