Lake House • Water Views • Fire Pit • Dog Friendly

Lake Madison Lake House is a relaxed and functional retreat just a short drive from public water access, offering water views and the perfect setup for easy lake days in every season. Enter through the back door into a convenient drop zone for coats and gear before settling into the comfortable living area with a couch and futon, two dining tables for meals, games, or remote work, and a full laundry room with supplies. The home features two bedrooms—one with a queen and full bed and the other with a full bed—plus a rollaway twin for flexible sleeping, making it a great fit for families, couples, and weekend groups who plan to spend their days outdoors and want a comfortable place to recharge.

Outside, enjoy the laid-back lake atmosphere with an outdoor dining table and chairs, a flat-top grill for cookouts, and a fire pit for evenings under the stars. The long gravel driveway accommodates up to three vehicles, and up to two dogs are welcome for a $40 per pet fee. Located just minutes from Madison’s dining and essentials, this home is ideal for boating and fishing trips, ice fishing weekends, fall getaways, and quick summer stays. Please note that neighboring properties are private and fenced, parking on the grass is not permitted, and the 4th of July holiday can be lively in this lake community. Occasional access to the on-site garage may be needed by the owners with advance notice. Stocked with fresh linens and essential supplies, this is an easy, comfortable home base for making year-round lake memories.

Home is very nice and comfortable. We came in to take care of our son who attends Dakota State University and your home was very accommodating and felt like home. Will definitely book again!

Very much enjoyed our stay here! It was such a a cute place. Looked like everything redone/updated in the home. Close and convenient to Madison. There were so many thoughtful touches for the guest including to go cups with creamer and sugar for coffee, all the necessary bathroom supplies so you don't need to pack your own - with extras in case you forgot your toothbrush! Check in was easy and convenient with a code lock and communication was excellent with rapid responses to my texts. Will definitely look to stay here again next time we come through!!!
