Broad Ripple Treetop Lodge on the Park is a quiet retreat in the middle of the city, designed with charm and whimsy in a tasteful lodge style. This is a unique 2nd floor creative space that will make you feel completely at home, while also inspiring you.

We now offer free laundry service!

The large common room is beautifully designed with soft leather sofa, huge antique rug, vintage faux fur chair, creative lighting, and TV with free streaming channels and local stations.

In the dining area the mission-style dining table expands to seat 6 and stores a dozen games. An artist-created driftwood chandelier hangs overhead.

The full, bright kitchen has ample dishes, cooking utensils, Ninja blender, roaster, full stove/oven, dishwasher, cooking spices, quality coffee (including decaf), tea, and more. You'll be greeted with a welcome tray of fruit and sweet and savory snacks, including gourmet local chips. And in the full-size fridge: creamer, butter, water bottles, and condiments.

All this opens to the large balcony deck, nestled between two giant 125 yr + oak trees. There is seating for 6, ambient lighting at night, and a busy humming bird feeder. We just added a Char-Griller charcoal grill/smoker. (We provide charcoal and wood chips.)The deck is excellent for morning coffee or evening wine.

The charming bedrooms feature quality mattresses: Bedroom one has a King bed with organic natural latex topper, bedroom two has a queen Beautyrest black label with topper (We're serious about sleep!) We have all-white quilts, blankets, and 400 TC sheets, so you KNOW everything is clean. In each room there are ample soft white towels, 5 quality pillows, extra blankets, fans, luggage racks, and individual reading lights. There are Hepa filters in each room.

Romantic Bedroom 1 features a hardwood floor and plush rug. It has a bonus office/reading nook with desk and bookshelf. Bedroom 2 has a cozy ship-lap sleeping nook and charming antique leaded window with shutter.

The full bath features a farm sink, bidet toilet, and excellent shower water pressure, plus quality shampoo, conditioner, and Aveeno body wash provided.

The house sits on historic 62-acre Broad Ripple Park (it is the front yard, there are no houses across the street), where nature and outdoor exercise are literally steps away. Play tennis or pickleball on the free courts, enjoy a morning walk around the park, use our kayaks for a drift on the river (which is 1 block away (minimal rental charge)). There is a community pool to walk to in the summer and brand new community center with indoor track and basketball/volleyball courts.

All this, yet you are minutes away from upscale shopping at Keystone Fashion Mall, wonderful local restaurants in Broad Ripple Village, at Ironworks, or downtown Carmel, and attractions like Grand Park Sport Complex, the world-class Children's Museum, downtown Indy, or the Indy 500 Speedway.

Note that Treetop Lodge is on the 2nd floor, with 14 steps. The first floor is occupied, but there are NO shared spaces and your front door entrance is completely private.

    The host was super helpful and engaging, and the location is really wonderful for enjoying local culture and walking trails. Broad Ripple is a great part of Indy, and this is a great location in Broad Ripple.

    Fantastic property. It had more amenities than we could ask for. Incredibly kid friendly and very well thought out. Property owner was amazing and overly responsive. If we visit Indianapolis again we will for sure try to stay here again

    We stayed two nights at the Lodge, the place is decorated like a lodge/treehouse. It's nice. It was very clean. the towels were white and fluffy. I love fluffy towels. The beds were comfy.We had a couple of very tiny glitches, but Scott's responses were immediate and he did everything he could to make us comfortable.We loved the Broad Ripple chips, the applies, the water, the cookies that Scott left for us as a welcome gift.Thanks for a memorable stay!

    From the moment we walked in this cozy little space was fun! Well kept with obvious love. Interesting things to entertain the eye. Quiet - which is extremely important to me. All kinds of handy goodies all over the place. I would highly recommend!

    This is a return stay for us, and it was just as fabulous as before! We love the ease of parking in a very safe neighborhood! The deck is an added bonus as we sit out there in the morning when the weather is nice. Amenties are A+ with fresh white linens and towels. It's the homiest VRBO we've ever stayed in! We'll be back!

    We've stayed here several times. Scott is very responsive and cares about his guests who stay at the Tree Top Lodge. The lodge is so clean and homey. I love the extra level of hospitality of fresh WHITE linens and towels, and the lovely treats that get you through your first day's stay. We will continue to seek out the lodge as our preferred VRBO in Indy. Thanks so much!

    How to summarize perfection? The Lodge was spotless- fresh white fluffy towels and clean white linens! The warm welcome tray and fresh eggs in the fridge was a wonderful surprise which allowed us to enjoy our first day without the need to rush to the grocery. We had a fabulous stay and will definitely make this our priority stay for our travel to Indy. Thank you for a truly lovely stay!

    This is my second time staying and I’ll continue staying as long as they will have me. Location couldn’t better for visiting my daughter at Butler. Cute neighborhood with great food and love the nearby park. Owner is great and very easy to communicate with. Also, this rental is super clean and comfortable. Best beds I think I’ve ever had in a VRBO!
