“A Great Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We spent three nights here when we traveled from Philadelphia to attend our daughter's dissertation defense at the university. Our daughter and son-in-law leave across the street from the Inn so they suggested we stay here. What a wonderful choice it was. The house is charming and with great historical significance. Wonderful appointments, comfortable rooms and warm and welcoming service from Peggy and Dave. They went out of their way to make us feel right at home and even let us use the charming livingroom of the Inn to host a small reception for a number of our daughter's friends. Breakfast was wonderful and we especially appreciated the lat night cookies. And to top it off, Peggy insisted on getting up before the crack of dawn to make us a take out breakfast because we had a very early flight. We highly recommend the Livingston Inn and look forward to a future stay.

“Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

My husband and I did a one night get-a-way at the Livingston Inn over the Holidays and it was wonderful! We live in the Madison area and are so glad we checked it out because now we have a wonderful place to have friends and family stay that we know they will just LOVE! The Inn itself has great history and a fantastic location. I can not say enough about the owners, Peggy and Dave! They are the most gracious hosts from the wine hour, to the wonderful conversations, to the amazing breakfast.This place has the whole package. I can not wait for our next one night get-a-way!

“Christmas Mini-Vacation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

We stayed at the Livingston Inn one night after Christmas. We truly enjoyed our stay. The food was delicious, the room and property were beautiful, the wine hour was wonderful, and we really enjoyed getting to know Peggy and Dave. They were so friendly and accommodating - we were sad our stay was only one night! The location is great for any downtown activities, and we would highly recommend the Livingston Inn to anyone.

Room Tip: The Mendota room was wonderful- very comfortable bed and great view of the Lake. It also had a beau...

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

In lieu of exchanging gifts for Christmas, my wife and I spent a night at the Livingston Inn. This proved to be a very wise choice! The inn is a stunningly beautiful structure, adjacent to scenic Lake Mendota, and embedded in a tight knit Madison neighborhood. Our room (the Lake Mendota Room) transported us to a much earlier time, but graced us with modern conveniences including a gas fireplace. Peggy and Dave are a very gracious and interesting couple, with extensive experience in the lodging and restaurant business. A highlight of our stay was the delicious breakfast, and accompanying conversation with the proprietors. I would highly recommend a stay during your next trip to Madison.

“The Livingston Inn in Madison”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We were visiting our daughter at the University of Wisconsin for the weekend. The Inn has an excellent location for anything happening in the downtown and campus areas. The excellent location/facility is only exceeded by the gracious service of Peggy and Dave. Every aspect of our stay with them was exceptionally enjoyable: from the very comfortable accommodations to the delicious food to the delightful conversations with hosts and guests. The high quality historical renovation and attention to detail by the hosts are added dimensions to the warm and welcoming experience at the Livingston Inn.
