— The Details —
Welcome to a rare whole-house downtown Madison stay: Madison Manor I & II, two adjoining historic townhouses under one roof, each with its own private entrance. Together, they offer an unbeatable combination of location, character, and standout amenities — ideal for larger groups who want to stay together without feeling crowded.

One of the only short-term rentals in Madison featuring both a hot tub and multiple dedicated game rooms, the property is designed for relaxation and connection. Evenings are made for soaking under pergola café lights, gathering around the fire pit, friendly competition in the game rooms, or movie night in the mini theater. The home is pet-friendly, so your four-legged companions can join riverside strolls or nearby hikes at Clifty Falls. Thorough cleaning protocols between guests ensure a spotless and sparkling stay.

Inside, historic charm meets modern comfort with exposed brick, thoughtful décor, and inviting spaces to unwind. With two well-equipped kitchens, pantry basics, and ample dining space, group meals are easy and enjoyable.

We had a wonderful time! The house was super cute and there was more than enough room for all of us! We had 6 adults and 4 kids. The kids especially loved all the games! It was great being able to walk to river and to the downtown area! Definitely recommend!
