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, 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.

Perfect for our visit to Carmel

This is the second time we've stayed at this house. It is centrally located in Carmel, on a quiet street, with a pond in back. We were here to visit family. We slept well and enjoyed the geese, ducks, and other birds on the pond. John is a pleasure to rent from, easy to communicate with when needed.

Peaceful and quiet

The location of the house is in a quiet neighborhood near the center of Carmel. It was close to the Christmas Market which was the reason for our visit. John was very responsive to questions and replied in a timely fashion. We especially appreciated all the places to charge our various devices!

My family has stayed at several VRBO’s all over. This is one of the best! Great communication with the owners! The location was perfect…nice, quiet neighborhood. The pond actually had fish in it! The beds, and pillows are very comfortable. The house is stocked with all the necessities…including some extras!

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.
