Our stay at this beautiful old home on Main Street in Madison was fantastic. The property has been beautifully maintained and modernized just enough to be comfortable without losing the gorgeous, authentic feel of an old home that clearly has stories to tell.The rooms were spacious and incredibly comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax. The location simply can't be beat—we loved that we could easily walk to all the local shops and great restaurants.Finally, the hosts were wonderfully helpful and provided a perfectly smooth, hands-off experience. We appreciated that they don't live on-site, which truly made the house feel like our own private retreat. We highly recommend this property!
Upstairs. There are 2 sets of stairways.
Main bedroom. Comfy.
Large main bathroom with tub and shower.
Modern kitchen
Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025

Why they chose this property

Downtown Madison blends historic charm with easy access to shops, cafés, and the Ohio River. We were drawn to the quiet, tree-lined Main Street setting and the ability to stroll to local restaurants, antique stores, and seasonal festivals. It offers the best of both worlds: a calm residential feel with plenty to explore just steps away.

505 W Main Street combines classic character with modern comfort. The home is freshly furnished with high-quality beds and cozy living spaces, equipped with fast Wi-Fi, two smart TVs, and a fully stocked kitchen. Families especially appreciate the kid-friendly touches—games, books, high chair, and pack ’n play—plus a private backyard patio and covered seating area that make it easy to unwind after a day in town.
