Absolutely wonderful stay we will be coming back ! Very relaxing
Everything went smoothly from check in throughout our stay.
Aaron was great with the communication. I really appreciated that. It made our arrival easy. Everything was as pictured on the site.
House is clean and spacious and entertaining. Enjoyed the hot tub, the large bathroom and the fire pit by the pond. It was a very relaxing and inviting stay for the whole family.
Family visits once a year from Las Vegas and this time we wanted to try something very different. Safe to say my family enjoyed it from kids to the elderly. Teens enjoyed the hot tub. Everything was amazing and the host is very responsive they give you a welcome home feeling and not 3rd party host who do not care. Location is great and the scenery was the cherry on top. Thank you we have found our place to visit yearly!
This property has lots of space for everyone. Beds were very comfortable. Our grandson loved seeing the horses near the house and the geese and their babies by the lake.Aaron was very quick to respond when we reached out. We enjoyed our stay.

Great property, would highly recommend! We enjoyed our stay and would come back again.
We decided to get away for a night to celebrate our anniversary. It was a great place for the occasion.
Great setup for kids and great fishing! House was as advertised and the host communicated well. Highly recommend!!
Place had an awesome view. It is listed as not much nearby, but actually has a gas station just up the hill if you need anything. Not a huge living space, but i'd spend the time outdoors if I were you. Its worth it. Excellent response time from the owner as well.
Perfect place to visit Indy antique stores. Lots of rooms and space to visit in the evening.
We weren’t there long as we were visiting family in the area but the location was beautiful, house was clean and well accessorized. Comfortable and lovely.
Very comfortable, homey place. Grill, fire pit and hot tub were perfect! Bed was comfortable and bathrooms were perfect for getting ready! Cute game room in the garage. Back yard was refreshing to hangout and relax. Country home, but close to everything! Everything met our needs, and host was great with communicating.
The kids had a funny little getaway adventure on the property. The lake and creek was neat to explore. Lots of seating options outside. The house looks small on the outside, but the inside is spacious and lots of spaces for everyone to sleep. Kids also liked the arcade in the garage. Would love to stay here again.
Our group travels to Indy every August to serve from our food trucks at the incredible Gen Con downtown. 4 REALLY long/hot/crazy days, so we look for houses where we can relax and chill for the few free hours we have every night. This house fit the bill perfectly - plenty of beds/rooms for us (as my husband and I are the only "couple", we don't make our staff share beds!) and the outside amenities (picnic table, fire pit, pond to fish) were just what we needed. The house was properly equipped as far as kitchen & bathroom, and was just right for us. Thank you so much!! If we don't grow in numbers next year, we'll be booking again!
We were in town for a baseball tournament. This was a great place to come back an unwind after the games with our family and friends. The host were amazing and made everything very simple which is what I needed with a hectic few days of baseball schedule. We would stay here again!
Lots of area outside for activities. Great firepit area perfect for S’mores and relaxing. Convenient to interstate and within easy distance to downtown Indianapolis for things like The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, Lucas Oil Stadium, Victory Field (Triple-A baseball), Indianapolis Zoo. Add on of visiting horses, donkeys, & other animals was great for children. Overall a great value for a family getaway.
We traveled to Indy for the Solar Eclipse and were very impressed with the convenience of the property. It had everything we could need and more to have the perfect vacation! The hosts were easily accessible for any concerns if needed. Highly recommend this listing.
