Perfect spot!

We could not say enough wonderful things about this home and the hosts. The house was perfect for our family! The entire family enjoyed the backyard - playing in the pool, fun pool slide, and fire pit. The hosts were nice enough to have a s’mores station and amenities for the pool (towels, bug spray, pool toys). Julie was very communicative and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this home!

Wonderful vacation

Our family gathered for a long weekend for summer vacation and to celebrate birthdays. The house was perfect for our family of 14. The pool, hot tub and pub table under the pergola were awesome! We cooked and grilled every meal and the host provided a well equipped kitchen and Weber gas grill. The house is beautiful and has so many areas to gather and each family had there own bedroom. Our family had such a good time at this home and the hosts were great people to work with. Definitely recommend this property!

Excellent Accommodations!

My husband, son and sister-in-law we’re visiting our daughter and son-in-law in Madison but wanted a place where we could all stay, and have a pool so we wouldn’t have to go anywhere-just relax and visit. Julie showed us around, told us to make ourselves at home, and we did. It was cleaner than any hotel we’ve ever stayed in. Had everything we needed . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Football weekend/mini family reunion

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Madison. The house was exactly as presented on line and it was perfect for our group: 7 adults (PSU grads) in this house, with other family members staying elsewhere in town but able to enjoy the pool/hot tub over the weekend. We enjoyed the Penn State win over Wisconsin over Labor Day weekend and this was the perfect place to enjoy a BBQ, and relax watching other football games over the weekend. The Murphy's are gracious hosts -- this is a 5-star property all around!

Rain, rain, rain.

Our visit was cursed by unforeseen amounts of torrential rain the second day. The basement completely flooded and our friends staying in the basement had to evacuate to a hotel. The owners were very responsive, and worked hard so that we could enjoy the rest of our stay, and the ultimate frisbee team could shelter from the terrible weather. Some tough negotiations on refunds, and perhaps there could have been a warning of possible issues in the event of heavy rain, but overall we very much appreciated the effort they made for us, and the house and its amenities were very nice and exactly as listed.

A gem in Madison

This was our first family vacation with my daughter, her husband, their 9 month old, my son, his wife, their 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son, my husband and me. It could not have gone better! Everyone was comfortable, the location was wonderful with a very child friendly beach and yummy ice cream and coffee shop nearby. the backyard pool and hot tub fantastic and there was no amenity missing And it would be hard to find a more gracious, helpful host than Julie. In fact we are now trying to find a time we can return next summer.

Review

Owners were great, and the home was clean and organized. Pool was a huge draw to this choice, and it did not disappoint. However, the mattresses in all the rooms need to be replaced (even the kids complained and they will usually sleep through anything). Also my daughter-in -law did not appreciate the security camera taking a picture of her child in the pool, and the owners texting it to me. She wondered what other pictures existed.

Best Reunion House Ever

Our family of 9 stayed for an extended weekend in conjunction with graduation. It was truly one of the best vacation homes ever! Spacious party/gathering areas, thoughtful layout of entire house with various "zones" for activities, pristine pool and hot tub, plenty of outdoor seating (we were blessed with beautiful weather), super equipped kitchen, tidy, uncluttered, squeaky clean bathrooms, bedrooms and common areas, great WIFI, TV, sound system, etc. They also have a great set up for music (we have musicians in the family) which made our weekend extra fun. It's obvious that our hosts know how to entertain and thought through their entire house and yard layout to make it as comfortable and user-friendly as possible. They set up two very comfortable air mattress beds for us. Our hosts were eager to help us have a perfect weekend and it showed. Communication was great. I can't recommend this property enough! Thank you!!!!

Super backyard!

Our family of 11 (ages 1 through 74) thoroughly enjoyed this home. The in-ground pool with the slide and diving board was definitely the highlight of our vacation. The fire-pit and the box of S’more fixings were also a big hit. The hot tub was an added bonus. We loved that all 11 of us could sit around both the indoor and outdoor tables! There was plenty of room for us to spread out for some privacy and still come together for games, TV, or just hang out. The owners were quite helpful with ideas of things to do in the Madison area for the ages of our group. Julie answered any of our questions from the time we signed through our stay at the house. Joe came over twice to do some minor maintenance on the pool. Both are friendly and very easy to talk to. We all loved the Madison area and enjoyed the Farmers Market, Art Faire, boating on Lake Mendota, ice cream at the UW Union, Children’s Museum, Cave of the Mounds, and many other activities. A fun time was had by all!

Wonderful Vacation

We loved our stay here. The home has five bedrooms and three bathrooms, which worked well for our group of ten. Everything was very clean, including the pool and hot tub. The owner runs a cleaning service, and she obviously takes pride in her work. The hosts were very responsive; at one point we needed a stepladder, and Julie brought one over within half an hour. Everything -- from the sheets to the appliances -- was premium quality. The hosts did not skimp. The pool was great. It has a slide, a diving board, and a basketball goal for use with small beach balls, which were provided. There were also floats and pool noodles. The kids spent most of their time in the pool; the adults spent some time in the pool with the kids, but more time in the hot tub. There's also a large Jacuzzi bathtub in the master bathroom. There is a fire pit with firewood supplied. There's also a s'mores station, with skewers, graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate bars provided. We made good use of that one evening. There's a good collection of jigsaw puzzles and games. We have a multi-generational group of ten (pre-teen to late 70's), and played a trivia game called "Mind the Gap." It was hilarious. Finally, the home is conveniently located. There are two movie theaters, a large Target, and a Culver's (known for its custards) nearby. We ate all our meals at home, so we didn't explore local restaurants.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Murphy

Joe and Julie Murphy have 6 kids and most have moved on so they want to share their home with other families, young or old. They currently live in the home but have other accommodations ready for them when you are in town! They are always available should the need arise but the house is user friendly and in great living condition!
Joe is a Chiropractor and Julie has owned and operated her own cleaning business for over 20 years.
They have been season Badger basketball and football ticket owners for years so if you need directions or have a question regarding any games, they have the answer.

What makes this property unique

We love to entertain and have friends over so our house is well equipped to handle lots of family and events. We have tailgating essentials, outdoor serving utensils, themed party decor and much more.
