About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A beautiful award winning Bungalow in the Broad Ripple Village

My charming home was selected for the 2012 Historic home tour! It was also featured in a two- page spread in the Indy Star! You’ll love my place as it is an original bungalow/cottage that Broad Ripple is known for. It was completed before the start of World War II and still retains many of its beautiful and original features. When you approach my home, you will see the darling cottage-style home enclosed by mature landscape and cozy front porch surrounded by a white picket fence.

When you enter, you will be greeted by the original Indiana limestone fireplace, original hardwoods, repurposed original kitchen cabinets, sweet dining room, full bathroom with it’s original tile and two great size bedrooms. I have tried to maintain the integrity of the original home; only adding my artistic touch!

I like to call my downstairs a private bed and breakfast! This is a rare treasure in Broad Ripple! The entrance to the space is right off of the kitchen. As you walk down the stairs, you will be comforted with a spacious family room complete with a fireplace and a custom built bar made by yours truly. The large bedroom has brand new carpet, a beautiful hand made wood wall and smart TV. The half bath and laundry room are connected for your convenience. You will have all the amenities you need from a mini refrigerator, bar sink, microwave and coffee maker.

My favorite part of my home is what I call, “The Sanctuary.” You will find the ultimate outdoor courtyard experience right in my private backyard. It is all about relaxation and beauty, groomed with gorgeous and colorful landscape! It has a hand-crafted peaceful water fountain embedded in a stonewall structure, a luxurious fire pit accompanied by 6 comfortable chairs. This space also includes an al fresco outdoor dining space beneath an intricately-built and mindfully-lit pergola. Adjacent, five hanging basket swings are suspended for your ultimate relaxation experience. One will also enjoy an outdoor theatre experience with a 70" smart tv!

My home is located in one of the most hip and happening cultural districts of Indianapolis, the Broad Ripple Village. It is an eclectic neighborhood with award winning independent restaurants, boutique-style shopping, family friendly parks, fun nightlife and steps from the Monon Trail, an 18 mile trail popular for walking and bicycling.

My home is wonderful for anyone; family with kids, business travelers and groups!

Beautiful Bungalow

Carly was a fantastic host! She was very responsive and kind. She checked in on us throughout our stay and made sure we felt comfortable. The house was very tastefully decorated. The bedrooms were very comfortable between the bedding and pillows. We loved having the outdoor area to hangout and eat our meals. I would definitely stay here again!

Very well maintained and cute property. We enjoyed the outdoor space with the tv, grill, picnic table and chair swings. The front porch was also a nice place to sit. The beds are comfortable and the water pressure in the bathrooms is great. The location is a quiet neighborhood that we found convenient to get to any location in Indianapolis. We were there to attend a Fever game and it was quite easy to get to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Carly (the hostess) is so very nice and quick to answer questions and offer suggestions. You should definitely have breakfast at Mama’s and enjoy the many breweries in the area. We had a great stay and all agreed we would come back. The listing does say there is a hot tub but we didn’t see one - that is the only thing I found inaccurate. All told, 10/10 stay!

Swifties in Broad Ripple

We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful property! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the design and decor—every detail felt thoughtfully curated, making it such a visually stunning and comfortable space. The house was even better than the photos, with gorgeous furnishings, cozy spots to relax, and everything we needed for an unforgettable stay. We were in town for the Taylor Swift concert, and the owner went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. She left personalized touches and little surprises that made the whole weekend feel magical. It was clear she truly cared about making our stay memorable. If you’re looking for a stylish, welcoming place with a fantastic host, this is it. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again. Highly recommend!

Perfect Butler Graduation Weekend!

This property provided the perfect backdrop to celebrate my daughter's graduation weekend. Every detail is accounted for making for a charming and cozy retreat. From personalized welcome gifts and directions for use of tvs, fireplace, etc., to the comfortable beds (with water bottles placed on the side stands) and the lovely outdoor space, Carly has created an oasis. She also checked in via text to make sure we had everything we needed, and was prompt to confirm any question we had. I highly recommend this property. We will use it again ourselves when back in Indy. Thank you, Carly!

Fabulous time in Broad Ripple!

We had a great time staying at this property! It was a super convenient location for us to get to Butler to see our son and to get to Broad Ripple's fantastic shops and restaurants. Carly's place is beautiful, clean and had everything we needed! She was very attentive and available if we needed anything and even left us some AMAZING popcorn and other treats! I would highly recommend staying here! She made it so easy.

Teen granddaughter’s fall break visit to Indianapolis

My family and I were in town to visit some friends of our teenage granddaughter. We had the good fortune to select this charming cottage home in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis. It was so very cozy and welcoming. This home has a beautifully decorated backyard for relaxing. It also has an entertainment room in the basement with a large tv and bar. The kids had a great time playing card games down stairs while it rained. Our gracious host, Carly provided snacks and soft drinks for our teen and her friends. Carly was very communicative and responsive to all our questions and concerns. We would definitely like to stay here on our next visit.

Adorable House

Came for our 6th Gen Con and this was the best VRBO we've had in 6 years. Carly does an amazing job on every angle. The house was straight up magical. Great beds, really good water pressure, solid tables (could use one more! I am a board gamer though most people would be ultra pleased.) The neighborhood is cozy, the kind of place that coming of age movies were filmed in the 90s. Its also close to literally dozens of places to eat. We ate at 317 Burger and Flatwater at Carly's recommendation and they were incredible. I hope none of you book this place before me next year because if I have my way my crew will stay here every year for Gen Con. Truly a special owner and an excellent property.

Butler Graduation Weekend

Carly is an amazing host and has created the perfect vacation get away! Her house is charming and immaculate The front porch and back patio are perfect for hanging out with a cup of coffee or a cocktail. We had breakfast on the back patio and then dessert around the fire. Carly is an excellent communicator. She checked in daily and was available for questions at all times. The neighborhood is quiet but close to Broadripple. Carly added little touches to welcome our family and our graduate. I wish we could have stayed longer!

One of the best VRBO experiences I’ve had

Lovely home and a host who really cares, and prepares! Not a single negative …. Would definitely stay here again. The back yard is as enticing as the photos. Perfect spot for a family gathering. The house was spotless and well organized. The welcoming gifts, including wine and a giant tub of gourmet flavored popcorn, were much appreciated. This is how all VRBO owners should aspire to operate.
