We came for a funeral and it was a great place for us to stay (unlike a crowded hotel room). The rooms were great and we felt very at home.

The house was comfortable and pleasant to stay in and covenant to shopping and restaurants the host was very helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay in Madison Indiana.
Everything about this property was just as expected. We had 7 adults stay and there was plenty of space for all of us. It was in close proximity to everything we needed for our stay. David even had coffee for us to drink in the morning. Everything about our stay was great and we all said we would stay here again.
Our host, David, was very responsive and friendly. He truly made our stay memorable. Addition, the house is large and welcoming. There was plenty of space for my husband, myself, and our two granddaughters, not to mention our small dog, Teddy. It’s also an historic home which adds a special ambiance.
Fantastic location, close to charming shops and beautiful walks, near a stunning state park. Plenty of comfortable space to hang out and decompress after our day adventures. The historic home is beautifully appointed. The stairs were no problem for our group, but might be too steep for small children or someone with mobility limitations.Check-in was a breeze, and the host was thorough, responsive and kind. We came for a conference, but I would definitely return for a holiday weekend, and happy to stay at this home.
We had a great time. The house was perfect for our family catching up. This house is a beautiful older house and the property manager was so helpful! Highly recommend it and would stay here again.
The location was great, we were able to walk to dinner both evenings as well as the Main Street shops and wineries. We also spent a morning at Cliffty Falls state park just a few minutes drive away. Parking on the street was easy and there was plenty of space for 3 cars we brought for our trip birthday trip.
Nice town, charming home in a great location with an exceptional host! We would not hesitate to stay here again. We enjoyed the shops and restaurants while visiting. On our next trip (and there will be one!), we will plan to tour some of the historic homes and take a ride on the river.
The property was exactly as described in the listing. Plenty of space, clean, and perfectly located to enjoy Downtown Madison. Would definitely stay again.
If you enjoy staying within walking distance to shops, restaurants, entertainment and the river walk this house is a perfect spot. The beds were very comfortable. David, our host, was a attentive.
Excellent location! Excellent property! We had a truly wonderful stay! You should take the hot tub off of the amenity list. The backyard was a wonderful space.
My sister, her two daughters and myself met in Madison for a girls weekend. The location of this property was perfect for us because it was close to downtown restaurants and shopping. We love the property, had everything we needed. Beds are super comfortable and the backyard. Was a great space for us to hang out in the evening.
Madison is the quintessential charming American small town, and this is in a great location. The property is even better in person than photos can allow. And the back yard is amazing! If you like nice soft beds, you'll find these cozy and comfy.
We had such a nice time in this beautiful home. We were able to walk and explore historic downtown Madison and hike nearby Clifty Falls State Park. The owner was wonderful in his communication, help and thoughtfulness. We enjoyed fun meals at the long dining room table. Our granddaughter was enchanted by the backyard outside warm lights. The beds were clean and comfy. Plenty of towels and washcloths. The living room had plenty of comfortable seating for t.v. viewing and conversation. All people who understand or have lived in old homes knows this fact... there's no way to quietly walk or move around in the night! The floors and stairs squeek and crack loudly, but that is part of its wonderful charm!
Not 5 Stars But Could Be and Why We Won’t Book AgainI
Stayed 7 nights. Repeat Madison visitors for 30+ years. Loved the location in Historic District. Walking distance to almost everything. Very old and marginally clean. I’m picky. High sided claw foot tub with too small shower curtain was dangerous to enter and exit. It’s the only tub/shower in this rental. It was dirty. Needs safety bars on wall and maybe a step-stool. Needs hooks near sink for hand towels. Cleaners left no hand towels and only 2 bath towels out and we had to hunt them down. Needs new mirror over sink as existing one is in terrible shape. AC unit is LOUD when running. Need a few tables and lamps in living room. Nowhere to put a glass or remote. Stairs are creaky but that’s part of the charm. The wobbly handrail is dangerous. Washer/dryer are LOUD. Cabinet over them is mounted too high to reach and door is broken. Kitchen is almost well-equipped but PLASTIC WINE GLASSES? We’re within steps of 2 wineries in Madison. We found only 2 butter knives in the cutlery drawer. Backyard is nice but flagstone patio is covered in a deep layer of dirt and chairs need paint. As does the outside of building. Grass needed mowing. Host is very nice and lives nearby. These things are easily fixed. Details matter when you want a 5 star review.

Ideal location - safe, convenient, super attractive area for a girls trip stay. Great walking distance to downtown, riverwalk, and short drive to hiking at Clifty Falls.
My friends and I had a great stay here when we visited Madison. Everything was exactly as described and David made himself more than available for any questions I had. The house is beautiful, and we would absolutely stay here again when we’re back in town! Highly recommend!
