About this property

Wood Homestead Established1833

This Wood Homestead was established in 1833 and is one of the original Homesteads on the Eastside of Indianapolis. The house is fully furnished with all the items like being at home. It has been recently updated and is a nice blend the old with the new. We are located one mile south of Historic Ft. Harrison and the State Park. Roughly 15 minutes from downtown Indianapolis. Plenty of parking and room for RV or Trailer. Lots of extras for the family to enjoy! Firepit, games and more! This house is a NON-SMOKING, vaping, cigar or any other substance in the home. However, there are plenty of areas outside to smoke. We also provide a complimentary bottle of wine for your pleasure for our multiple nite reservations.
