    The house was absolutely lovely and the perfect place for people to gather as we went to rock Hill farm to celebrate my nephew’s wedding. It was clean. It was well laid out. It was outfitted Nicely the owners needed to come in and check something while we were there and we’re very courteous about letting us know that they were coming and when they were there and when they might have to come back with some supplies Anything else if we’re down this way again, we certainly would go back to the house. Thanks for everything.

    What an awesome home and grounds! The kitchen was so well stocked- everything we needed! The bedrooms were comfortable and the views were truly amazing. The property itself is so well thought out- spaces for everyone to enjoy- we would love to come in the summer and enjoy the river more. Also- they have a terrific record collection- we all loved the 4 seasons room!

    We were there for a week with our kids and grandkids. The setting was great, with the large yard and the view of the river and mountains. The kids enjoyed the river and playing in it, canoeing, etc. The kids loved the pond for fishing. The ping pong table was a great hit for kids and adults. The kitchen was well appointed with good high quality cutlery, lots of glassware, an assortment of pots and pans. We grilled a couple of times and the grill worked well. We got out for some good hikes in the area, and some biking, despite the incredible heat this week. We visited several local breweries, and they were great! Vicki was very assessible and eager to help with anything we needed. Our dogs seemed to have as much fun as we did. The vinyl collection in the 4 seasons room was happily utilized. The WiFi was strong and reliable, which was important, since I had to log in to work a little nearly every day.

    We were extremely pleased with the property. It appears the owners have thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. When we wanted to identify a bird, binoculars were right there. When we wanted a card table, there was one in a closet. When we wanted a bottle opener, a strainer, a casserole dish, they were all available. The furniture is new and tasteful. The beds and pillows are comfortable. The grounds are gorgeous. We spent a good deal of our trip on the back deck. We loved the house so much, we’ve already booked a return trip. We highly recommend this house.

    This is a beautiful place to stay. Lots of private areas to get away if needed but also great gathering spaces inside. We had happy hours in the Tiki Room, watched the Euro's (soccer) in the Great Room, played a rousing game of KickBall on the extensive grounds and the younger folk went for long walks on the beautiful property. We found a couple of places to visit in Madison, Bald Top Brewing and Cake Krums Cafe. Highly recommend both. The owner and caretaker were both responsive to our issues the main one was getting locked out of the bunkhouse as we were preparing to leave and dealing with a couple of wasp nests. (There was wasp spray in the house). My husband said the gas grill was excellent, the best and cleanest we have encountered on any VRBO rental. All in all highly recommend this place.

    Madison House was the star of our family reunion. Nine adults and a wee dog enjoyed so many memorable moments from before sunrise to after every beautiful sunset at this awesome home in the Blue Ridge mountains. We enjoyed the natural beauty and sounds outside and all the amenities inside - it was like we won the lottery. Thank you, Kelly, for all that you have done to offer this magical place for all of us to enjoy - Peace.
