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 including 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
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.
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.
This was a wonderful house with gorgeous views of the Ohio River. We sat for hours in the evening on the front porch watching barges. The view was particularly magnificent because it was fall, so foliage was brilliant. The house had spacious but cozy rooms to hang out, eat and watch TV in. Beds and bedrooms were very comfortable with a great views. The house was close to beautiful Madison, with good restaurants and a riverside park. Sonia was delightful--so helpful and friendly, but very respectful of her guests' privacy. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay here!
This is a very charming place. Only about 2 miles from downtown Madison. Great views of the river, particularly from the front porch. It is on a fairly busy road but we weren’t there during the day and the traffic is light at night. It was very clean. Sonia, the host, is very easy to work with. Recommend this for a small family or group of friends.

Very nice place , clean ,comfortable . Lot of amenities. Fully furnished. Plenty of towels. It says you can see river from all rooms and it does. Close to downtown Madison. Sonia is a great host. We have a miniature dachshund and he was welcome. We will return in the future.
Had a good time in Madison. Host was great to work with!
Sonia is great! The house is quirky, but comfy!
This property has a open layout which is awesome. The steps upstairs are a little steep/close and you need to watch your head as you come down them. Sonia was a great help with any question/issue we may have had while there. The view is just lovely. The cars do travel very fast down this road so there is that sound going by but you get used to it. Overall it was a good fit for our trip. Madison is such a lovely and friendly town. We will definitely be back. Thank you for your hospitality.
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!
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!
Awesome view of the Ohio River, very close to downtown Madison and Clifty Falls State Park, super cute house. Highly recommend.
For nice place to stay for a quick weekend getaway, this property was just what we needed.
Very cute & clean. Enjoyed our stay
This house was the prefect place to stay during our visit to Madison. House is very roomy, clean, bed was very comfortable. Just a short drive to town. Hope to make a visit to your charming town again and would love to stay here again.
Great location, great River views
The view from all windows was incredible. Lovely decor. Would certainly stay here again.
Lovely view! Sonia was delightful to work with, answered my questions quickly.
This property had great views of the river. We were in the area for a gathering so we did not spend much time at the property but was intrigued by its uniqueness. Sonia was great to work with. She answered all of my questions and was very easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our time in southern Indiana.
Nice place with some great history. The owners are very kind and very responsive to your needs. We really enjoyed our stay. I would recommend their place to anyone who wants to visit Madison.
Easy, and affordable. Very unique property. Comfortable, and nice view.
This place was exactly as advertised. Super smooth reservation, even when I messed it up, easy check in, things were what we expected. Plenty of room for the two of us and our dog. Could of used a gas grill, but that is really the only thing we didn't have that we would of used. Clean, plenty of towels and other supplies. The road is very close to the house, but once we went to bed, I never noticed the road noise. Even had the fun of a torrential downpour our last night and water seeped into the house along the back wall which is built into a hill. Owners told me over the phone where a drain was, and he was there within minutes to help and make things right. Act of God but they offered us another night to make it right. Can't ask much more than that. Super owners!
A very nice place, pet friendly, and very clean. A few more bugs than we'd hoped for, but it just seemed no one had been in there for a while. Just a suggestion - upstairs bathroom could use a towel rack near the sink/toilet. EZ check in/out.
The house was a great hidden gem! Comfortable for the family, very nice inside. Great distance from town and clifty falls, which is what we were visiting.
Great communication
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!
Stink bugs everywhere. The upstairs was hot. tried opening the windows no screens. Sliding patio door in upstairs dangerous. No screen and goes right out to the roof.
