We stayed for a month while visiting from Texas and this home was exactly what we needed. It had all we needed to be comfortable and then some. Great location and Gabe was so easy to work with. All in all, it was a stress free process and made our trip so much more enjoyable

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).

Super cute home located in a quiet neighborhood. Under 5 mins from target, walmart and a mix of restaurants. Perfect location to be away from everything but near everything. We are a family of 3 and everything was perfect for us. We loved having our own driveway! Street parking is acceptable as well. Driving past the dog park everyday was a fun bonus!

Having your own driveway can definitely be a plus — and we love that the daily drive by the dog park added a little extra joy to your stay! We’d be thrilled to host you again anytime.
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.

Thank you for your glowing review, Dena! We strive to make every stay memorable, and we're glad to hear we succeeded with yours. We hope to welcome you back for another fantastic stay in the future.
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.

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.
