Welcome to 2nd Street Carriage House and Inn
2nd Street Carriage House
2nd Street Carriage House is a renovated 1850's carriage house in the heart of historic Madison, Indiana. We are located a block away from Main Street, where a variety of shops, art galleries, and restaurants await you. Two blocks south from our cottage is the gorgeous Ohio Riverwalk. Wineries and antique malls are all within a few blocks away.
A charming and spacious bedroom with a queen size bed is located on the main floor, along with a master bathroom, complete with a clawfoot tub and shower. Upstairs you will find a comfortable family room, where you can relax, watch TV, or have a glass of wine. A fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, stove, refrigerator, and coffee maker is next to the family room.
Enjoy sitting outside in the fenced in private backyard. We are excited to share our town with you!
2nd Street Inn
2nd Street Inn sits directly in front of the Carriage House, and is a fully restored 1850's Folk Victorian. The Inn shares the block with several historical sites, most notably the Jeremiah Sullivan House, the Talbot-Hyatt House and Pioneer Garden, and the Masonic Schofield House. This inviting one story guest house has two bedrooms, one with a king, and the other with a daybed/trundle, ( two twin mattresses). It offers two full baths, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room, family room, and washer and dryer.
A welcoming covered front porch is the perfect place to sit outside and enjoy this charming historic neighborhood.
Both guest houses offer WiFi, Cable TV, and a DVD player.

About Us
We met at Hanover College, married, and moved to Valparaiso, Indiana, where we lived for 40 years. After retiring in 2013, we returned to Madison, a town that we have always loved for its beauty and friendliness. We love sharing Madison with friends and family and now having our guest cottages allows us to do just that!
