One of the best experiences

We had an absolutely amazing getaway here! The house is in wonderful condition and decorated beautifully. My kids adored the cats who came to visit, they were the sweetest and so friendly and really made us feel at home. The house had everything you could possibly think of, there was even coffee creamer in the fridge (a must have for me, I was so surprised)! The host was super helpful and quick to respond. She gave us some great suggestions for food and we were happily surprised with each. The swim spa was clean and in great condition and was the best way to spend our evenings. We would book this stay again in a heartbeat and wouldn’t change a thing about it.

November Concert Getaway

Absolutely stunning property that will not dissapoint, love historical building and small town vibes and this had both going on, everything was great and the cat who greeted us when we arrived and hung out with us when using the Spa that evening was even more of a special moment, already planning on coming again when we have more time to spend. Nice little restaurant Ricky's Pancake House right in Jamestown to grab a quick bite to eat, nothing fancy but great portions price and service. 5 Star VRBO all the way, thanks Lena

Lovely surprise in the country!

Wonderful host and property. This was our “home base” for Family Weekend at DePauw University. We didn’t take full advantage of everything the property has to offer and we will definitely be back. The host, Lena, is super easy to work with. The house is cute, clean, and beautiful. I highly recommend it if you are in the area!

Like going back in time….

It was my husband & I & our grown daughter, & the house was perfect for the 3 of us. It’s an amazing property & decorated perfectly to make you feel you have gone back in time, yet still offers all the modern amenities one needs. The owners have gone above & beyond to make sure you have everything you might need. The house sits on a beautiful property & is very comfortable & quiet. We LOVED IT! My only wish is that we could have stayed longer. Definitely a 5 star place!

Wonderful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The home furnishings and decor were fitting of the description, 1830 Homestead. And the yard, so beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed sitting outside in the shade by the swim spa and just relaxing (while my 5yr old great niece enjoyed swimming) and then as it started to get dark we sat and watched the fireflies! Absolutely wonderful stay and would highly recommend!

Pictures don’t do it justice!

The barn & loft is beautiful! Bed was super comfy, kitchen & living room was nice. It rained while we were there so our plans were cancelled. So we stayed at the loft most of the time. Such a relaxing stay! I’d highly recommend it to anyone. The host was helpful in answering my questions before our stay.

Hendricks County Barn

We loved the coziness of the property and the special amenities (snacks, drinks). We did have a bit of an issue with the property manager not realizing we had a reservation (VRBO did not send a reminder), but the issue was quickly resolved and did not affect our stay. It was somewhat difficult to find the property, especially in the dark. We followed the directions in the communication, but it was not accurate. Overall, very nice place to stay! Would stay again.

Mini Honeymoon

We absolutely loved our stay in the loft! It is so prettily decorated and the perfect getaway for a couple that wants to relax. The hosts were the best, we struggled to log on to the wifi and even were in an accident while on our trip and the hosts were quick to communicate and help us in any way they could!

At Home in a Barn Loft

The Barn Loft was beautiful, inside and out. The open living space was done in a farmhouse style, quite lovely. The king size bed was cozy and comfortable. The living room and dining area were big enough for several guests. The kitchen and snacks were well stocked as were a variety of drinks in the fridge. The bath included both a tub/shower for guests. The hosts were readily available and very nice. I recommend this stay for a quiet get-away for anyone. There is even a second bedroom if needed.

Wonderful Stay!

The barn/loft was beautiful! Easy to get to and instructions were clear. The swim spa, fire pit, and grill were amazing! We had a couple interactions with the hosts and they were very kind. The inside is absolutely stunning, cozy, and decorated perfectly! We went to Zionsville, Danville, Bridgetown, Rockville and some other small towns. I do wish the door to the upstairs had a lock just for peace of mind overnight, but we felt extremely safe staying there!! Thanks for a wonderful getaway for our anniversary. I would highly recommend this place!
