Madison Getaway

The home was a nicely refurbished older structure just on the east edge of Madison and very near the bridge to Kentucky. The bathrooms were roomy and the bedrooms comfy.If you do rent this house, I don't see how more than four guests could comfortably stay there. Downstairs main area felt cramped at times with 4 adults.The only serious drawback I felt was the driveway of the property. Frankly, it was rather small and felt more like a launching pad given the extreme angle of the entrance and exit.

Clean, comfy, complete

We visit Madison at least twice a year. We decided to try a VRBO instead of staying in a hotel as we normally do.Glenda's Overlook exceeded our expectations. It was clean and well supplied. Our daughter was excited to find a TV in her bedroom. It snowed during our stay and my husband was happy to find a snow shovel out back. The driveway is a bit of an upward incline, so the shovel was great. I enjoyed all the bits of Madison included in the decor. Host was very responsive. Can't wait to visit in warmer weather so we can enjoy the deck and woods.

Quick visit

Property was comfortable, new and clean. Easily fit our group of 4. Location ok, but quite a walk to Madison stores and restaurants. On a warm night I’m sure golf cart rental would have been fun. We would definitely stay again.

Madison, Indianna Get-Away

This property worked out very well for my wife and I on our short get-away to Madison. We loved the furnishings, the street-view, the decor and accessories. It's cleanliness was excellent, even in room corners. The kitchen is a little tight around the large bar but still navigable for a short vacation stay. I loved the private off-the-street parking right off the entry door, as well as the private 2nd floor outdoor deck, although we didn't use it due to the high outside temperatures this week. We will most definitely seek out this property if we get to Madison in the future. Randy
