This Italianate-style townhouse built in 1870 offers a rare combination of prime location, architectural character, and standout amenities. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend getaway, a family trip, or an extended stay, Madison Manor I is designed for relaxation, connection, and memorable experiences. Inside, historic charm meets modern comfort with exposed brick and thoughtful décor. The well-equipped kitchen includes pantry basics and everything you need for easy meals at home.

Curated spaces throughout the home invite you to unwind after a day of exploring. Spend evenings soaking in the hot tub beneath pergola café lights, gathering around the fire pit, or enjoying movies, games, and friendly competition indoors. The home is pet-friendly, making it easy to include your four-legged companion on riverside strolls or hikes at nearby Clifty Falls. Thorough cleaning protocols between guests ensure a spotless and sparkling stay.

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!

Lovely Family Weekend

Loved staying here! We brought 2 teenage girls who were easily entertained being close to Main St and shopping. The game room was great, and we all loved the hot tub. The home was so clean and organized. The house is quaint and cozy. We will definitely be back!

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

Friends

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.
