A few kind words from our guests *"We loved the cute fenced in back yard. It was ideal if you have your dog with you or just a great space to hang out and barbecue. The house was lovely. It was very clean and everything was easy to find as it was clearly labeled. The kitchen was fully equipped. The street itself was peaceful. The location was perfect with lots of restaurants and things to do. Communication was top notch. Thank you for a lovely stay!"*
*"Great location! We loved that we were close enough to be able to walk to a couple local breweries; yet off the busier roads enough that the home and fence yard were quiet, private, and peaceful. We would definitely stay at here again on our next trip to Indy!"*
*'If you are looking to stay close to the Indiana State Fairgrounds, this is the place for you! We loved the 1 mile proximity to the Mecum Auction. Nice quiet neighborhood. We felt safe. We enjoyed the front porch and our dogs loved the backyard. Great host. Excellent communication. Highly recommend."*
