About this property

Best downtown location! Stablemasters Quarters is awarded winning! Come see why…

  • We have been awarded "Best Place to Stay in Madison" along with multiple other awards!

    This historic building was originally one of the city’s horse stables and has recently been converted into apartments. The new furnishings, bathrooms, luxury linens, towel warmer and a complete kitchen will be appreciated yet the historic charm is blended within.

    This fun river town will remind you of years gone by. Come see why Ladie’s Home Journal awarded Madison “ prettiest small town in the midwest”. Chicago Tribune says it’s “the best preserved midwest town".

    And, USA TODAY awarded Madison as the BEST SMALL TOWN in the Midwest! Our building was also featured in 3 page article in the Louisville Courier Journal.

    This circa 1860 historic building originally was one of the city’s main stables. It’s now a blend of barnwood contemporary and vintage charm with so many amenities!

    New renovations, large gathering area and luxury furnishings will leave you wanting to stay longer. Come see why guests say they don’t want to leave!!

    This unit is on the main floor with a very easy entry There is also a laundry area. We provide baby and children supplies as well as portable chairs for your use during music festivals and other festivities. We are located at the start of the festivals, right on Broadway Street! The seasonal farmer's market is just across the street on Saturday mornings.

    We will also send you a list of recommendations and venues for live music before your arrival.

    You will see that we have the BEST downtown location!

    We are centrally located in the best part of downtown and in walking distance to most places.

    Our Livery Loft apartment is another award winning unit and can sleep 5 more guests. It is located directly above Stablemaster's Quarters. We will soon have another unit available so we can then sleep up to 13 guests.

    You will be pleasantly surprised by all the amenities we provide and soon see why our guests often say we are their "best vacation rental experience".

    Feel free to read our years of 5 star reviews.

The absolute perfect place!! Our hostess was the best! She knew we were celebrating my bday, and so when we arrived, she had "happy birthday, Michelle" signs to greet us! Also, she had my favorite music playing, fresh cookies, and a magical piece of bday cake! So many personal touches! I felt quite pampered. Plus, the place itself is stunning! Gorgeous decor! So many little things like a heated towel rack...every possible thing you might need when traveling, she had waiting for you.

We had a GREAT stay. Suzie and Ron are wonderful hosts, from the beginning to the end of our stay.We were able to check in early, when we walked in, my favorite artist was playing and a dish of warm delicious cookies were on the stove waiting for us. On our last night we got a text asking us what time we wanted the home made blueberry muffins Ron was making delivered in the morning. So many nice surprises, too many to list. Highly recommend Stablemaster's Quarters, you can't go wrong.

I’m confident in my belief that Suzie is far more concerned with properly serving her guests than she is any income her property may generate. She was a phenomenal hostess, providing us a much better than home, home away from home experience. Her generosity shines by way of all the amenities and thoughtful extras she willingly provides and by way of her kind communication. She and Ron are surely as valuable of an asset to Madison, Indiana, as their location in Madison is to the guests they host. Their accommodations are top notch in cleanliness and cozy comfort, and close to nearly everything of interest. Pack your walking shoes because you can explore several sites, shops, and restaurants all within walking distance.
