If you like a different kind of rental, rather remote, picturesque, quiet and private, this may be for you. 1800's cabin atmosphere with enough modern amenities to be very comfortable. A good "get away from it all" place.

RUSTIC CABIN IN MADISON, IN
WE ENJOYED THE SECLUDED SETTING OF THE CABIN. SAW DEER AND ALL KINDS OF BIRDS AND SQUIRLS. WE EVEN HAD TWO FOUR LEGGED VISITORS COME THAT IS THE PLUS THINGS. IN THE CABIN, HARD TO WALK AROUND WITH ALL THE DECOR . WE WERE ALWAYS AFRAID OF BREAKING SOMETHING. SOFA AND RECLINER IS BROKE DOWN VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. NO DOCK LIKE PICTURE. WOULD HAVE LIKED TO FISH FROM AS PLANNED TO DO. ANY WALKING ISSUES NOT THE PLACE TO GO..ROADS GETTING THERE VERY NARROW AND CURVY. BEAUTIFUL PLACE WE ARE OLDER AND CAN'T ROUGH IT LIKE THAT.

We loved our stay! The house is charming and perfect for two people. We loved sitting on the porch swing listening to the fountain in the pond and watching the sunset each night. We loved the quiet and peaceful location. I hope to return next year!

The property has potential, but not maintained to the level of Vrbo posting. There were peaceful and tranquil moments and then there were the neighbors to the north reminding you that you are not that secluded

Peaceful getaway
The cabin is very rustic with decor from much simpler times. Waking up in the morning in the cozy loft to that awesome view was just what we needed. It was very clean and had everything we could want. The property is absolutely beautiful and so well cared for, we really hated to leave. The only negative was the roads you had to navigate to get there, but it was so worth it. I would highly recommend this beautiful property.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods
My friends and I unplugged and escaped to the woods to have a girls trip without kids or spouses so we could connect with nature and relax! This cabin was absolutely beautiful and everything that we hoped it would be! We will definitely be coming back! Also, the neighboring dogs who come to visit are so sweet and beautiful!

Rural, quiet, & restful refreshment
Melissa has thought of almost everything for your stay. Please know that this property is 30 minutes on very curvy country roads to the nearest grocery store. Having said that, we loved it! I grew up in a house that was also rural in this way. Two suggestions that I would make: 1. Bring some portable fans for a summer stay, and 2. There are hiking trails on the property, and you will need long pants, hiking boots, etc. Melissa has provided walking sticks for your use. The back porch, overlooking the pond, is a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee and lots of wildlife viewing... especially for those of you who love birding!! Thank-you, Melissa, for your hospitality and your helpful written instructions throughout the cabin, to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We appreciate you!!

Great place!!
What an amazing little retreat, we loved our stay! Madison is a great town with a lot to do as well. My only complaint is that the sleeper sofa was absolutely terrible. It definitely needs to be replaced or the listing should be changed to reflect that’s there’s only one sleepable bed. We were counting on having two separate sleeping areas. An air mattress would have been better than the sleeper sofa. However, this is an easy fix. We’d love to stay again if this was remidied!

Loved our stay—everything about the cabin was lovely. We wrote comments in the leather guest book. We were disappointed that the pond aeration wasn’t working to provide the option for swimming. I hope that can be corrected soon. It was difficult to leave such an idyllic setting!

We needed to get away for a weekend reboot. I found this by chance and fell in love with the online pics. The stay was amazing. It was peaceful and relaxing. You feel at home there. The neighbor dogs are very friendly too. It was nice because we were missing our pups. We will definitely stay again and tell all our friends and family about this place. If your on the edge, dont hesitate! BOOK IT! You won't regret it!

Privacy, Privacy, Privacy!!!
We absolutely LOVED our stay here. Due to the nature of our jobs (both drivers for different companies) we don't get to see much of each other during the week. We have always preferred places away from everyone and everything and this place fit the bill perfectly for us. We are animal lovers and enjoyed the daily visits from the neighbors dogs, Macey and Forrest. It is so quiet and it's a long ways out of town along twisting winding roads. The queen size bed upstairs was soooo soft and comfortable. Only problem I had issues with was I kept going into the living room to go up the stairs instead of the kitchen by the door! We have a chalet style home with our bedroom upstairs as well but our stairs are in the living room! If you want total peace and quiet away from all noise except for the sounds of nature, this is the place to be. We will definitely be back!

Everything was as advertised and then some! Very clean, quiet and peaceful. I even bought some binoculars while I was in town just so I could soak in even more of the gorgeous view! Would have loved to have spent more time here but something tells me we'll be back.
