We enjoyed this cozy cottage for one evening. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed, fireplace, TV, comfortable bed, and stocked kitchen. Check in and out was easy thanks to the communication with the property owners. We enjoyed a local burger at Cow Tippers Pub, a delicious coffee from Wild Blue Yonder Coffeehouse. We would stay here again.
Really enjoyed staying in this historic home, very cozy, and we especially enjoyed the fire ring out back as well as the quiet neighborhood and close proximity to shops and restaurants…
My bf and I had a great little getaway before the holidays staying in this cottage with some character. We loved it's location to both downtown Mineral Point and to towns nearby to visit House on the Rock and visit Governor Dodge State park for some winter hiking. Overall it was a lovely experience. The hosts were wonderful and very communicative as well.
We enjoyed our stay. The house is historic and rustic. the town has lots to explore for such a small place. The Red Rooster was a good place for breakfast.
Part of the reason this property was chosen was its distance to Spring Green American Players Theater.
Our location was perfect for the restaurant and church attended.
The property was clean and comfortable for our weekend in Mineral Point. We appreciated the comfortable beds and the history of the home. The street is quiet and safe, and the outside space at the home was a real bonus. Would stay again!
So much history with just the right modern updates. Great place!

Very unique property, allot bigger than it looks, it was a very hot weekend and the window air conditioning had a hard time keeping up. Very well stocked. Would stay again. Plenty of room for a family or 2 couples.
What a lovely cottage to rest and relax in after long days of classes at Shake Rag. Excellent beds - always the most important thing for us - nice kitchen. The weather varied from 90 - 55 degrees and the cottage was comfortable for the range.
Fun stay in a historic building with very quiet neighborhood. Have never been to Mineral Point and found the area so charming and pleasant. We walked the downtown area in the evening and enjoyed the history of the town/buildings. Kitchen adequately stocked with utensils for home cooking. We could tell the owners are still working on some improvements but they have done enough to make it a comfortable and cozy stay. We hope to come again someday!
We visited family in a neighboring community and this cottage was perfect to accommodate our family. The house was as described, with a charming interior and decor, and stocked with all the amenities we needed. Hope to be back again for a longer stay and more time to explore the local shops!
We loved being able to stay just a few blocks from downtown Mineral Point. Early warm weather had us wishing things had been cleaned up and ready on the outside of the property but it's understandable that in May in Wisconsin things may or may not be ready.
Loved the area, just wish we could have stayed longer!

Cute, quaint cottage
We enjoyed our stay at this property as well as exploring the town. Very pleasant. Very comfortable. The communication with the host could have been better. Otherwise the cottage was a great place for us.
No pictures could do this cottage justice. It's charming, spacious, and cozy. Kitchen was very well stocked if you'd like to cook during your stay. The town was a perfect destination town with great spots to eat, shop, and walk. Couldn't have been happier with our stay!
