About the host

Hosted by Claudia Appel

Host profile image
Why have a generic experience when you can experience the city on a more personal level. We are always available to offer suggestions on things to do, etc. Having rented from VRBO ourselves, we understand what it takes to offer a unique property and look forward to hosting you.

Why they chose this property

WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT:
This is the ONLY property on VRBO that is located in Indianapolis' premier residential & retail area making it safe and highly accessible. The Cottage is nestled within an award winning garden on an acre lot, yet is still minutes from downtown and suburbs.
THE EXPERIENCE:
The cottage is comparable to a hotel junior suite, the cottage offers amenities (seasonal linens & signature toiletries) and an unmatched client experience within a garden setting.

What makes this property unique

Some of the comments we've received have been how tranquil and relaxing it is to unwind in our guest house. The gardens are in bloom year-round and depending on the season, the display of flowers varies. Whatever time of year, it is a special place to be. When you're ready to explore, there are many big city cultural attractions nearby.
