The Wadsworth in National Historic District of Madison, Indiana.

The Wadsworth House was built in the mid-1800s. It is a fully renovated and modern Shotgun house in a quiet part of town on the east side, walkable to all events, to the river, and to shops/boutiques on Main St. Some folks living around have been living in the area all their lives. The Wadsworth House is situated on a charming tree-lined street with lots of character. Besides being a family name, it is also named The Wadsworth House in honor of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whose poems I was forced to recite in the 5th grade! Hated it then, appreciate it now :)

One of the original owners, a carpenter, moved into the house in 1907 and added the side hall onto the east side of this shotgun house, giving it the privacy needed for the family. He had immigrated from Germany and took a job working at the button factory in town. Hardwood floors, a modernized full kitchen with granite countertops, and king-sized beds with full tiled bathrooms make this house a comforting getaway.

Girls weekend getaway
The house was stunning and so clean. So much thought went into the little extras like emergency healthcare items, half and half in the fridge, extra cozy blankets for lounging and everything you could ever need for cooking meals. It's a beautiful and surprisingly quiet home. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Home away from home
This property was perfect. It was so clean and open, yet at the same time cozy and comfortable. I truly felt at home, even took a nap on the sofa with the door open and screen door unlocked. Felt safe our whole stay. Two blocked from Main St. our stay was awesome. Thank you guys!

Beautiful place!!
Love Madison and now we have a favorite place to relax there!!! This place is beautiful and immaculate and Mona is so responsive to questions and/or issues(like me being technologically challenged). So many little extras make this feel like home. Beds were perfect and towels made me feel like I was in a high end spa!!! We are already planning our next visit!

Outstanding Stay
This place is homey, warm and inviting. Just like home. Decor is just right. Perfect seating for 4 to lounge, talk & enjoy TV. Played lots of games we brought, and did lots of cooking and snacking. And we used the heck out of their Keurig. Left a few extra pod choices for those staying next. We’ll be back and refer others.

Home for the holidays
Christmas time in Madison is very special. The riverfront is lit up with Christmas lights and the shops are open with extended hours. The Wadsworth is very nice. It, too, was decorated for Christmas with a tree and window lights. The house is a perfect size for two couples - very comfortable and quiet. The kitchen is well-equipped, and the bedrooms are spacious. We are likely to return in the future.

Our short but rewarding stay in Madison, IN
We live in East Central IN, and have found Madison IN to be wonderful place for a quick get away, or for a week or more as there is plenty to do. But the best part of trip was the Wadsworth house. It is big enough for 2 couples very comfortably, but the amenities, the quality of the bedding, appliances, the way the house has been kept up is truly exceptional. It is so quiet and comfortable. It is a great place to come home to, whether it is as you're getting done with your road trip to Madison, or after a day of hiking Cliffty Falls State Park, or a hard day of exploring the shops of Madison. We have found our go to house in Madison when we come here. You will not be disappointed!
