Overflowing with charm and amenities. A delightfully cozy older home, and a welcoming and considerate host. My only regret in booking this property was only staying for one night.

Charming house. They thought of everything.

This is a wonderful house. It is clean and quaint and spacious enough for 4 people. Little things indicate the attention to detail -- like not only providing a Keurig and K-cups but also providing sugar/sweetener and creamer.

Perfectly welcoming!

This historical property was perfect & welcoming. My mom & I stayed the night following surgery and it was more than we could have asked for. The property exceeds the description in every way. The beds are comfortable, the couch that makes into a bed is even comfy! The kitchen has everything we needed. The location was safe and close to all that Indy has to offer. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners - they care so much about the property & its history. It made the stay even more memorable. We’d stay there again!!

Fantastic property

Wood Homestead is a wonderful home away from home. It is impeccably clean and comfortable. The owners have done a fantastic job with renovations and updates, as well as maintaining the ample, well manicured outdoor space. The property is quiet and private despite, being located a short distance from a main roadway - which makes it easily accessible. We would absolutely stay again.

Weekend Stop

I was going to watch my daughter compete at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds and took my parents with me. This was perfect for what we needed for a weekend. There are so many things nearby and easy to get to. The house was clean and very charming. We had space for everyone and nice extras like a complimentary bottle of wine was offered. The beds were comfy and additional bedding was available if needed. I would 100% stay again. The only downside was just one bathroom on the main level

Perfect for us

My son and I visit the area to see friends who live in Lawrence. This house is perfect for our needs. It has a large yard and enough space for us to visit. It is easy to get on major roads and there is a lot of shopping nearby. I only rated the location a 4 because I would not let the kids wander around at night. The house is clean overall. However, sometimes we would find a glass or plate that needed to be rewashed because a previous renter didn’t clean it to our standards. The owners are lovely and are very responsive.

Beautiful home, stunning grounds

The Wood Homestead is absolutely gorgeous. The pictures really don’t do it justice. Original hardwood floors, great flow through the main floor. Upstairs bedrooms are so cozy. Kitchen appliances are updated and entire house was meticulously clean. The outdoor space is also fabulous. They have a grill and a firepit which we enjoyed using multiple nights. Beautiful backyard and wooded area my daughter enjoyed exploring. Driveway is as big as promised. TV has basics cable but they offer a nice selection of DVD’s and we enjoyed renting a bunch more 5 minutes down the road at Walmart. Ideally situated-any store you’d need is within a 5-10 minutes drive but you’re tucked away from any main streets here. It really feels like a country getaway with the benefits of still being close to shopping and food options. Internet was very fast and reliable! Hosts were quick with communication, left a great set up from coffee and wine to a fully stocked bathroom and even brought over more firewood for us in case we needed it. We will absolutely be doing our next vacation weekend here ❤️❤️
