Perfect Quiet Getaway
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!

Clean, Cozy, Comfortable!
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.
