My charming home was selected for the 2012 Historic home tour! It was also featured in a two- page spread in the Indy Star! You’ll love my place as it is an original bungalow/cottage that Broad Ripple is known for. It was completed before the start of World War II and still retains many of its beautiful and original features. When you approach my home, you will see the darling cottage-style home enclosed by mature landscape and cozy front porch surrounded by a white picket fence.
>When you enter, you will be greeted by the original Indiana limestone fireplace, original hardwoods, repurposed original kitchen cabinets, sweet dining room, full bathroom with it’s original tile and two great size bedrooms. I have tried to maintain the integrity of the original home; only adding my artistic touch!

I like to call my downstairs a private bed and breakfast! This is a rare treasure in Broad Ripple! The entrance to the space is right off of the kitchen. As you walk down the stairs, you will be comforted with a spacious family room complete with a fireplace and a custom built bar made by yours truly. The large bedroom has brand new carpet, a beautiful hand made wood wall and smart TV. The half bath and laundry room are connected for your convenience. You will have all the amenities you need from a mini refrigerator, bar sink, microwave and coffee maker.

My favorite part of my home is what I call, “The Sanctuary.” You will find the ultimate outdoor courtyard experience right in my private backyard. It is all about relaxation and beauty, groomed with gorgeous and colorful landscape! It has a hand-crafted peaceful water fountain embedded in a stonewall structure, a luxurious fire pit accompanied by 6 comfortable chairs. This space also includes an al fresco outdoor dining space beneath an intricately-built and mindfully-lit pergola. Adjacent, five hanging basket swings are suspended for your ultimate relaxation experience. One will also enjoy an outdoor theatre experience with a 70 smart tv!

My home is located in one of the most hip and happening cultural districts of Indianapolis, the Broad Ripple Village. It is an eclectic neighborhood with award winning independent restaurants, boutique-style shopping, family friendly parks, fun nightlife and steps from the Monon Trail, an 18 mile trail popular for walking and bicycling.

My home is wonderful for anyone; family with kids, business travelers and groups!

    What a great place to stay. The host was excellent and provided all sorts of treats and hospitality. She was available to answer questions and provide information as needed. Close to all the great restaurant and bars in Broad Ripple as well as Hinkle Fieldhouse.

    Carly was amazing - she was easily in touch (although we had NO issues). She left treats and wine. House is adorable. We really loved our stay - so much better than a few hotel rooms for the 5 of us for the weekend!

    Carly was the most gracious and thoughtful host that we could have ever asked for at a VRBO. She inquired about our favorite things and set up her home for us to have a lovely personalized day for the weekend of our wedding. Not only did she have local treats—she had personalized items made for us, and had bottled Coke and Dr Pepper delivered in the middle of the evening… There’s nothing I love more on earth than those and came in so clutch while I relaxed and while got ready for my wedding. Carly‘s home is so cozy and the backyard was sizable enough for us to casually hang out with visiting family members and stay warm around her giant gas fire pit.We love to eat out in this area, but on the two days that we had free we just rested at Carly‘s home—we had food delivered to just spend more time there, because that’s how nice the vibes are.I can’t recommend Carly‘s graciousness and the beauty and comfort of her home more if you are looking for a place in the area or having a group together in her backyard. Absolutely magical.

    Carly was a fantastic host! She was very responsive and kind. She checked in on us throughout our stay and made sure we felt comfortable. The house was very tastefully decorated. The bedrooms were very comfortable between the bedding and pillows. We loved having the outdoor area to hangout and eat our meals. I would definitely stay here again!

    A wonderful experience. The host Carly is amazing. Loved the personal note and treats she left at check in. The house is so charmingly decorated. The backyard is magical and relaxing our family loved the swings. Perfect location to dining and activities. We would stay again if we are back in Indy.

    Very well maintained and cute property. We enjoyed the outdoor space with the tv, grill, picnic table and chair swings. The front porch was also a nice place to sit. The beds are comfortable and the water pressure in the bathrooms is great. The location is a quiet neighborhood that we found convenient to get to any location in Indianapolis. We were there to attend a Fever game and it was quite easy to get to Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Carly (the hostess) is so very nice and quick to answer questions and offer suggestions. You should definitely have breakfast at Mama’s and enjoy the many breweries in the area. We had a great stay and all agreed we would come back. The listing does say there is a hot tub but we didn’t see one - that is the only thing I found inaccurate. All told, 10/10 stay!

    The property was absolutely perfect! Our host was gracious and thought of everything, even down to the personalized notes around the house to help us get acclimated. The house was a perfect location close to everything. The Broad Ripple community had so much to offer. I really cannot say enough good things about this place! Thank you for everything!!

    We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful property! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the design and decor—every detail felt thoughtfully curated, making it such a visually stunning and comfortable space. The house was even better than the photos, with gorgeous furnishings, cozy spots to relax, and everything we needed for an unforgettable stay. We were in town for the Taylor Swift concert, and the owner went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. She left personalized touches and little surprises that made the whole weekend feel magical. It was clear she truly cared about making our stay memorable. If you’re looking for a stylish, welcoming place with a fantastic host, this is it. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again. Highly recommend!

    This was our second stay at this lovely home. Carly is so welcoming and easy to communicate with. We all love spending time outdoors in the egg chairs. It is nice to be able to walk down the street to the park playground. The home is clean and comfortable. Our whole family enjoyed our stay.

    This Stay was very comfortable. The home was very clean and tidy. The host was very easy to get a hold of. We had two small children who really enjoyed the outside back yard. The host thought of everything and we had a perfect stay.
