River Views from Every Room! Clean Fun, Secluded, but close to town. Pool table
Beautiful Ohio River Frontage views from EVERY room (even the bathroom if the door was open!). Newly remodeled. Rural setting but close to town-5 minutes. Quiet nights. Swing on the country porch watching river roll by. Super clean and cleanable historic home. Carport, Woods. Waterfront theme. Watch fireworks from the porch or master bedroom. Handmade local amenities-natural soaps & spa products by award winning Fountain Alley BodyCare in Madison
The space On designated Scenic Highway. This home was once an early trading post with a ferry that would cross the Ohio River. It had gambling and was used back then for hourly or overnight stays. It sets outside city limits and besides the busy highway during the daytime hours, it’s quiet and peaceful. Boats welcome. Just outside of historic Madison Indiana, a stellar community, on historic registry, and just a beautiful place to go with shopping and restaurants and a state park!
Guest access Whole house (excluding laundry room), large west side yard, short wooded trail behind home. The highway gets busy, be careful!
Other things to note The highway is close and busy in the day. Pulling in and out of the driveway should be exercised with extreme caution. Children and elderly, pets, should be watched to stay away from the busy highway. ANOTHER CAUTION: tall people be aware that the down stairs bathroom has a low clearance doorway, the stairway is low clearance, and a few beams throughout the home are low clearance.
The sleeping arrangements are: there is one completely private room with a twin and full sized bed. The master bedroom- with king bed- one must go through to get to the private room with the 2 beds. There is a hide a bed couch in the great room. The master bedroom is the nicest room but again it is open to the guest bedroom so not super private but roomy and the best view with sliding doors. This master bedroom has no door but is upstairs. See photos

The charming house on the water was exceptionally clean with great views. As warned the road noise was loud but tolerable. There were little soaps from Fountain Alley Body Care that smelled great and a nice collection of other local attractions and activities. We found everything we needed for a great weekend at the park, a grill would be great though!
Cute little house sitting right on the river near Madison, Indiana. Property manager was responsive and the home was well-equipped for our hiking and weekend of exploring in Madison. Would definitely stay again!
Perfect getaway place for Homecoming weekend in Madison Indiana...quaint, well-appointed, great amenities including a water cooler...close enough to downtown Madison to quickly access all opportunities in town but enough off the beaten path to enjoy the peace and quiet of the wonderful Ohio River view...staying here capped off a fabulous weekend for my wife and I
The place was just as Sonia described and very well equipped. The layout is great and can't say enough about the porch and view. Thank you for sharing your place!
We loved the lay out of the two sets of tables and chairs and two sitting areas, kitchen area in between. Lots of windows to enjoy the light on the river at sunset and sunrise. A cozy place for hanging out and close to things to do. Appreciated also the history of it.
Sonia is a great host, great communication and very quick response time. The house was exactly what we needed, a great view and some peace and quiet. The house feels very private but you're just minutes from town. Lots of local shops and businesses near by. Thanks again Sonia for a great stay!
We came into the area to photograph a wedding and stayed pretty busy for the two days we were in town, but returning to this peaceful this rental in the evening was such a treat. The upstairs recliner with a river view was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee too. The property is very unique with some fun and interesting details that highlight it's historic vibe. Definitely enjoyed this rental.
Was a quick trip to Madison. Great location close to town on the river. Thank you Sonia for providing a doggy friendly home. Also, thank you for the lovely soaps. We had hoped to come to your shop for more!
Enjoyed location very close to main stream downtown Madison. Remodel and decor was fabulous, accommodations satisfactory. Close to wooded area and river, so did find small bugs and spiders making there way indoors. Would recommend regularly treatment.
Lovely place. Didn’t realize all the bedrooms were upstairs but we made it work with the pull out sofa for one of our older friends. Loved the water view. Very peaceful. WiFi and phone signal was minimal. Plenty of space and seating. Great appliances.

Why they chose this property
This property is close to town, yet secluded except for the Highway. It gets busy during travel for work time, but then minimal traffic. It is SO relaxing to sit on the porch and rock or swing and watch the barges go by. We changed even the floor in this home, so even though it is historical, it is also like new for most of it. It's aired, cleanable and clean.
What makes this property unique
You're so close to town, yet rural, and the hustle and bustle is only minutes away.
