Best Short-Term Rental We Have Been To

Great property, great location, and amazing hosts. Incredible attention to detail and service. It would take too long to describe everything that impressed us so I'll just say it's all perfect and if this place is available when you're visiting Madison, stop searching and just book it.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! Check-in was super easy and stress-free, and the place itself was beautiful—clean, comfortable, and exactly as described (if not better!). Every little detail was thoughtfully taken care of, which made it feel like a true home away from home. Suzie was an amazing host—warm, welcoming, and always quick to respond. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely love to stay here again. Highly recommend!

I’m confident in my belief that Suzie is far more concerned with properly serving her guests than she is any income her property may generate. She was a phenomenal hostess, providing us a much better than home, home away from home experience. Her generosity shines by way of all the amenities and thoughtful extras she willingly provides and by way of her kind communication. She and Ron are surely as valuable of an asset to Madison, Indiana, as their location in Madison is to the guests they host. Their accommodations are top notch in cleanliness and cozy comfort, and close to nearly everything of interest. Pack your walking shoes because you can explore several sites, shops, and restaurants all within walking distance.

We had a GREAT stay. Suzie and Ron are wonderful hosts, from the beginning to the end of our stay.We were able to check in early, when we walked in, my favorite artist was playing and a dish of warm delicious cookies were on the stove waiting for us. On our last night we got a text asking us what time we wanted the home made blueberry muffins Ron was making delivered in the morning. So many nice surprises, too many to list. Highly recommend Stablemaster's Quarters, you can't go wrong.

Perfect Weekend Getaway!

This property has everything we wanted and more! On top of the cleanliness, central location, ease of checkout, fair price, and beautiful details, the stable house was so incredibly inviting and cozy! On top of that, the hosts provided the utmost hospitality including fresh baked goods and some pantry and toiletry items available for use. Come for a great weekend away! You won’t be disappointed!

Wonderful weekend getaway

Amazing hosts! Rustic decor with interesting history. Very cozy. Hosts made us homemade cookies when we arrived and fixed us muffins the morning we left. I don’t think there’s anything they haven’t thought of that you might need. Definitely one of the nicest VRBO we’ve ever stayed at and we will definitely return. I cannot say enough great things about this weekend.

Extreme Hospitality

I can't say enough good things about this property and Ron & Suzie. Suzie is very communicative with guests, but not overly so. She and Ron are very friendly and are extremely hospitable. We arrived to warm cookies and a small gift. On our check-out day Suzie brought us warm muffins. The property smelled amazing, it was very clean and stocked with all the comforts of home. It's within walking distance of everything. I will definitely be staying here any time I'm in Madison.

VIP Treatment at Its Finest!

For Spring Break, I took my three hormonal and grumpy teenagers to stay at the Stablemaster's Quarters in Madison. All of their angst melted away upon entering our moody yet welcoming abode. They were delighted to find their favorite music playing and fresh cookies waiting for them! The care and attention to guests' experience was evident- from the meticulous and thoughtful renovations to the muffins delivered to us the morning that we checked out!Suzie could not have been a better hostess! She truly has a passion for making her guests feel like beloved family. My kids want her to adopt them!Communication was on point from the moment we booked to check-out. Parking was easy and convenient. Location is centered in a bustling, quaint downtown with tons of shops and restaurants! Clifty Falls was just a few minutes of driving away (and SO worth visiting!).Suzie- You have spoiled my kids! How am I ever going to top this?! We will absolutely be back!

You need to stay here!

I’ve been to various vrbo’s, and this was by far the best one I’ve ever seen. Pictures don’t do this property justice. Suzie was the most incredible host! Everything was immaculate and very convenient. We were greeted with fresh cookies, bagels, and upon departure she had delicious muffins waiting for us. The location is absolutely perfect for shopping, dining, and exploring the river. I can’t stress how perfect this property was. Susie’s personality matches the welcoming town of Madison to a tee. I will definitely be back again asap. Thank you Suzie for making this getaway absolutely perfect! You were the perfect host.

Perfection from start to finish

Susie is one of the nicest, most accommodating hosts you could ever find. She answered questions in minutes instead of hours, wanted to know our favorite music so that it would be playing as we walked in and then she had hot cookies waiting on the counter for us when we arrived. We were coming into town early so that we could watch a football game at one of the local establishments and then check in. She was so accommodating that we were able to check in early and watch most of the game in her beautiful apartment. Every amenity that you could possibly want she has provided along with many that you wouldn’t even think of. The refrigerator was stocked with flavored creamers, many kinds of coffee, bagels and cream cheese, condiments, spices and water. The beds and the linens are top-notch and we slept like babies. Our 2 1/2 day retreat felt like a week’s vacation. I can’t wait to return!

Simply the best

We just had a very enjoyable stay in Madison this past week mostly due to the incredible hospitality shown to us by our host, Suzie. First, it’s hard to imagine a prettier, more comfortable apartment on VRBO than Susie’s. Just about everything you need to have a relaxing stay was provided from hot cookies on arrival to warm muffins in the morning. The frig and pantry were filled with goodies and eliminated the need to make any trips to the food market. The location was perfect, near shops and restaurants. If you are a couple or a group of four, the unit is amazing. If you have a larger party Suzie can accommodate you in a fantastic loft apartment which she let us tour one afternoon. Ask her to show you the garage! We never experienced a host as caring as Suzie. She was ready to assist us with any question or need. When she learned we were there to visit a dear friend, she made it a point to be sure we had what we needed to make our visit a special one. Without question this is the best VRBO experience we have ever had.

One of the BEST

This is easily one of the best places we have stayed on vacation. Suzanne WAS the best host we have ever had. Extremely fast to respond to any questions and kept us informed of any maintenance visits that needed to be done. There was some warm cookies waiting for us when we arrived and she delivered fresh muffins to our doorstep a few days later. The stablemasters quarters where we stayed was amazing. Very clean, well stocked and comfortable. We were celebrating our anniversary and a nice touch that was very appreciated was a slice of cake with a Happy Anniversary sign on it. There was also a small Happy Anniversary banner in the living room. A very thoughtful touch. The one caveat would be the TV is too small to be comfortably viewed from the couch. For us, the location was perfect. Easily within walking distance to all the unique shops and restaurants in downtown Madison and the river is only a few blocks away too! Overall, we are extremely happy and satisfied and will definitely be visiting again.
