This was an amazing property and the host was the best!He was very helpful and even helped setting up a surprise for my wife for our anniversary.I will definitely be staying here again anytime we stay in Indy!Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cute little house thats close to the city but feels like country.
Amazing property! We had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back. The owner was very responsive and clearly has an eye for detail, in all his rentals. The kitchen cabinets were beautiful and added a special touch we really loved.

Kids, loved the space. Clean and easy. Comfy beds
Awesome little property for our family trip. My daughter loved the upstairs loft. She enjoyed being able to view the horse's. Host is easy to contact. Very nice stay.
Great set up would love to come back for a longer stay
Great house great views great communication from the owner.
Property is beautiful and the host was very accommodating. We loved our stay!
We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful farmhouse cabin! The place was peaceful and exactly what we needed to relax and recharge. The host was fantastic—super friendly and quick to respond to any questions, which made everything so easy. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed, including a hot tub that we definitely took full advantage of. We grilled fillets on the charcoal grill (something we hadn’t done in forever), and later made a great fire to relax by at night. The full moon made everything feel even more perfect. We took a walk around the farm, soaked up the quiet surroundings, and checked out the animals, which was so much fun. Best of all, we spent real quality time together—great conversations, lots of laughs, and just an all-around wonderful time. One of the highlights of the trip was how close the cabin was to downtown Indianapolis. It was just a short 25-minute drive to see Kevin Hart perform at the Murat Theatre, which made the stay even more memorable. This was such a special place, and we’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Can’t wait to come back whenever we need a stay in Indy!
Really cute and comfortable cabin but the farm itself is the real selling point! It was so peaceful, with the wonderful animals and great walking path around the property. However, some things may be better for the younger adult crowd—the shower is deep and hard to climb into, and the stairs up to the loft are steep and higher than normal.
