The basecamp for the hike of your life.

Welcome to Lake City. The middle coast. The front door to the north woods. Here, the landscape is treasured. Pure water. Pristine forests. Fresh adventures. That’s our scene and our sanctuary. ōLiv brings that spirit home to the heart of Madison.

 

Like a trailhead to campus, we put you steps away from classes and downtown. An elevated, cabin-inspired design wraps you in the quiet luxury of a lakeside retreat. Warm, open spaces bring people together like the pull of a campfire. And smart amenities are tailored for navigating the rigors of Wisconsin academics.

 

Step into ōLiv Madison, a modern expression of Midwestern hospitality. It’s an uncompromising getaway from the pace and pressure of college. It’s all the fun of summer camp, with a finesse designed for grownups. It’s the perfect basecamp for the hike of your life.
