Our small family of three stayed here for a short visit. Perfectly comfortable and well-appointed little cottage in a quiet neighborhood. Exactly what we wanted for our mini-vacation. Thank you, Claudia!

This was such a perfect stay for us. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, yet close to everything we needed. Claudia and Steve were both so friendly and accommodating. The cottage is even better than expected -- they've thought of everything. It has wonderful amenities, and it's all organized and well thought out. We will definitely stay again!

Travel basketball brough my daughter and I to the area and we were fortunate enough to stay here. Steve and Claudia were gracious hosts and we found everything we needed within the cottage. Beautifully decorated, all the amenities and close to everything we needed. If our travels bring us back to the area, we will definitely look forward to enjoying this gorgeous property! Thank you for the hospitality!

If your heading to the Indianapolis/Carmel area, this is the place to stay. Very clean, great location. Hosts are very cordial and gave us several good locations for dinner, as well as tips for parking along the Monon Trail. Although there is no oven or stove, there is a microwave, toaster oven, small refrigerator, and icemaker. The unit includes utensils as well as anything you may need during your stay (reading light, flashlight, umbrellas, etc.) But then again, why eat in when there are plentiful locations for great food. The cottage is located in an extremely safe neighborhood, and though it is located on the hosts property, it is very private, located near the rear of a beautifully landscaped and wooded property. If we go back to Indy again, we would definitely stay here again!

The hosts were so helpful and kind. The cottage was clean with every amenity necessary. We loved being able to have a barbecue. The neighborhood and greater area is great, with good restaurants. I wasn't able to give 5 stars all the way, though. The listing says that it’s wheelchair accessible, but there’s no way that you could get a wheelchair down that path. It is very uneven, and the grass overgrown over many of the flagstones. It would help if the grass between them could be really short. It was scary for my husband who walks with a cane, and for myself who is a little unsteady on my feet. Also there were no hold bars in the shower. Not great for older people.

We were looking for a place in Indianapolis for the weekend for a girl’s trip. This was a great property for what we had in mind. We were impressed with all the details of this quaint little place. Beautiful landscape, comfortable furniture, and thoroughly cleaned. There was a time that we needed to communicate with the host during our stay, and she was available. Highly recommend!!!

This was a great place to stay for our weekend trip to Purdue. It was only about an hour from campus and was very convenient to get on the highway. The unit was super cute and cozy, while still being very functional! It has many thoughtful touches and decor. The host was easy to communicate with and provided very clear instructions for everything.

This is a beautiful place surrounded by flowers and gorgeous houses. It is nestled behind the main house in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood. We stayed for 2 weeks and I worked from there as I am a remote employee. It was difficult to stay there for longer than a couple of days. Here are my reasons for the slight mark down: the path is grown over with grass even after their yard was mowed and it was a long walk. It rained while we were there and we had to walk through mud and a puddle in one section of the path. It is not easy to walk on the pavers and carry large suitcases or heavy things. The internet was intermittent so I was often dropped from meetings and I could not use the wi-fi for calls without drops. The kitchen is like an RV - perfect for a weekend or if you eat your meals out, but cooking there and keeping anything cold in the dorm size refrigerator was difficult. The bedroom blinds did not close all they way and I could see through the slats, so I put a sheet over the window for privacy. The parking place was often taken or blocked by someone at the main house.

This was the first time my wife and I have ever used Vrbo ,or the other company. This place was exactly what we were expecting it to be like based on the photos and description. The owner was easy to communicate with through text, and the layout of the place was overall nice. We have a small dog and the place was really good for small dogs. Minor issues that I am not going to really gripe about, and the owner has already been informed about and was responsive to.

Just had the best stay this garden cottage in Carmel, IN, with my 13 year old niece. She lives in the area and I am from Cleveland so I chose the cottage for a special girls getaway. It is a darling space, decorated beautifully and has everything you need to more than comfortably enjoy your stay. The grounds are beautiful, great photo opportunity! The hosts, Steve and Claudia, couldn't have been more accommodating. We will definitely be back and I would recommend the cottage to anyone traveling to the Indianapolis area. My niece and I were both sad to close the door and say goodbye!

Very nice getaway. Our only complaint is that the walk from where are you park and the getaway cottage was on stones not a solid sidewalk and my husband is disabled. It was a little hard for him to maneuver, but other than that we would go back.

We came to Indy to get away for a mini vacation. We had planned on biking on the mining, finding some trails, etc. However, we came in on Saturday and the weather turned bitter cold on Monday. Temp was a high of 44 and the windchill was 33… way to cold for outside fun. When the wind hurts your face… it’s no fun, so we left Tuesday vs Wednesday.

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at the cottage! It had everything we needed for the two of us and our dog! The cottage is decorated beautifully and is very private even though it’s on the owners property. This actually made it feel more safe to us. The owners were wonderful to work with and answered all of our questions. If we ever come back to Indianapolis, we will definitely stay here again!!!
