About this property

Kit’s Cabin - Log Cabin Retreat in Indianapolis

Welcome to our 150-year-old log cabin, nestled in the heart of Indianapolis! This cozy retreat offers a tranquil getaway while being just minutes away from all modern conveniences and only 20 minutes from downtown.

Step inside and be greeted by the rich history of exposed wooden beams and a large stone fireplace. Our authentic rustic decor and cozy cabin amenities will transport you to a simpler time.

Come experience the magic of Kit’s Cabin, where historic charm meets modern comfort.

The cabin has an open concept main floor with an upstairs loft bedroom and bathroom. Guests enter into the living area, which flows into the dining space and full kitchen. The staircase goes up from the living room into a large open loft bedroom. The bedroom has a King size bed, smart TV, additional seating, closet space and an updated bathroom and shower.

*Please note the stairs to the loft bedroom have a handrail on the wall but no railings. See photo.

There is a separate garage building attached (like a duplex or townhome) with a completely separate entry and no interior connections.

Guests will have access to the entire cabin except for the kitchen pantry closet unless given permission. You are welcome to use the front yard, but not the backyard.

We live only 2 minutes away and will be happy to help you with anything you need! Please don’t hesitate to contact us.

This is a wonderful, safe family community with sidewalks. The cabin is minutes away from every modern convenience. Starbucks, Target, grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, and hospitals are all within 5-6 minutes.

Parking is free. We ask guests to park on the far right side of the driveway.

You are welcome to use the indoor fireplace in the colder months. Fire logs are provided, but please take care to follow Instructions for use in the welcome guide onsite.

We could not have asked for a better experience! Communication with the host was excellent. The cabin had everything we needed and was so cozy for our winter weekend getaway. We’ve already talked about making it a yearly tradition and hope we get to go back next year!

Who knew??!!

Who knew you could stay in a gorgeous rustic log cabin in the heart of the city! Great all season place to stay! Large kitchen and dining area, very comfortable sitting room with lots of room and a wood burning fireplace (too warm for us to use!) Will definitely stay again on our next trip to Indianapolis! Host is very good and easy to work with.

Close to everything!

We had such a lovely stay at this charming cabin! It’s simple, cozy, and truly one-of-a-kind thanks to its unique history—you can feel the character in every detail. It was the perfect place to unplug and unwind. The peaceful surroundings made it easy to relax, and we appreciated how well the space was maintained. If you’re looking for something with more soul than your average stay, this cabin is it. We’d love to come back again!

Honeymoon Retreat

This was a perfect location for us. It was cozy and comfortable. The only suggestion we would have is to provide some kleenex and blankets. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay.

Amazing place to stay

My husband and I brought our child to Indianapolis to visit the children’s museum for his birthday. We stayed in this beautiful little cabin for the weekend. The owner was absolutely amazing to work with. Check in and check out were a breeze, and one of the owners children was the sweetest by leaving a few toys for my son to play with. We will keep this little cabin in mind when we come back to Indianapolis.

Kits Cabin is a MUST

When coming back to Indy this will be the first place I will look for. The cabin is spotless upon arrival and the king size bed and pillows are absolute comfort. The neighborhood is a 10/10 and it’s a short drive to Broad Ripple which is a must to go to. Kim provides the smoothest check in ever. Couldn’t have been any better.

In Town Country

Great place to stay. Love the history of the cabin being first constructed in 1860 and then moved to the new site where it now stands. Decor matches perfectly. I will check for availability here first when staying in Indy.
