About the host
Hosted by VRBO 978856, LLC
Married Couple who moved to Carmel and love it! She is a retired music educator, he is a U.S. Army veteran who has also worked in private industry and civilian government service. Both enjoy the large variety of activities that Carmel has to offer without a "big city" feel.
Why they chose this property
While close enough to Indianapolis to make taking in some of the great events in Indy convenient, Carmel has a bit of a small-town feel but with a lively and inviting "big city" amenities, including several playhouses, a large range of restaurants, festivals, night-life, and all just a mile or so away from our property. The garage is heated in the winter so your car and you will be warm when coming or going.
We favored this property in particular because of the small pond behind it. Ducks, geese, turtles, herons and occasionally hawks are common visitors. In the warmer months one can relax on the deck listening to the bullfrogs...and find that your troubles and tension just melt away.
What makes this property unique
Heated garage (winter months only). Outlet in garage provides 240 volts for EV charging. Great open floor plan, everything is on one floor. Owners are a few minutes away to resolve any maintenance or other needs. Large deck (new as of August 2023) behind the house is just 30 feet from a small pond where ducks, herons, turtles, hummingbirds, geese and hawks can be seen. A fishing rod and accessories are provided for anglers. There is a gas grill on the deck. The back deck is shaded in the evenings during the warmer months.
