About this property

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

We have been awarded "Best Place to Stay in Madison" along with multiple other awards!

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.

We will also send you a list of recommendations and venues for live music before your arrival.

You will see that we have the BEST downtown location!

We are centrally located in the best part of downtown and in walking distance to most places.

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".

This entire stay was spectacular. Susie and her husband are over the top hosts! They have thought of any and everything someone may need while staying away from home and gladly provide all of it. I have stayed in many properties and these are hands down the best hosts we’ve ever experienced. The property is beautiful and the location was perfect. Cannot say enough good things about all the extra attention to details. Highly recommend
