Bovard Lodge
The cabin was wonderful. Close to the casino, river, Madison and not far from Cincinnati or the slopes. The owner was amazing. She thought of everything. There were comfy blankets for cuddling up by the fire. A wonderful firepit, corn hole boards, movies and games for all of us.

100% Pleased and truly maybe the best rental I have ever stayed at!
Buddy and I went down to tour some disilleries in the area. We arrived and were immediatley impressed with our lucky selection of a property. We quickly learned we should have brought the spouses to enjoy it with us. What a great place and the hosts couldnt be better! They comunicated regulary, offered suggestions and had every detail to a T! A welcome book, several outside areas set up with firewood, games, cards, etc. the list goes on and on. 100% will return with the family for this retreat!

Cozy Lodge
Rosemary has a beautiful home, filled with so many unique items. The pictures do not showcase just how beautiful the home is. We were amazed when we opened the door. The kids loved the loft area. Check in and communication with the host were easy. We loved all the lodge had to offer and thoroughly enjoyed playing in the yard, catching fireflies and watching the deer in the field. Sunsets were beautiful. The lodge was easy driving distance to the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum. We chose the scenic country route and were not disappointed. Just down the road you can go to the riverfront in VeVay and walk the beach. Our trip was lovely. Thank you for allowing us to rent your home Rosemary!

Great Stay!!
We loved this little spot. It’s just far enough and close enough to all things we needed and wanted. Madison IN is a MUST for those that love the old town feel. It’s gorgeous. The cabin was clean, cozy, pet friendly, and more than enough for 2 of us. Will need to bring the family back. Rosie was an amazing lady. It was like seeing a friend I’ve known for years, or visiting my momma. She was planting her garden on the property, and it just felt like we were visiting family. Super sweet lady. We just can’t wait to come back to the area and stay with Rosie.

Warm and inviting
Bovard Lodge was well represented and met all of our expectations. Being able to take our dog along meant a great deal. We had the chance to meet the owner Rosemary who was personable and while we did not have any problems, I feel she would have been right on top of it. She wants her guests to enjoy the Lodge as much as she does.

Very cozy and beautiful cabin. Could have used a little better bathroom cleaning in shower and needs dusting around lights but other than that, very clean. Dryer was broken and I was not told before traveling across the country. Was directed to a local laundromat. Owners communication was prompt but I am a southern girl and used to super nice and polite. Overall a good trip for the time that we were there.
