Beautiful home in excellent location
We absolutely loved our stay here! Could not have asked for a better Broad Ripple location, close to everything and located in a nice chill little neighborhood right by the park. We really loved the home. A really pretty place with lots of great details, it was a cozy stay with everything we needed. We’d definitely stay again!

Cozy (but not tiny)
Spacious with loads of natural light. Beautifully furnished with super comfy beds. Fenced yard, ample parking. Attentive hosts and very reasonable checkout expectations (don't leave garbage laying around, basically).

Great House and Experience
This is a great home in a friendly neighborhood. Lots of charm with all the comforts you need and want. The fully fenced yard was perfect for our dog, while the screened front porch was nice for morning coffee. Convenient digital access and solid host communication made for an easy, stress-free experience.

Loved this Cute Bungalow!
I loved this cute 2 bedroom bungalow! My wife, son, & Golden Retrievers came back to visit family & feel lucky to have found this house in our old neighborhood. Also, it’s just a 1-2 minutes driving distance from the heart of Broad Ripple.
It was the perfect size & had all of the amenities that we needed. It was also super nice to have a fenced in back yard, as well as a deck. The screened in front porch was also a nice bonus.
I definitely recommend this house & location.

Cozy Home
We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! House is in a quiet neighborhood close to a lot of restaurants and other local amenities. Property is very clean, beds are heavenly to sleep on, the property manager is very responsive and makes sure you have all the information you need and available to answer any questions should you have them during your stay. My husband had a medical emergency while we were there and they were very kind and reached out to make sure he was doing ok. Would highly recommend this property to anyone for a long or short term stay.
