We loved our stay in Madison! Great location! Very close to River for a morning walk, close enough to downtown to walk to dinner. The home is old and aesthetically very pleasing. We hiked at Clifty Falls and spent time in the hot tub for our sore muscles…the home has everything you need for a lovely stay!

It was OK
Its OK for an Old house. Very cute and detailed, however, if there are any one w any handicaps, this is NOT for you. We had to wash every dish by hand and the entire place could use a general cleaning

The location was perfect for getting to a wedding venue in Milton KY. The upstairs bedrooms were nice sizes. The bathrooms were small- low toilets without grab bars. Nice sized kitchen. The listing stated 3 bedrooms,but the bunk beds are in more of a pass through- no doors. The steps to front door and upstairs were steeper than expected. Very clean townhouse.
