We had a fantastic stay at this home in Madison. The house was super clean, nicely renovated, well accommodated, and in a perfect location just off Main Street.

perfect anniversary getaway in a small town

Visited Madison, IN in late November for a weekend anniversary getaway. This house is immaculate and everything is in perfect condition. The owner has obviously put a lot of thought into making guests comfortable. The location is great for walking around town and we didn't need to drive anywhere all weekend. We would love to visit again.

We loved our winter weekend getaway at this home in Madison. The house was beautifully decorated with holiday touches throughout the main floor. It was well-appointed with everything we needed for our stay and then some. Rooms and beds were comfortable. Most important to us, the location meant we could walk to all kinds of shops, food, historical sites, and entertainment. The home is located just a short drive away from Clifty Falls, so we were able to do some hiking too. This was perfect for a snowy weekend!

Beautiful renovated & welcoming!

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house in Madison. The beds were very comfortable, and the house is spacious enough to have a comfortable stay. Some plants would make the outside space more welcoming. The house is very nicely renovated and has good energy. The location is close to coffee shops and restaurants - I would return here.

This was the nicest VRBO we have every stayed at. The property is a beautifully restored row house furnished with top of the line amenities. Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for our stay and even included some cans of pop, water and snacks. Had a great little patio with fire pit. Located right in the heart of Madison we were able to walk to all the attractions, shops and restaurants. Hosts were very quick to reply to messages. We would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.

Historical Downtown Madison

Felt like home in this beautifully historical home within walking distance of everything there is to see. Having a golf cart from Acree Ali carts helped us to enjoy our experience even more. This home is outstanding, so many commodities, that I just love. The back courtyard, such a wonderful place to gather at the end of a beautiful evening with friends and family..

Perfect Get-away

I thoroughly enjoyed my entire stay—from booking to check-out, everything was seamless. The space was beautifully decorated, blending modern updates with the timeless charm of a classic row house. It was warm, welcoming, and full of character.What really stood out were all the thoughtful touches—the local recommendations, favorite restaurant orders, and extra details about the town made it feel so personal. The hosts truly went above and beyond. I can’t wait to book again!

Absolutely Wonderful!

It was perfect……perfect location; perfect decor; perfect outdoor space; perfect everything to even include the little puzzles that had a piece shaped like Indiana (we had so much fun with puzzles and dominoes). Thank you for leaving drinks and snacks for us. It was truly appreciated! And thank you for sharing your home with us. It is a wonderful home!

Girls trip to Madison

This property was even better in person. Four of us stayed in this perfectly decorated row house in the heart of Madison. Once we parked our car we never had to drive the rest of the weekend. All of the cute shops and restaurants are within walking distance. The owners made the check in and check out process so simple and they supplied everything we needed for a fun weekend getaway! The European decor was so well done and we loved the modern conveniences throughout the home as well! We would highly recommend this property and we would definitely stay here again!
