— The Details —
This Italianate-style townhouse built in 1870 offers a rare combination of prime location, architectural character, and standout amenities. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway, a family trip, or an extended stay, Madison Manor I is designed for relaxation, connection, and memorable experiences. Inside, historic charm meets modern comfort with exposed brick and thoughtful décor. The well-equipped kitchen includes pantry basics and everything you need for easy meals at home.
Curated spaces throughout the home invite you to unwind after a day of exploring. Spend evenings soaking in the hot tub beneath pergola café lights, gathering around the fire pit, or enjoying movies, games, and friendly competition indoors.

Thorough cleaning protocols between guests ensure a spotless and sparkling stay.

About the host
Hosted by Cyndi Johnson
I am originally from Austin, Indiana but now reside in Bloomington with my husband, a professor at Indiana University in Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, and daughters. I was a public school teacher for many years.
I first got into hosting during the pandemic when I lost my job working with The Arc of Indiana and decided to become my own boss. I needed a great deal of flexibility to provide educational support to my 3 children (at the time--an 8th grader with learning disabilities, a 6th grader with Down syndrome, and a precocious 3rd grader), so it was essential that I be able to take my kids to work with me and set my own hours.
We took out equity in our home to buy a charming 1900s cottage on iconic Kirkwood Ave near IU. It went so well that we sold it as an investment property and I continued to host it.
Now I host a small portfolio of properties in 2 of the most historic cities in Indiana: Bloomington and Madison. I still own 2 properties and host for others. Madison Manor is our dream home. We hope to retire there in one townhouse and rent the other.
