Cozy and Welcoming

This was a delightful property, very clean, and super cute! We came to Madison to hike Clifty Falls. The weather for hiking was dreary and very wet, which made this home feel all the more cozy. Would highly recommend staying here, especially if you are traveling with kids.

Would love to come back

The property was beautiful. The house was amazing and unique. It was a nice walk to get to the stores and restaurants (might be too long for some, but for our group it was good). The neighborhood was nice, neighbors, too. We felt safe and welcome.

Fantastic house in a great location

Planned this trip for my mom's 60th birthday. She wanted a place where we could all stay together and that was within walking distance of shops, restaurants, etc. This house exceeded our expectations! The house itself was clean, well stocked, and had extra amenities we did not anticipate. There was even a small cheesecake and candles waiting for us. Definitely appreciated the thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

House for a wedding weekend

The house was quiet, charming and well decorated. We had 4 adults and 3 teens staying so the game room was a nice touch to keep them busy. Rock garden wasnt enough for the dogs to run around, but was quiet and serine to sit outside in. The local coffee and breakfast items were delicious and much appreciated. The beds were very comfortable too. At no fault to the owners, we didn't like that it was located on a curve since cars from the south would speed by. Even though it is located next to a busy road, there was no noise pollution from vehicles. All the neighbors were incredibly friendly and it was very close to downtown, shopping. Coffee and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastic spot!

The location is excellent for walkability to bridge, river & cafes & shops. Also just for walking the nearby blocks looking at beautiful historic homes. The house is clean, comfortable, fully stocked & the beds so comfortable my sister & I slept like the dead. All the bedrooms are upstairs & nicely appointed as well as the upstairs sitting room. The upstairs full bathroom is nice (although I did bump my knee when I slipped climbing into the tub to shower, the sides are high & the inside slippery, but I am clumsy so I’m not blaming the tub, just forewarning other accident prone people.) Other positives: nice kitchen stocked with supplies, large dining room table, convenient half bath downstairs so you don’t have to run up & down stairs too much, clean basement with washer & dryer, back porch with comfortable sitting places to enjoy while overlooking a cute courtyard with a fire pit. Lovely decorations, the addition of a window unit in upstairs bedroom helped me sleep better because I’m sensitive to heat, although the home is historical it was still comfortable temperature wise as we were there when it was hot & muggy in August. We had family that would stop in for short visits & they were all impressed by how nice the home was. Negatives: door code was hard to see in dark of storm, convenient otherwise; We will want to stay here again!

Great Getaway!!

We just wanted to get out of town away from the hustle and bustle of city life…this was the place!!! Close to “town” so if we needed anything it was easy to get and even though the house sits further down on the Main Street, it wasn’t noisy with traffic. Backyard was perfect for our pooches and Connect Four kept the kids busy for longer than we thought it would! Great time hiking at Clifty Falls Park, although a bit chilly still. We had a great time and the house was warm and inviting!

Beautiful, Historic Home with Great Amenities

Our family of four stayed for three nights during spring break. The home has everything we needed, including a fenced backyard for pets. Jennifer was a gracious host, and we enjoyed our stay. Its location allowed us to take nice walks in a historic residential neighborhood without getting in a car.

The home is just as the posting suggests. It was immaculate and very tastefully decorated. The river is a short walk away, and the home is conveniently located just off the downtown area.

Real Madison Experience

This property was nothing short of spectacular. The pictures and description were spot on. It gives you the real Madison IN experience because it’s a beautiful older home, like many there, right on the Main Street. Way better than a hotel. The owner was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. I absolutely loved it and highly recommend this property and owner.
