About this property

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).

Excellent housing and service from the property manager! The great room in this A-frame reminds me of my old ski days and the suburban location brings you closer to local entertainment, interesting venues and shops.

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.

Girls weekend getaway
This year we had girls weekend in Madison. We had such a great time and this rental definitely added to it. We enjoyed that it was unique and not your average everyday house. We all slept great and really enjoyed the screened in porch. It was easy to get to State St and hit up the Farmers Market.

Wonderful experience
Beautiful A-frame cottage with a hippie twist. We absolutely adored the place. Very very clean and nicely kept up. The house has a nice little enclosed sunroom with an awesome view. We loved all the live plants throughout the place. Communication with the owner was wonderful and very quick. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Madison.

Fantastic place to stay!
We just stayed at the Arborhouse for the second time. Once again, we were extremely happy with our stay! The house has a fantastic vintage feel while being very clean and comfortable. It's located in a convenient area of Madison, and it was easy to get wherever we wanted to go in the area. Communication with the host was easy and accurate. I would absolutely recommend this rental, and I'm certain my husband and I will be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Josh

Host profile image
I have owned what I call the Arbor Hill House for 20 years. I have recently refurbished the interior and have prepared it to be used as a vacation rental. My goal is to turn the home into a very unique and comfortable place for my guest's to use as their home-base when visiting Madison. It will always be a work in progress with the hopes of turning it into the best vacation rental that it can be. I will usually be nearby to help my guest with anything they may need. I'll look forward to hearing any suggestions from my guests about how I can make this a great place to stay.
