Children benefit more from trips than toys? Of course, they do. Start planning that vacation/staycation now. Winter weather? You still have plenty to do. Spend the night (kids love the upstairs loft), cozy up by the fire and play a board game, ice skate at one of our outdoor rinks (free skates), go sledding at Hixon or Myrick park, check out the Children's Museum... You can reserve directly with us by calling 608 797 6457 or reserve and check availabilty at www.airbnb.com/h/stonesthrow

For the next holiday or birthday, instead of shopping for toys, consider spending that money on a family vacation.
