About this property

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!

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.

About the host

Hosted by Mona Matheney

I grew up in Madison! I lived on the west end of town and attended Lydia Middleton. I remember all the homes and alleys and lying on the river bank watching the slow-going Delta Queen moving along like a floating palace. Every summer day, I dreamed of how I would own one of the magnificent old houses, particularly the Shotgun House! When I graduated, I married and left for 50 years! My husband and I returned home to Madison two years ago after we retired, and are loving it!

Why they chose this property

I love quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods in a small town. I live near The Wadsworth and am very happy with the laid-back personalities of the neighbors around me. The nightlife and music are amazing in Madison, and so many places to go and see. I will have all the restaurants listed in my welcome book and flyers for you to review. The wineries are informative and delicious. Sallies Small Batch Ice Cream is homemade at their family dairy farm and is alone enough reason to come for a memorable and relaxing time in Historic Madison, Indiana! Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

The Wadsworth is clean and quiet. It was built in the mid-1800s and was owned by one of my neighbor's grandfathers. He immigrated from Germany and worked at the Button factory. Although this Shotgun house has been renovated on the inside to be modern, it is still easy to reminisce about the folks who came before us and settled in this area for a promising new start.
