The perfect home rental for a downtown Madison stay. Spacious rooms with great common areas. A fully stocked kitchen, dining room and a nice outdoor area with lights at the end of the day. The home is ideally situated to walk the riverfront and visit shops, restaurants and the downtown Madison area. We will absolutely stay here again when we come back to Madison!

Great location, spacious and clean. Easy check in. Check out was at 10, a little early for us, but they did have an early 2:00 check in. The host had sound machines and charging stations in all the bedrooms. Very comfortable beds and bedding. Thermostat on both floors. We had a great stay. would definitely stay again.

Our stay was very enjoyable. We loved the comfortable beds, the beautiful well furnished kitchen, and the lovely decor and furnishings with several places to sit and relax. The hosts are quick to respond with any questions/needs. We were interested in the history of this 1846 building and hope to return one day to get the full story! (Do note there are some long stairs up to the bedrooms when deciding about staying here.) Very conveniently located with walking an option to the river and shops along Main. Thanks for a fun and comfortable stay!

This property is exceptional; even more amazing than what was described! Communication was timely and thorough for check-in/out process. The hosts thought of everything: toiletries you might’ve forgotten at home, several game options if your family chose a night in, cozy throw blankets, cold water in the refrigerator upon your arrival, even umbrellas for your personal use in the event your vacation ends up being soggy, rainy, and sometimes stormy. The house was immaculately clean, the location was perfection for walking around downtown and enjoying all the town has to offer, and I would definitely recommend this property for anyone vacationing in or near Madison, IN.

Our stay at this beautiful old home on Main Street in Madison was fantastic. The property has been beautifully maintained and modernized just enough to be comfortable without losing the gorgeous, authentic feel of an old home that clearly has stories to tell.The rooms were spacious and incredibly comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax. The location simply can't be beat—we loved that we could easily walk to all the local shops and great restaurants.Finally, the hosts were wonderfully helpful and provided a perfectly smooth, hands-off experience. We appreciated that they don't live on-site, which truly made the house feel like our own private retreat. We highly recommend this property!

Main bedroom. Comfy.
