We very much enjoyed our three nights at the Arbor House. Although a little out of the city we enjoyed cycling the very handy bike path in and out of town which only took 10 minutes (the use of the Inn's bikes free of charge was a real bonus). The location is lovely in itself being so close to the Arboretum and lake Wingra.
The accommodation was good and spacious - we were staying in the Studio - and the staff warm and pleasant. We particularly liked the opportunity to meet other guests at breakfast served family style and for a pre dinner drinks provided for us each evening.
The local bar/restaurant, Jacs was a really good find, serving a wide range of food in a lively atmosphere and only a short walk from the Arbor House. Well worth a visit.

We just got home from a 10 day visit in Madison. We were visiting family and friends and chose the Arbor House as home for the 10 days. What a great place to stay! We really felt at home and well taken care of! Breakfast each morning was superb, we couldn't ask for more, great food, coffee, staff, and conversation with guests. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Madison. Thanks to Cathy and the whole crew!

Beautifully appointed, peaceful inn with outstanding hospitality and delicious breakfast. The perfect mix of the services of an inn or hotel and the hospitality of a small bed and breakfast. The hosts met my needs for gluten free food on less than a day's notice. The location across from the arboretum can't be beat.

The Arbor House is an incredibly special place. The hosts are gracious, kind, and hospitable, but don't hover -- you can savor your morning coffee and afternoon wine in as much peace and quiet as you'd like. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the amenities fabulous, and the location perfect for negotiating Madison. I cannot recommend the place highly enough.
