Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Scott McElroy
Our Treetop Lodge on Broad Ripple Park is on a 62-acre park in the artsy village of Broad Ripple. We love to travel (Northern California and Italy are our favorites), eat out, listen to great music, enjoy the arts, argue about interior design, and dote on our "covid puppy", Madeline. We have two grown children, one a new firefighter and saving to buy a home, and one married and living in the neighborhood. (!) We regularly talk about how we can get more cake into our lives. I'm a writer and non-profit director, and my work focuses on the intersection of creativity and spirituality. My wife, Danielle, is a medical aestheticism. She focuses on making skin look as beautiful as possible. We love to offer comfort, care, and creativity through the hospitality of our Treetop Lodge. Currently, I've been pondering a quote from Tolkien: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
Why they chose this property
We searched years for this unique home. Its immersed in nature, AND in iconic, artsy Broad Ripple.
What makes this property unique
This is a special property. A quiet retreat in the middle of the city, yet immersed in nature, and decorated in a charming and whimsical lodge style.  We are on a quiet double dead end street, with plenty of parking. Our front yard is 62 acre Broad Ripple Park with trails, free community tennis/pickleball courts just steps from our front door, playground, river views, and public pool. You can enjoy a morning walk in the park, use our kayaks for a drift on the river (which is 1 block away (minimal rental charge)), yet you are minutes away the best local shopping and attractions. Iconic Broad Ripple Village is walkable and less than a mile away. We provide quality towels and bathroom amenities (we have a bidet!), coffee,  and tea and a few surprises.
The home is set in Broad Ripple, an easygoing district known for its local restaurants, low-key cafes, vintage shops, and brewpubs, as well as its iconic music venue, The Vogue.
This property is less than 20 minutes to downtown, 10 minutes to The Fashion Mall at Keystone, 15 minutes from Carmel, 30 minutes to the Speedway, and 20 minutes to Grand Park. Walk, take the Red Line downtown, ride a Lime scooter, take a readily available Uber or Lyft to and from Broad Ripple Village.
