Recently took a trip to Madison, WI and stayed here with my girlfriend. A few words that describe our stay would be: historic, whimsical, mysterious, & romantic. We stayed in The Thrope Room #205. The bedroom was historic and cozy. The bathroom was modernized, but also works well with the classic feel of the room. There was a plaque the described the history behind the name of our room, which made it even more special. The living room area when you enter is breathtaking and has a Museum like feel. During our stay, we saw almost no one at all the whole time. It felt like we had the Mansion to ourselves, which made the stay even more memorable. That location is perfect, walking distance to the museum of contemporary art, restaurants, and cafs. Behind the mansion is a large backyard that leads to a lake for an amazing view. This was truly an experience that we wont forget anytime soon. A few things to note: there isnt anyone on site typically who you can speak with if you have questions, but we did not mind at all because the staff was just one email a way. I spoke with Andrew a few times to learn more about the rules and check out times. He was accommodating and made sure to answer the majority of my questions. The scones and coffee were a nice touch. If I had to be critical about anything at all, which honestly there isnt much, I would say that you should bring your own bottles of water when staying here. They do have water that is cold on site, but it tastes like tap water. That is only if you are particular on your fresh water. For the price, the location, the decor, this is an unbeatable place to stay. The next time we are in Madison, I will definitely hope to book this again and strive to reserve The Ole Bull Room. Thank you

Very cool place. There was no contact with any employee. Keyless entry for the room and they send a code so there is no need to check in or out. Rooms: Our room was an apartment. Clean and comfortable.

2 thumbs up for this property, the management style, the cleanliness, and location. Have recommended it to many friends. Super easy and mellow check-in/out, breakfast foods & drinks, and really nice relaxed atmosphere.

So the rooms and space was fantastic! Walking distance to tasty restaurants. The space was all ours and it would have been absolutely perfect if the service had been even close to acceptable. The cleaning woman was extremely rude and the owner(?) was borderline hostile. He came in angry at 7 am asking when we were leaving and saying the cleaning woman would be showing up soon when we had the place till 11am. Was all upset that we broke things when both things that got broken were a cheap plastic brochure holder and a glass water carafe that just shattered when my friend picked it up. Neither are valuable or irreplaceable and both break easily so to come in and say you broke stuff well add it to your bill in such a hostile manner is extremely unprofessional. He acted as if us being their was an incredible inconvenience when our party had rented the whole space.
