About this house rental
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.

My daughter got married in Madison. We rented the Wadsworth so that she had a nice place to get ready. Everything was perfect. There was a beautiful Christmas tree in the living room and there was plenty of space for the hairdresser to come and fix hair. The bathroom had great mirrors and lighting for my daughter to do her makeup. It snowed and the owners made sure that there was salt on the sidewalks and that they were clear. I couldn't think of a better place for my daughter to get ready for her wedding. We always have a great experience when we rent this house.

We enjoyed our stay at The Wadsworth. The house was clean and comfortable. It is located near the Ohio River walk and downtown Madison. Perfect for exploring on foot! We also hiked at Clifty Falls State Park which was less than 10 minutes.

Our stay was perfect. The house is well maintained and cared for. It was just as pictured. The house was stocked with all of our needs. Thank you for your hospitality. The location is on a quiet street and we were able to walk to all of our desired destinations in town.
