Mother/ daughters getaway

We were able to check in early. The house is very cute and we enjoyed using the golf cart to explore around town. We enjoyed hanging out in the evening in the house. It had everything we needed and it was very clean. We would definitely stay there again,

The two of us had a weekend getaway. On other visits, we stayed closer to Main Street, but this location was perfectly fine. Walking around Madison is easy and enjoyable. This home is new and well done. Would definitely recommend.

We loved the house! It was beautiful and just what we needed for our long weekend visiting Madison and Clifty Falls State Park. Chris was very responsive when I reached out prior to our stay and the bottle of wine awaiting us when we arrived was a lovely surprise. The deck on the back of the house was the perfect spot to enjoy that gift. The house is a quick walk to the river front, which we walked everyday/evening. It didn’t greatly impact your stay, but you will hear a great deal of traffic throughout the day and evening as the house is just a few feet off of a busy road. There were also no hangers in any of the closets, so hopefully those can be added. Those small details did not greatly impact us and we still loved the house! We will definitely stay again.

Warm and welcoming.

Great communication with property owner. Very accommodating. We stayed during an invasion of Lady Bird Beetles. The whole town was overrun by them. We would definitely stay at this location again on our next trip to Madison.

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.

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

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.

What makes this property unique

Glenda’s Overlook is dedicated to my dear mother. We lost her in January of 2023 to cancer, just a few months after we had purchased this property and began construction.
Please enjoy and care for our home just as she cared for us as a mother.
