Historic Eve House

Welcome to the Historic Eve House, a charming retreat built in 1798 by William Eve, nestled in the heart of Madison, Virginia. This fully renovated historic home offers a unique blend of old-world charm and modern comfort. Designed for relaxation, the Eve offers well-appointed areas to unwind, including private bedrooms and a cozy library. The spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, and private back patio were thoughtfully designed with socializing and entertainment in mind. Your Madison adventure begins at this historic house. Enjoy the convenience of smart TVs, WiFi, laundry, and a full kitchen with everything you need to make grand meals. Enjoy the outdoor space on the porch rockers or take in the surrounding gardens while you barbecue and lounge on the expansive back patio. Play games, solve puzzles, and read books from the well-stocked entertainment closet. We're happy to assist with any questions while you stay at our house. The entire house is yours for the duration of your stay, including the backyard and patio. The Eve also has its own parking lot just for the house. Access the Eve through the keypad on the porch door. A Ring cam is installed for security purposes and so you can reach us directly in a pinch. Reach us any time of day through the Airbnb app. In case of emergency, you can get us directly through the Ring camera on the front porch. The Eve's Main Street location grants easy access to nearby Shenandoah National Park, including Old Rag Mountain (23 minutes) and White Oak Canyon (22 minutes) trailheads. Cast your line into any number of nearby trout streams. This area is an antiquer's dream! Virginia antiquing maps are provided for our guests. And if you enjoy history, the Eve is about 30 minutes from several US presidential homes and retreats, including James Madison's Montpelier, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, and Herbert Hoover's Rapidan Camp.
