Best breakfast. The little things that were provided (warm bathroom towels, comfortable bed, patio outside our room just for us to enjoy) added to our wonderful 3 day get away in Madison. Don't want to forget the freshly made popcorn in the evening we so enjoyed.

Homestead is the home away from home

The Homestead was the most welcoming. The property is stunning. The rooms are clean and chic. The sheets are the highest quality the towel warmer was top notch. Breakfast was included from a local spot. We will be back and will absolutely stay again.

This is the sweetest little B&B. Clean, beautiful rooms and a lot of attention to detail. The inn keepers and owner are lovely to chat with. The snacks and popcorn are a bonus. If you are in Madison, I highly suggest you stay here. I didn't try the butter olive oil on my popcorn but apparently it's a must!

Friendly and very service oriented staff. Extra amenities you don't find anywhere else such as HEPA air filter in rooms, water filter in the shower, fireplace. Owner is very friendly and if you like, his dog Hartman will entertain you. Living room and large dining room table feels like home and at 3 PM there is freshly made popcorn! We'll be back

The Homestead is a gem. I’ve been to countless B&Bs and Inns and few are in this category of quality, comfort and friendliness. Can’t beat the location with access to beach, hiking, boating, shopping, great dining, history… The rooms are nicely decorated with comfy beds, high end sheets (I’m picky) and nice sized bathrooms. The vitamin infused shower head with strong water pressure was amazing. Ralph and his staff bent over backward to ensure we were comfortable, well fed and prepared for whatever activity we were choosing that day. Doesn’t get better than this. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

A New England delight.

This Inn / Bed & Breakfast was absolutely outstanding. The decor was warm and inviting, like being in a very nice clean new yet traditional large home. The Owner Ralph is very welcoming and I intrusive. Everything was top notch quality, from the home baked quiches & scones for breakfast, to the gourmet popcorn to enjoy while watching a movie by the fire. Our room had a beautiful fireplace, record player and very big bathroom. The rooms are all nice and big. I will definitely stay here again.

Hard mattress

I stayed to rest between appointments. The mattress was the hardest surface I ever experienced. Firm and durable is good for the owner. Not good for sleeping. Very difficult sleep.

Our new home away from home!

What a gem! Attentive staff and hands-on ownership. Places like The Homestead attract "like minded" people and this reminded me of why I love to travel and why I choose small boutique inns. Already planning to return with friends and stay for two nights! We loved just hanging out in our room listening to the record player. But it was equally as nice to hang out in all the other common areas; chatting with staff or guests, sitting by the fire, enjoying the various collections everywhere, selecting a book to read, nibbling on snacks (including fresh pop corn!!!), sipping some port..... And the resident doggie Hartman....you captured our hearts. You can nibble on my ear any time! And to think this place is an hour from our house. I see some more frequent quick get-aways in our future.
