Wonderful home for our five sibling get-together! Beautiful home within walking distance to the river walk, downtown shops and restaurants and historical home tours. Lots of space for each of us to have our own bedroom. We will definitely book this house again when visiting charming Madison.

The home is beautiful. The kitchen was stocked nicely for our stay. The location was perfect, close to everything.Heads up, most of the shops and restaurants are closed on both Monday and Tuesday, leaving no choice but to drive a bit to find restaurants open.We would definitely go back to this property.

We so enjoyed staying here. It's a beautiful home, clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was really easy to walk all around Madison. The host was very responsive when we had questions before check in. If we go back to Madison we'll stay here again.

We had an excellent time at The Main Stay for our group of 4. The house is beautifully decorated, spacious, and very comfortable. We appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and coffee bar. The comfortable bedrooms had plenty of space for everyone.

Very spacious and well situated within walking distance to downtown Madison. Also very quiet space where most outside noise is not noticeable. Clean and tidy. Pet friendly. The space and size was actually better than photos, a really great overall experience!

Street parking was great on the side street or in front. House was very well thought out & beautifully decorated. Everything was so clean and smelled nice. We love the area where we could walk or drive just a few minutes for shopping and restaurants. Only an hour drive to one of the best wineries & pizza in the state - Holtkamp Winery! And less drive time to another good one - Streamcliff where they have a cafe, plants for sale and winery!

BEAUTIFUL home! Perfect for our family for graduation. Very spacious. Plenty of street parking. Walking distance to lots of places. Host was very friendly and immediately answered any questions I had. I couldn’t think of anything else they could possibly do to make our stay any nicer. (other than adding a Hanover coffee mug to the kitchen)

Very pleased with this property! It was even better than the pictures. There are two bedrooms on each floor and 1 full and 1 half bathroom on each floor as well. The master bedroom on the 1st floor had a very comfortable foam mattress and my sisters said their beds very also quite comfortable. It is very spacious. We did cook one meal in the kitchen and had everything we needed… new cookware, baking sheets, utensils, salt/pepper and oil. We had a lovely time at The Main Stay and would certainly recommend it!
