About this property

The Wadsworth in National Historic District of Madison, Indiana.

  • The Wadsworth House was built in the mid-1800s. It is a fully renovated and modern Shotgun house in a quiet part of town on the east side, walkable to all events, to the river, and to shops/boutiques on Main St. Some folks living around have been living in the area all their lives. The Wadsworth House is situated on a charming tree-lined street with lots of character. Besides being a family name, it is also named The Wadsworth House in honor of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whose poems I was forced to recite in the 5th grade! Hated it then, appreciate it now :)

    One of the original owners, a carpenter, moved into the house in 1907 and added the side hall onto the east side of this shotgun house, giving it the privacy needed for the family. He had immigrated from Germany and took a job working at the button factory in town. Hardwood floors, a modernized full kitchen with granite countertops, and king-sized beds with full tiled bathrooms make this house a comforting getaway.

Perfect Madison VRBO!

Wonderful VRBO steps away from the Ohio River and historic Madison in a very quiet setting. The home is comfortable, clean and very well-equipped, and the seating at the rear of the house is a nice bonus! The owners are great people, and have anticipated every need for a short or long stay. Highly recommend this property!

Wonderful getaway

What a lovely home that we were able to enjoy some time away for our anniversary. Madison is such a charming community and this house adds to that charm. The location is a short walk to downtown, and during that walk you can see all the lovely homes in this neighborhood.The hosts provide such a welcoming home and a beautiful one at that. If we make another trip to Madison we will surely stay again at this house.

This property was perfect. It was so clean and open, yet at the same time cozy and comfortable. I truly felt at home, even took a nap on the sofa with the door open and screen door unlocked. Felt safe our whole stay. Two blocked from Main St. our stay was awesome. Thank you guys!
