About this property

River Views from Every Room! Clean Fun, Secluded, but close to town. Pool table

Beautiful Ohio River Frontage views from EVERY room (even the bathroom if the door was open!). Newly remodeled. Rural setting but close to town-5 minutes. Quiet nights. Swing on the country porch watching river roll by. Super clean and cleanable historic home. Carport, Woods. Waterfront theme. Watch fireworks from the porch or master bedroom. Handmade local amenities-natural soaps & spa products by award winning Fountain Alley BodyCare in Madison

The space
On designated Scenic Highway. This home was once an early trading post with a ferry that would cross the Ohio River. It had gambling and was used back then for hourly or overnight stays. It sets outside city limits and besides the busy highway during the daytime hours, it’s quiet and peaceful. Boats welcome.
Just outside of historic Madison Indiana, a stellar community, on historic registry, and just a beautiful place to go with shopping and restaurants and a state park!

Guest access
Whole house (excluding laundry room), large west side yard, short wooded trail behind home. The highway gets busy, be careful!

Other things to note
The highway is close and busy in the day. Pulling in and out of the driveway should be exercised with extreme caution. Children and elderly, pets, should be watched to stay away from the busy highway.
ANOTHER CAUTION: tall people be aware that the down stairs bathroom has a low clearance doorway, the stairway is low clearance, and a few beams throughout the home are low clearance.

The sleeping arrangements are: there is one completely private room with a twin and full sized bed. The master bedroom- with king bed- one must go through to get to the private room with the 2 beds. There is a hide a bed couch in the great room. The master bedroom is the nicest room but again it is open to the guest bedroom so not super private but roomy and the best view with sliding doors. This master bedroom has no door but is upstairs. See photos

Short Getaway

We loved the lay out of the two sets of tables and chairs and two sitting areas, kitchen area in between. Lots of windows to enjoy the light on the river at sunset and sunrise. A cozy place for hanging out and close to things to do. Appreciated also the history of it.

Lucky River House

Sonia is a great host, great communication and very quick response time. The house was exactly what we needed, a great view and some peace and quiet. The house feels very private but you're just minutes from town. Lots of local shops and businesses near by. Thanks again Sonia for a great stay!

Nice Little Retreat

We came into the area to photograph a wedding and stayed pretty busy for the two days we were in town, but returning to this peaceful this rental in the evening was such a treat. The upstairs recliner with a river view was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee too. The property is very unique with some fun and interesting details that highlight it's historic vibe. Definitely enjoyed this rental.

Nice Location & Remodel

Enjoyed location very close to main stream downtown Madison. Remodel and decor was fabulous, accommodations satisfactory. Close to wooded area and river, so did find small bugs and spiders making there way indoors. Would recommend regularly treatment.

Lovely place with a view.

Lovely place. Didn’t realize all the bedrooms were upstairs but we made it work with the pull out sofa for one of our older friends. Loved the water view. Very peaceful. WiFi and phone signal was minimal. Plenty of space and seating. Great appliances.

Quaint place with fantastic river views

This is a very charming place. Only about 2 miles from downtown Madison. Great views of the river, particularly from the front porch. It is on a fairly busy road but we weren’t there during the day and the traffic is light at night. It was very clean. Sonia, the host, is very easy to work with. Recommend this for a small family or group of friends.

About the host

Hosted by Sonia Folkner

Host profile image
We live just 1/2 hour from Madison, raised our two children on our farm, and now we love to travel but mostly we work at our Award Winning Store in Downtown Madison. Fountain Alley BodyCare. We do have another VRBO in Georgetown Florida is you're ever in the Neighborhood!

Why they chose this property

This property is close to town, yet secluded except for the Highway. It gets busy during travel for work time, but then minimal traffic. It is SO relaxing to sit on the porch and rock or swing and watch the barges go by. We changed even the floor in this home, so even though it is historical, it is also like new for most of it. It's aired, cleanable and clean.

What makes this property unique

You're so close to town, yet rural, and the hustle and bustle is only minutes away.
