Great location for visiting Madison as walkable to everything. Host was very responsive. Duplex was clean and met our needs for our extended family plus an infant. Host left an impressive amount of snacks and water as Check In gifts. Not what we usually experience and much appreciated! Highly recommended

We really enjoyed our stay in Madison, IN. It was perfect renting both sides of this duplex, with our 4 families! The kitchen was stocked with basic supplies and we appreciated the hosts thoughtful gifts and snacks! The place was well decorated and clean. The location was PERFECT. We had a river view from the front porch. We enjoyed walking from the house to the Main Street shops, and enjoyed river walks every day! The mattresses on all of the beds were not great. One family left a night early to go to their beds at home. Thank you for a great stay!

Friends Weekend

We had asked others for suggestions of places to visit for a girls weekend. Madison, Indiana was strongly suggested. So the hunt began for a place to stay. We wanted to be close to the river as well as downtown. This property met those reqirements so we booked it. It did not disappoint! It was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. There is a great view of the river and was only a half a block to walk to. Communication with the the owner was excellent! We highly recommend staying here.
