    We had such a wonderful stay at the Pink Elephant Cottage—this place truly exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated, with charming details that make it feel cozy yet unique. It’s clear a lot of care has gone into creating a space that feels both relaxing and memorable.The space was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and we loved how peaceful and quiet the surroundings were—perfect for unwinding. The outdoor area was another highlight, offering a great spot to enjoy morning coffee or just take in the atmosphere.Communication with the host was smooth and friendly, and they made sure we had all the information we needed ahead of our stay. The Pink Elephant Cottage is a gem. We’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy, stylish, and relaxing getaway—and we’d love to come back ourselves!

    This cottage was perfect for our long weekend in Indy. The cottage was beautifully decorated, very clean and comfortable. Its location in a manicured yard and neighborhood was especially appealing to me as a yard work lover. I would love to return and see this place in the summer and fall. We don’t typically cook while on vacation so I didn’t check out those amenities but everything else we needed was available. We would happily stay here again.

    We stayed for the weekend and it’s such a beautiful property! We just went through a hard time in our family but our son had a football tournament. It provided us so much peace in the middle of hardest time in our lives. Only thing I wish was more change of sheets. (I was bleeding and so worried I would get it on the sheets, so I slept on top of towels I brought) but I do feel like if I communicated that they would have given it. Would definitely return again if we are back in the area again!

    This was hands down the nicest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in! The cottage was super cute, spotless, and had everything I could possibly need to feel right at home. The owners went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable — every little detail was thought of. It truly felt like a home away from home… I honestly wish I could just move in! Highly, highly recommend this wonderful place.

    The Pink Elephant Cottage was absolutely perfect. It was a piece of paradise in a beautiful part of Indy nestled amongst a delightful garden and underneath gorgeous, old trees and just a couple minutes to 465 and Meridian. Our dog loved the back patio as well as the neighborhood, too, especially the sweet dog post with treats. Our time there was way too short, so we cannot wait to go back.

    The cottage has a beautiful setting in peaceful neighborhood with old trees. You feel one with nature, in fact a deer roamed through the yard on Sunday morning. The cottage is furnished very nicely and is comfortable. Claudia was very responsive and recommended some great restaurants. We will stay here again when we are back in Indy.

    Upon arrival Steve and Claudia the owners greeted us, showed us the gorgeous grounds and cottage, and were available if we needed them. The Pink Elephant Cottage is private, clean, well organized, comfortable, nicely decorated, and has many extras in amenities that you would not expect. It was extremely hot during our stay but we were able to adjust the AC and dehumidifier to make the cottage very livable with a good night's sleep. The location is perfect in a nice neighborhood with easy access to downtown Indianapolis and the surrounding nearby towns. One of the nicest Vrbo places and experience we have had in the United States! We hope to be back in the future.

    This place is absolutely AMAZING and gorgeous . You will not regret staying here. Everything you would need, they supply. My daughter absolutely loved the coffee bar. It is in a safe neighborhood but just minutes from all things Indianapolis, Zionsville, Carmel, etc. It really is in a perfect location.

    The host was very professional until three days into the five-night stay, when the toilet was flushed, sewage was expelled into the shower drain, the bathroom became inoperable, and the smell was overwhelming. If the host had responded immediately to the emergency and taken action, there may have been a different outcome. Hotel options were very limited because a five-state Regional Gymnastics Championship was scheduled that weekend. The host refunded less than the 2 days that the property was unable to be occupied. Better compensation should have occurred.
