Kelly’s place was great! An amazing throwback with great attention to detail. The home is also incredibly clean and felt comfortable and well cared for. We loved walking to the park and getting ice cream with our toddler. We’d stay here again for sure!

Back In Time the Good Way This house is a gem. I’ve stayed in many, many air b&b and this is my favorite so far. The owner has clearly put her heart and soul into this house. Perfect 1950’s designed house. Stocked with everything you need for your stay. Very clean and comfortable.

Cute, quiet MCM bungalow! We loved our stay at the Jade Jackelope. The MCM vibes, decor, colors, and design were delightful and we enjoyed our peaceful stay. Communication with the owner was prompt and professional and the house was perfectly clean. Wonderful!

Mid-Century Charm What a great little house. Like walking into your grandma's house. Really nicely done 1950's vibe. Clean. Comfortable. Excellent, quiet neighborhood in Monona away from the noise of downtown but an easy drive away. Highly recommended.
