Our thoughtfully designed home includes the following rooms with sleeping accommodations with memory foam mattresses in two spaces.

This is the 4th room that we use for recreation. Technically it is not a bedroom as there is no egress to outside of the house.

This room is a shared space with the upstairs bathroom off of this room. Outdoor - Relaxing outdoor space under covered area with lights, seating, a firepit, and a BB!Q grill.
Our guests have access to the entire house and garage with the exception of our supply closet which is locked. Bikes, helmets, and bike locks are located in the garage for guest use. Please use bikes at your own risk but we advise that you use the provided helmets and follow all traffic laws for your safety. Stay Safe!
We (Ben and Kat) are usually available by phone if you have any questions at all. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything. We want you to enjoy your stay as much as absolutely possible!
Broad Ripple is roughly 30 Minutes to the airport, and 20 minutes to downtown Indy. The convenient and popular Redline rapid transit bus system will take you from Broad Ripple to downtown and back along College Avenue. We also provide a couple of cruiser bikes you can use and there is the Monon Trail less than a block away for miles miles of riding!
Something to note: Our home is an older bungalow with original hardwood flooring that does make some noise when walking around. While most find this a charming characteristic of the home, we have had a guest mention this to us so we want to make sure everyone knows before booking! Quiet time after 10 p.m.

The location was perfect for our weekend in Indy - easy walk to Broad Ripple and quick drive to Butler and downtown. The house was clean and cozy and had everything we needed, and our 5-year-old loved the animal-themed decor :)
We enjoyed our weekend stay at this cute cozy home. Great place to stay to visit Butler students. Conveniently located near Broad Ripple. Great communication from the owners made it super easy.
We loved our stay at this adorable home! Well cared for—the house was clean and cozy. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area while still having a peaceful retreat to come back to. Everything was just as described, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot for our trip. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
Location can’t be beat if you love a stroll on the Monon and the Broad Ripple area. We enjoyed our stay in this quaint adorable blue house. Hosts were great with communication.
We loved staying in Broad Ripple. It was just down the street from our son’s townhouse which made it so convenient. The house was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for our weekend in Indy!
We had a wonderful stay in Broad Ripple. The home was clean and ready for us to when we arrived. The location was perfect for our needs. We had a nice walk to the village and we even enjoyed using the bikes for a ride in the Monon trail. The air conditioning was perfect for our summer stay.
House was clean and welcoming. Beds were comfortable. Downstairs bathroom-toilet, sink, and shower, was very small, but clean. Location was very close to family, dining, and bike trail.
We had a great time at this house. It was perfect for our family of 5 while we moved 2 of our kids into college. The house had everything we needed and was spotless. We definitely would stay here again and highly recommend this house. Perfect location as well.
The property was clean and larger than expected. An adorable house in an adorable neighborhood. Wonderful communication with the hosts. We'll definitely be back.
We stayed at this adorable house for 3 nights while visiting our daughter who is attending grad school at UIndy. The house is in the perfect location to see our daughter in SoBro, visit the restaurants and bars in Broad Ripple and take a quick ride to downtown Indy. The house was very clean and the decor is adorable!
I love the location of this home. If we had had more time, we would have loved to bike on the trail. The decor is cute and our kids liked the board games that were available. I wasn't sure about the kitchen at first. It is small. But we had everything we needed.
Great proximity to the Monon bike trail and BRIC's ice cream shop
Very cute house with historic charm. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen is small, but we didn't mind as we only used it for beverages and keeping leftovers cold in the frig from dinners out. The bathroom is nice with two sinks on the main floor. The basement is slightly musty and small. We didn't use it at all because there were only two of us staying in the house. It was nice to have bikes available for use on the monon bike trail. It's only a block to the East. Great location if you want to spend time in Broadripple. Easy walking distance to many restaurants.
Stayed for ball tourney. Great bungalow, right on the walking trail and walking distance to everything you need in the “village”. Owners amazing to deal with.
Stayed October 14-20 2025 for the World Food Championship event, which was held at the Fairgrounds. Property location and the neighborhood was perfect. Property was very clean and you felt very safe. Good walking distance to bars and restaurants. Decor was welcoming and the whimsical animals theme was very entertaining. We will return next year for another stay.
We were so happy with our stay. This was our first VRBO experience and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The house was so clean and well stocked, the rooms were super cozy and the decor was on point. Would definitely book again!
