About this property
River Views from Every Room! Clean, Fun, Secluded, but close to town.
Beautiful Ohio River Frontage views from EVERY room (even the bathroom if the door was open!). Newly remodeled. Rural setting but close to town-5 minutes. Quiet nights. Swing on the country porch watching river roll by. Super clean and cleanable historic home. Carport, Woods. Waterfront theme. Watch fireworks from the porch or master bedroom. Handmade local amenities-natural soaps & spa products by award winning Fountain Alley BodyCare in Madison
The space
On designated Scenic Highway. This home was once an early trading post with a ferry that would cross the Ohio River. It had gambling and was used back then for hourly or overnight stays. It sets outside city limits and besides the busy highway during the daytime hours, it’s quiet and peaceful. Boats welcome.
Just outside of historic Madison Indiana, a stellar community, on historic registry, and just a beautiful place to go with shopping and restaurants and a state park!
Guest access
Whole house (excluding laundry room), large west side yard, short wooded trail behind home. The highway gets busy, be careful!
Other things to note
The highway is close and busy in the day. Pulling in and out of the driveway should be exercised with extreme caution. Children and elderly, pets, should be watched to stay away from the busy highway.
ANOTHER CAUTION: tall people be aware that the down stairs bathroom has a low clearance doorway, the stairway is low clearance, and a few beams throughout the home are low clearance.
The sleeping arrangements are: there is one completely private room with a twin and full sized bed. The master bedroom- with king bed- one must go through to get to the private room with the 2 beds. There is a hide a bed couch in the great room. The master bedroom is the nicest room but again it is open to the guest bedroom so not super private but roomy and the best view with sliding doors. This master bedroom has no door but is upstairs. See photos

About the host
Hosted by Sonia Folkner
We live just 1/2 hour from Madison, raised our two children on our farm, and now we love to travel but mostly we work at our Award Winning Store in Downtown Madison. Fountain Alley BodyCare. We do have another VRBO in Georgetown Florida is you're ever in the Neighborhood!
Why they chose this property
This property is close to town, yet secluded except for the Highway. It gets busy during travel for work time, but then minimal traffic. It is SO relaxing to sit on the porch and rock or swing and watch the barges go by. We changed even the floor in this home, so even though it is historical, it is also like new for most of it. It's aired, cleanable and clean.
What makes this property unique
You're so close to town, yet rural, and the hustle and bustle is only minutes away.
