About this property
Historic Madison Eagle Inn
PETS NOW WELCOME! Welcome to the historic Madison Eagle, a standalone studio-style space that combines the charm of the past with modern comfort. Located in the heart of Madison on Main St, the Eagle has a rich history dating back to the late 1700s. The original wooden floors and high ceilings create a sense of grandeur and nostalgia. The space features a blend of contemporary and antique furnishings and vintage decor, providing a unique glimpse into the past, including the building's and the area's history.
Before the Eagle was a cozy place to stay, it was home to the Madison County Eagle newspaper for 60 years. Prior to that, it was a store, a law office, a doctor's office, a storehouse, and even housed dairy cows at one point.
The plush queen-size bed includes fluffy pillows and a soft duvet. The sofa folds out into a full bed for two more guests. The bathroom is located just off the bedroom and includes a shower, toilet, and sink, as well as fresh towels and toiletries. Laundry is available for guest use.
The Eagle's kitchenette is equipped with all the essentials you need to prepare a simple meal, including a refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, countertop burner, dishwasher, electric tea kettle, and coffee maker. Coffee and a selection of teas are provided for our guests. Relax with a book from the shelf in the cozy reading nook and play a selection of board games or assemble puzzles at the large dining table.
The entire building is yours for the duration of your stay. The Eagle includes four dedicated parking spaces at the back of the building and keypad access through the back door.
Owners Lorrie and Jonathan are available to answer your questions during your stay.

We loved the location in downtown historic Madison. The kitchen was well equipped. We were there to attend a wedding nearby at Early Mountain Vineyard, just a seven minute drive from where we were staying. We would definitely stay there again if in the area. Highly recommend.
Very well done and super clean studio in a historical building. Great location to Old Rag and trails on the East side of Shenandoah. Coffee and breakfast right down the road and decent restaurants within a 20 minute drive.
