Best downtown location! Stablemasters Quarters is awarded winning! Come see why…

This historic building was originally one of the city’s horse stables and has recently been converted into apartments. The new furnishings, bathrooms, luxury linens, towel warmer and a complete kitchen will be appreciated yet the historic charm is blended within.

This fun river town will remind you of years gone by. Come see why Ladie’s Home Journal awarded Madison “ prettiest small town in the midwest”. Chicago Tribune says it’s “the best preserved midwest town".

And, USA TODAY awarded Madison as the BEST SMALL TOWN in the Midwest! Our building was also featured in 3 page article in the Louisville Courier Journal.

This circa 1860 historic building originally was one of the city’s main stables. It’s now a blend of barnwood contemporary and vintage charm with so many amenities!

New renovations, large gathering area and luxury furnishings will leave you wanting to stay longer. Come see why guests say they don’t want to leave!!

This unit is on the main floor with a very easy entry There is also a laundry area. We provide baby and children supplies as well as portable chairs for your use during music festivals and other festivities. We are located at the start of the festivals, right on Broadway Street! The seasonal farmer's market is just across the street on Saturday mornings.

Our Livery Loft apartment is another award winning unit and can sleep 5 more guests. It is located directly above Stablemaster's Quarters. We will soon have another unit available so we can then sleep up to 13 guests.

You will be pleasantly surprised by all the amenities we provide and soon see why our guests often say we are their "best vacation rental experience".

The hosts are very personable and easy to work with. The Stablemaster’s Quarters is lovely, the beds comfy, and she even made us fresh cookies when we arrived and hot blueberry muffins the morning we left. There were little extras every where we turned. We really enjoyed our stay and Madison is a great place for a get-away. We highly recommend this place.

Beautiful property! Comfortable, clean, spacious, and very well stocked. All of our needs and potential needs were covered. Suzie (along with her husband Ron) was a wonderful host. She was very responsive during our stay and she even left a cake in the refrigerator as a surprise anniversary gift.The location is ideal. It is a short walk to the river, main street (shops, galleries, and restaurants), and a beautiful historic residential area. The apartment/host combination deserve all the 10/10 and 5/5 ratings they have received.

I can not say enough about this place! And Suzy and Ron are absolutely the best hosts! Clean, beautifully decorated in an extremely well done redone old stable. Suzy kept the horse theme throughout. There was everything there you would ever need, she thought of everything and even had cookies on arrival. Stocked refrigerator with bagels, water, and provided muffins on the morning of our departure. It’s walking distance from all Main Street food and stores and down to the river. Easy drive to the state park, wineries, and Hanover university. Beautiful hosts that showed us their other upper loft unit. Just amazing!! Would be a great place to rent out for a family to use both units. Child friendly and will provide needed things for children. Will definitely return and experience a different season. They say it’s beautiful at Christmas with the town all decorated and open up the historic homes for tours. Fall would be beautiful with all the hills and trees. Beautiful hosts and very friendly and welcoming town!

Thank you Reva for this nice review. Im sorry you didn't like the sectional, we get so many requests from guests wanting to know where to buy one that we have even left the tag on it to show where to order it. Maybe next time you can try one of our other units to see if you like them better…we strive to make all of our guests comfortable. One other note, if special need guests need off street parking we can usually provide it, right outside the door. Unloading/packing up, right at the door, makes checking in and out very easy which guests love….then there is plentiful parking on Broadway (in front of our building) which is very convenient, compared to most downtown rentals. Our goal is to make your stay perfect, as Reva stated, so if you have special needs, just let us know.
