However, there were many levels or steps that had to be navigated by the elderly that stayed with us. Other than the master bath, the other baths were located away from the bedrooms and with the different levels posed a difficult journey at night. The loft was not easy to get to and we were unable to use it. ##### Val D. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Jenny H. 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful property, minus the construction Overall we had a wonderful stay at the Trout House. The property was beautiful, the house was clean, communication was excellent, we had plenty of space, plenty to do, and all we needed for our stay. The grown-ups enjoyed learning more about the history of the house and looking at the eclectic artwork; the kids loved all of the fun stuff to do in the lower level. The one major issue with the stay was the enormous construction project happening right outside the front door of the house. They appeared to be tearing up the whole highway, with several large pieces of equipment. The crew got started at 7:00am every morning of our stay - including holidays and weekends - and worked nonstop until 5:00pm. Of course this was out of the control of the homeowners. And to be fair, the property manager did warn us a few days prior to the trip so at least we were not surprised when we arrived. But unfortunately, the construction really impacted our overall satisfaction. Instead of natural beauty when we looked out the windows, we saw construction equipment and piles of dirt. We could not spend any time outside enjoying the property during the day because all we heard was drilling and trucks backing up. There were no fish in the stream, no wildlife to be seen, and no way to block out the noise, even while in the house. It's a bummer, because otherwise this was an amazing property. We would absolutely love to stay again, but only after the construction project is complete. ##### Jenny H.

The property was equipped with everything we needed, making us feel right at home. The amenities were a huge plus, and the friendly and helpful host made our experience even better. However, we did encounter two minor issues: mice in the laundry room and a leaking toilet. Other than that everything was perfect. Beautiful home! ##### Omar J.

What was a little misleading was the beds - 4 bedrooms, 4 beds. There was a ladder on a wall to what I guess was a loft bedroom but we were too old to climb it so have no idea what was up there. Any other sleeping arrangements would have been a sofa bed. The deck had no furniture so wasn't used. Wood was provided for the fire-ring which had chairs. And the area is just beautiful! ##### genevieve k.

The property is set in a peaceful remote area that is ideal if you like waking up to the sounds of nature. It is about a 30 minute drive from Madison so if you goal is to commute, it may not be ideal. But for us, it was so nice to head back here in the evenings and enjoy a relaxing time with our group. Rooms are super large and spacious and there are beds and couches enough to lounge and relax. 3 full baths make for an easy morning and evening routine as well. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Caleb D.
