Stayed October 14-20 2025 for the World Food Championship event, which was held at the Fairgrounds. Property location and the neighborhood was perfect. Property was very clean and you felt very safe. Good walking distance to bars and restaurants. Decor was welcoming and the whimsical animals theme was very entertaining. We will return next year for another stay.
Stayed for ball tourney. Great bungalow, right on the walking trail and walking distance to everything you need in the “village”. Owners amazing to deal with.
The location was perfect for our weekend in Indy - easy walk to Broad Ripple and quick drive to Butler and downtown. The house was clean and cozy and had everything we needed, and our 5-year-old loved the animal-themed decor :)
We were so happy with our stay. This was our first VRBO experience and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The house was so clean and well stocked, the rooms were super cozy and the decor was on point. Would definitely book again!
We enjoyed our weekend stay at this cute cozy home. Great place to stay to visit Butler students. Conveniently located near Broad Ripple. Great communication from the owners made it super easy.
We loved our stay at this adorable home! Well cared for—the house was clean and cozy. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area while still having a peaceful retreat to come back to. Everything was just as described, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect spot for our trip. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
We had a cozy stay at this little house. It was so clean, check-in so easy and hosts were super responsive. Kitchen had everything we needed, AC was great, showers and water pressure excellent. Comfy beds, plenty of towels and two tv areas. We loved being so close to Broad Ripple and it was soooo nice that they had two bikes for us to use. We would happily stay here again!
The place exceeded our expectations. Super cute, clean and the back patio was perfect. Super close to a running trail and a quiet and safe neighborhood.

That's great that you were able to use the Monon trail and our outdoor space! Thanks again Elizabeth!
Loved our stay here. The neighborhood is excellent, easy walk to. Broad Ripple. Very convenient if u have a student at Butler University. House was also clean and as described.
Outstanding hosts, outstanding home away from home!
Kathy and Ben are standout hosts. Their generosity, prompt, thorough communication and willingness to accommodate us was evident end-to-end. We welcome the chance to return to their lovely abode!
This place was very cute, clean, and had everything you needed. It was just as pictured. Nice little outdoor area, and sun porch. They also had games for the kids, and all the basics needed - coffee, paper products, shampoo/conditioner, plenty of blankets, etc. The owners were friendly and communicative. We'd stay again. Only real complaint was the driveway is very narrow and on a semi busy road, and the floors are really squeaky so you could hear where everyone was - neither are a deal breaker.
Location can’t be beat if you love a stroll on the Monon and the Broad Ripple area. We enjoyed our stay in this quaint adorable blue house. Hosts were great with communication.
Loved everything about our stay! We were there for a baseball tournament and we had all of the comforts of home plus much more. The animal themed decor was adorable and very well done. We both enjoyed our own bedrooms, bathrooms and have laundry and a kitchen. Would definitely stay here again. Quiet neighborhood. Wonderful communication by the hosts! Thanks you for an amazing stay.

We are always a phone call or message away when our guests need anything!
