Had an Amazing stay at the saddlery! Went to visit my son at college! Right across from lake! You could smell the lake air getting out of the car while parking! Excellent parking right behind the building! Very cute lobby, room was excellent! Very warm and inviting! Will definitely stay here again! From the charm/cleanliness/ great location/ even the soap and shampoo smelled lovely! Thanks for the great stay! What a gem 😀

Pros:

It was a really nice space, and the location is good.

On the minus, Finishings in the place were pretty basic for the nightly rate.

Only two coffee pods too and you have to pay for parking were the down sides

Great location! Rooftop is a nice touch. Amazing water pressure and large accommodations. Went for business but would say an extended stay would make this feel like a home away from home!

Pros:

We stayed one night in an area with few people and in a hotel that’s unattended on weekends. It wasn’t especially spooky, but the Bladerunner vibe is what we will remember.

Pros:

We had a great 2-night stay at the Saddlery when dropping off our Freshman at U-Madison. We had a lovely view of Lake Monona, and our 2-bedroom unit was great for the three of us, plus extra space to stash all of our kiddo's dorm stuff for the night (didn't want to leave it in the car). Everything seemed new, and we appreciated the kitchen for breakfast! I will say that neither of our bedrooms had windows - they were on the interior of the unit. But the bedrooms had ceiling fans so that helped (we are a windows open every night kind of family), and the unit had A/C so for most it won't be an issue. There is a cute roof-top patio for the whole building, also with a killer lake view. Beds were comfy, the unit was super clean. A minor bathroom sink drain issue was resolved immediately. It's a little off the beaten path if you are spending a lot of time at the University, but we like to walk, took the bus a bit, and appreciated the extra space and that view when we returned to the unit. Lots of great restaurants nearby as well.

Pros:

Pros: lovely views, nice kitchen, washer and dryer.spacious unit. Pet friendly. Walkable to lots of sights, the lake, and restaurants.

Cons: Other than views, I felt the area was just okay. Very much a self service situation more like an AirBnB. Finishes were not quite as high end as I had hoped. Parking was an extra fee for outdoor unattended lot.

Pros:

We were very pleased with our stay. Our room looked exactly what was shown on their website. Was clean and well kept. Prompt with responding back to questions. The roof top was an extra perk that we really enjoyed at night. Loved how close we were to the Dane County Farmers Market (less than 10min walk). Would definitely stay here again 🙂

We’ve been staying here for 4 months and are happy to extend our stay. The apartment is very comfortable, in a perfect location close to everything we need.
The team has been amazing—special thanks to Sam for his constant support throughout our stay. This place truly feels like a home away from home. :)

Pros:

A wonderfully, unique place within walking distance of entertainment and food. Our room had a lake view and was very clean. We enjoyed some time on the rooftop balcony and walked the lakeside trail. Definitely could’ve stayed comfortably for longer!

Pros:

Very nice setting. Comfortable renovated saddlery building. Very convenient to walk to restaurants and events. Only complaint has to do with the lack of sound barriers between units. It sounded like our neighbors were in our unit. Otherwise, a very nice place.
