General's Quarters Short-term vacation rentals. General's Quarters includes a duplex building with 2 homes, and another half of a duplex. Book your next stay now!

Each are named 207 GQ, 209 GQ and our newest home 604 GQ on Mulberry all in the heart of Madison, Indiana. Named after Brigadier General Thomas Turpin Crittenden, who fought for the Union Army during the Civil War. He and his wife, Elizabeth Baldwin (a Madison local) owned the house from 1860 to 1879. We bought the property in 2017 and gutted it to bring it back to two townhouses, as it was originally built. The new design includes 2,200 square feet with 3 en-suite bedrooms (2-King and 1-Queen) and 3.5 bathrooms. Remodeled with modern conveniences, the home's character remains the same such as exposed brick walls, original flooring, and river views. General's Quarters is located a block away from the Ohio River and steps from Bicentennial Park and is located in the heart of all the festivals Madison has to offer throughout the year.

Updated pictures added. The base coat is down. Yay!!!

Day 2: paving the alley and parking spots. We've got a little rain so the plan is to lay the base layer today and then the top layer on Monday to finish it up.

Then next week the hubby gets to dig holes to install the parking signs for each house. Hmmm maybe we should paint the lines and have the house numbers painted on each spot. Hmmm.

I built a new page where it is much easier to see all 3 of our properties and book direct.

You might be wondering why booking direct matters. First, you save money. Booking sites like VRBO and Airbnb now charge the host the fee you used to pay. Additionally these companies tripled the fee. Hosts had to adjust their pricing, so you pay more.

Secondly as a direct booker, especially if you are a returning guest your host may offer free perks like early check-in or out, no charge for additional guests and overall more flexibility.

Pro tip: when searching for a property you like, regardless of location, take the cover image you see on the 3rd party booking site and Google or AI search it. Typically you'll find the direct booking site for the same property.

Keep in mind when you compare prices that you are looking at all costs - nightly rate, taxes, cleaning fee, etc. separately. The 3rd party sites might show you the nightly rate as a preview and not all the costs until you're further in the booking process.

A little bit of searching could save you more than 15% (depending on the host and dates) but compare all the prices in detail.

Big things happening over here. Today we are getting the alley and the parking spots paved. Yahoo!!

The parking area has been expanded so there will be more room too. Still 4 parking spots, but wider and easier to maneuver.

Fog over the river this morning. It's going to warm up this afternoon. Might be the last few warm days until spring.

Last evening we had to run some errands on Main Street. First stop was Greves to pick out a washer and dryer for the Mulberry house. So many options and excellent service.

Then I finally made it into The Book Haven. Such a fun and inspiring space. And lastly picked up these great Madison prints. Off to the frame shop..

We're so fortunate to live in a great town with so many options and great businesses.

We got the 75"smart (aren't they all these day) TV hung. This room is like a movie theater now. I'm so in love!! I hope our guests at the Mulberry house love it too.

Next up, washer and dryer and then new photos to really show her off. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Everything we buy is local - couch from Bear's Furniture, coffee table from Lumber Mill Antiques, the cart in the corner holding the blankets is from River West Antiques and the 2 chairs are from friends. Ok actually the rug was from Amazon, oppsie, most everything is local.

More enhancements at Mulberry. We haven't advertised the basement in our listings because we didn't have any furniture. Now we do. One side is a game room and the other side is a living room. We're waiting for the TV bracket to arrive before we install the 75" TV.

Can't wait to get professional pictures taken to really show potential guests this space for having fun and relaxing.
