Maddow purchased an ultraprivate cabin tucked away in the woods of Cummington, MA, with her longtime partner, artist Susan Mikula, 66, with whom she has been romantically linked since 1999.
The pair splashed out over $605,000 in 2013 for the six-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom property that sprawls across 3,966 square feet, according to property records.
The two-story farmhouse, which was built in the 1800s, sits on a large plot of land and features multiple cozy fireplaces and wood flooring.
The property is surrounded by lush landscaping, making it the perfect place to seek comfort from the chaos of New York City.
Behind their main home, the couple has a smaller guesthouse that features the same wood-paneled walls and chic stone flooring.

The property has become something of a retreat for Maddow over the years, serving as the ideal spot where she can escape city life—and the stress of her on-air job.
So it should come as no surprise that the TV host wanted to ensure that it provided her with the perfect place to relax, even if that meant erecting a separate structure on the grounds where she felt she could truly unwind.
The structure in question? A bathhouse.
Maddow revealed in a 2014 interview with New York Magazine that she and Mikula came up with the idea for the single-story, outhouse-style building after realizing that they needed more bathrooms in the home.
However, they were afraid to mess with the original architecture of the pre-Civil War abode, so they came up with a very unique alternative.
“The house is symmetrical and historically preserved, and the idea that we would stick something onto it as an addition felt like putting a hat on a horse,” Maddow said at the time.

Maddow and Miluka also once held the keys to a New York City apartment in the West Village.
Instead, the couple turned to architect Nicole Migeon, who designed an incredible wooden, shed-style structure that could be nestled into the grounds of the home—and was modeled after old tobacco-drying barns that were once common in that area.
Inside the bathhouse, which is made from sustainably grown cedar wood, there is a hot tub that has been dug into the ground. Meanwhile, a huge garagelike door serves to open up the space to the outside world—or provide complete privacy and shelter.
Adding to the cozy feel are a chandelier that hangs above the tub and a fireplace that sits to one side of the building, which also boasts a small corner seating nook.
But perhaps Maddow’s favorite element in the space? The TV. Particularly because there is no TV inside the main house.
“We don’t have a TV in the main house but I can seal myself in the bathhouse and watch football really loudly without bothering anybody. It’s very satisfying,” she shared.
Maddow and Miluka also once held the keys to a New York City apartment in the West Village.
The couple purchased the 2,650-square-foot pad for $1.25 million in 2015.
The Big Apple abode features two bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The building dates back to 1898 and faces a humble cobblestone street.
Inside the home, there is a stone-covered fireplace and a marble shower that show off the couple’s chic sense of style.
Maddow and Miluka listed the home for $2.35 million in 2020. It was then widely reported that the home sold for $2.2 million in 2022; however, property records still list Miluka as the owner of the luxe pad.
