This was a great place for our girls trip. The house was just as pictured and we loved every minute there. We all love history and would like to know more about the history of the house. Cyndi was a great host. We had a few questions and she responded within a few minutes. There were also personal touches that we had never experienced with an Air bnb. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a place to stay in Madison.

About the host

Hosted by Cyndi Johnson

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I have long wanted a historic home, and Madison Manor delivers! Built in 1870 in the largest contiguous national historic district, this home is perfect!

What makes this property unique

This townhome is just 2 blocks from the Ohio River and in the heart of downtown Madison. It is bookable by itself, or with the adjoining Madison Manor I. For a larger group, book both sides and have all the space you need for up to 12 guests.
