We stayed at the Tidewater Inn for two nights to celebrate my wife's birthday. Victoria, the owner, seems to have thought of every detail to make her guests stay a pleasant one.

This is a delightful and comfortable inn on the outskirts of Madison, with lovely gardens and a hostess who goes to some trouble to ensure that guests are happy. Breakfasts are substantial and delicious, and recommendations for local restaurants included making the... more
