Overview

The Grandview Lake House is nestled in an older residential neighborhood near the northwest corner of Lake Madison. Recently renovated, this home does not have private lake access, but several public access points are a short drive away. The property offers parking for 3-4 vehicles, or a combination of vehicles and a boat. Outside, there's a patio with a table and chairs, an outdoor fire pit, and a four-burner Blackstone grill.



Upon entering, there's ample space for seating and shoe removal. The home provides flexible accommodations, including a small room with a full-sized bed and a larger room with both a queen bed and a full bed. Additional sleeping options include a rollaway twin bed, two small toddler cots, a couch, and a futon. The full kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher and all essential cooking supplies, along with a dining table for four and a smaller table for two. A full bathroom features a stand-up shower, and the washer and dryer are located at the back of the bathroom. The rear entryway serves as extra storage space or a sleeping area with the twin bed.



Capacity

The house comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests, with the option for more if you bring an airbed or use the couch for sleeping. There is only one full bathroom, but the spacious layout allows for flexible arrangements and storage.



Accessibility

The home is accessible with only one step to enter, and once inside, there are no steps. However, due to the home’s age, some floors are slightly uneven, which may be a concern for guests with limited mobility.



Parking

Parking is straightforward, with an outdoor driveway adjacent to the house, providing space for several cars or a truck and a boat.



Pets

Dogs are welcome with a pet fee, but no cats are allowed. Please keep pets leashed, as the neighbor’s dogs are typically leashed as well. Clean up after your pet, both indoors and outdoors.



Heating/Cooling

The home features central air conditioning and heating, along with ceiling fans to help circulate air.



Smoking/Illegal Activity

Smoking is permitted outside only, and cigarette butts must be disposed of properly. Smoking indoors will incur a $350 fee. Illegal activities are prohibited and will be reported.



Stay Duration

Bookings are accepted for stays of a minimum of 2 nights. Longer stays can be arranged by contacting the host.



Building Structure

Built in the early 1900s, the home is stable but has uneven, creaky floors due to foundation settling.



Bugs and Nuances

Occasional encounters with ants, spiders, fruit flies, or earwigs may occur despite regular pest control. The property is near the water, so noise from cars, boats, and other lake activities may be heard.

Other Things to Note:

This is an older home with uneven floors and no private lake access, though nearby public access is available. We ask all guests to respect the home and neighborhood by maintaining a peaceful environment. Please be aware that the neighborhood can be noisy in the summer, and neighbors may set off fireworks at random times. Surrounding neighbors also have pets, so we ask that you keep your pets leashed to prevent any issues. The gravel driveway can track dirt inside, so we kindly request that you remove your shoes upon entry to help keep the home clean.
