Spacious & stylish period home furnished like you’re traveling back in time - or escaping it. With an eclectic mix of decor from antique federalist style to fun MCM, the owners designed it to feel like a cozy library. Ready to see historic Madison? Walk 3 mins to Main St where you’ll find the Attic, Mad Love, Trolley Barn, & Olde Tyme. On Saturday mornings, take a 7-min stroll through Madison’s most stately brick homes down Third through Mill, Vine, Elm, and Broadway to the Farmer’s Market.
We want you to be as comfortable as possible in our newly restored space (aka The Book Haven!). There’s beautiful and comfy bedding for four (two separate rooms with queen beds), towels, pillows, built-in cabinets, and dressers, and many options for stashing your stuff. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need if you choose to eat in - enjoy a full-size fridge, full electric oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and full dishware set. Theres also a washer and a dryer if you need to do laundry. Beyond the diner booth & chairs for two, there’s a covered outdoor table with seating for four overlooking our beautiful English garden. A 55-inch Samsung TV with free Roku/YouTubeTV and fast 300Mbps Wifi finish the space. This is truly a home away from home.

Notes
The owners live just 5 minutes away and keep part of their extensive book collection in Book Haven. We ask all guests to take good care of our books! Self check-in is through a keypad. Note this is a shotgun-style house with all four rooms back to back, although there is a door separating each of the two bedrooms. All pictures you see are within a 3-7 minute walk.
