Please note there is no land-line telephone. Guests will need to use their cell phones to make calls. Security cameras monitor the outside of the house.

Both bedrooms, kitchen and living room have high-speed USB charging outlets. There is also an eight outlet power strip with one USB low speed charging port, as well as an "octopus" cable that will charge just about any modern USB device.

The house is close to the Carmel Center for the Performing Arts (The Palladium), the Carmel Ice Skadium and Carmel Arts and Entertainment District (Restaurants and Shops), Grand Park (Westfield, IN) is 9 miles away, the home of the Indianapolis Colts (Lucas Oil Stadium) is 15 miles, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is 18 miles, and it's 26 miles to the Indianapolis International Airport. The 18-mile-long Monon Trail (a rail-to-trail path) is less than 1/2 mile away. The U.S. 31 Business corridor is a 5 minute drive.

GREAT LOCATION! GREAT TOWN! Walk, bike, or make a short drive to quality restaurants, shops, drinking establishments, art galleries and studios as well as The Monon Trail, an 18 mile long rails-to-trails path.

VERY CLEAN! One of the most consistent comments our guests make are how pleased they are with the cleanliness of the home. We work hard to keep it that way, and am sure that you too will appreciate it.

CANCELLATION POLICY - if you need to cancel during the "no refund" period, which begins two weeks before you scheduled arrival date, we will attempt to re-rent for those days. If we do, you will get you money back for each day the new renter stays. This applies only if you've made all payments and have returned the signed rental agreement.

Please note that for reservations over 29 days, 50% will be refunded if cancelled at least 30 days prior to check-in date, and 100% if cancelled at least 60 days prior to check-in date.

TRAVELER FRIENDLY EARLY CHECK-IN AND LATE CHECK-OUTS. While we may not always be able to accommodate these requests, the vast majority of the time we can. As long as another guest is not departing the morning of your arrival, or arriving the afternoon of your departure, we're happy to do this.

It is a very quiet and beautiful space for 2 couples to enjoy private times and time to interact with each other. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals and it is in neighborhood with sidewalks so it's pleasant to walk. It also has a nice deck with a good view of the pond.

Beautiful Carmel house, close to everything.

This beautiful home is tucked into a quiet neighborhood in central Carmel. The back deck overlooks a pond, and was screened with shrubbery from other properties. One could easily walk to all that downtown Carmel has to offer in terms of culture, dining and events. We felt very comfortable here, and would recommend it for other couples. With two bedrooms and baths, it would be perfect for two couples traveling together.

Perfect home away from home

We were in town for a ball tournament at Grand Park. The house was close to the ball fields, the neighborhood was very cute and the house was even cuter. There's a pond in the back yard stocked with fish and my son had a blast fishing. The Carmel farmers market was within walking distance as well as many other shops. We will definitely try to stay here again next time.

Wonderful stay with great hosts

Our family had a great stay at this home. The house is well located, clean, nicely updated, and safe for little kids. We had some travel delays/changes over the holiday and the hosts went above and beyond our expectations in understanding our situation and were incredibly kind and communicative (even on Christmas). Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home! We hope to be back soon.

About the host

Hosted by VRBO 978856, LLC

Host profile image
Married Couple who moved to Carmel and love it! She is a retired music educator, he is a U.S. Army veteran who has also worked in private industry and civilian government service. Both enjoy the large variety of activities that Carmel has to offer without a "big city" feel.

Why they chose this property

While close enough to Indianapolis to make taking in some of the great events in Indy convenient, Carmel has a bit of a small-town feel but with a lively and inviting "big city" amenities, including several playhouses, a large range of restaurants, festivals, night-life, and all just a mile or so away from our property. The garage is heated in the winter so your car and you will be warm when coming or going.

We favored this property in particular because of the small pond behind it. Ducks, geese, turtles, herons and occasionally hawks are common visitors. In the warmer months one can relax on the deck listening to the bullfrogs...and find that your troubles and tension just melt away.

What makes this property unique

Heated garage (winter months only). Outlet in garage provides 240 volts for EV charging. Great open floor plan, everything is on one floor. Owners are a few minutes away to resolve any maintenance or other needs. Large deck (new as of August 2023) behind the house is just 30 feet from a small pond where ducks, herons, turtles, hummingbirds, geese and hawks can be seen. A fishing rod and accessories are provided for anglers. There is a gas grill on the deck. The back deck is shaded in the evenings during the warmer months.
