About this cottage rental

A stay in our 1,200 sq. ft. guest cottage will help make any visit to Indianapolis one to remember. Located on a nine acre country estate just twenty minutes east of downtown Indianapolis, Buck Creek Cottage offers both business and vacation guests a great opportunity to experience the city and relax in the country.

Built in 1994, the cottage is just fifty feet from our private two acre stocked lake, so bring your fishing gear. As the photos illustrate , the cottage is fully furnished with the newest amenities. A central heating and air conditioning system ensures that your stay will be comfortable winter or summer.

Over three acres of maintained grounds and gardens offer the perfect setting for a comfortable evening at home after visiting the sites and offerings of Indianapolis.

While most of Indianapolis' finest restaurants are located less than twenty minutes away, a fully equipped modern kitchen that includes a five burner gas range, double stainless steel sinks, ample counter and prep surfaces and full size dishwasher and refrigerator offers an easy alternative to eating out. An outdoor gas grill is provided in case your cooking preference is grilling.

If you're interested in golf, a dozen courses are within a twenty minute drive.

If shopping is your sport, Indianapolis' best shopping locations are all within a twenty-thirty minute drive. Grocery stores, pharmacies, and general sundries, as well as pizza and other fast food, are all less than five minutes away.

Wi-fi and cable service are included, and a large HD flat screen offers the option to just stay home and take it easy if you're so inclined.

One bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed while the other contains a pair of twin beds. Two roll away beds can be used to sleep up to six adults. We also provide camp air mattresses for children and a Pack and Play, with mattress, for toddlers.

As photo #15 shows, the linear layout of the cottage's one bathroom permits simultaneous and comfortable usage of the walk-in shower and sink.

The entry area to the cottage contains a large dining area and breakfast counter and an open pass through to the kitchen area for easy service. The living room is located just off the dining area, and the combination offers the opportunity to entertain a small group of friends or family if desired.

While most of the lake's shoreline is maintained in its natural state, a cantilevered deck is located at the shoreline nearest the cottage for fishing, swimming, or sunbathing. Adirondack chairs and a picnic table are also available to ensure your time outdoors at Buck Creek Cottage is as comfortable and enjoyable as your time indoors.

A large fire pit located near the cantilevered deck is provided for those evenings under the stars. Firewood is provided for a couple of fires.

Please note that the pictures include photos of the property's main residence to show the grounds and gardens and facilitate easier identification of the property as the cottage sits fifty yards behind the main house and a hundred yards from Buck Creek Road. The cottage address is 384 Buck Creek Rd., Indianapolis, IN, 46229. Use this address, and either Google Maps or Waze will direct you to the driveway of the main house. Park at the end of the driveway, and you'll see the cottage immediately ahead.

We look forward to your visit.

The property was clean and cozy. We stayed for a extended weekend. Fishing was great and the fire pit was a plus. Easy drive to the city.

We had a wonderful time. The hosts were very helpful and kind. This house has everything you will ever need and then some. The fishing was amazing and our 8 year old didn’t want to leave and told us it was “the best time of his life.” We definitely want to come again. Thanks, Buck Creek Cottage!

Our family had a wonderful time on this small, peaceful lake. The owners could not have been more friendly and responsive. Communication was great. They supplied fishing poles, a nice canoe, and plenty of wood for the firepit. Property was well maintained and had everything we needed for the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. Close to Indy, but the neighborhood was nice and quiet with a park nearby with walking trails and tennis courts. We will definitely look to stay here again.

Great property, thoroughly enjoyed. We enjoyed time out on the pond everyday of our 10 day visit on tubes. Fishing was great, we caught large mouth bass, medium to large catfish and lots of bluegill. Can't catch much without live bait though, "the bobbershop" has a 24/7 vending machine with live bait about 15 minutes away. Less than 10 minutes from 4-5 grocery stores. In indy we visited the childrens museum, zoo and did a couple canal boat rides on the swan boats for healthy fun and exercise. visited the sailors and soldiers monument and 9/11 memorial to share some history and pay our respects. The cabin has a couple quirks... dishwasher only can be started if the door is completely closed before pressing start, which requires some small fingers. Hot water in the shower is hit or miss if the dishwasher is on, easy to plan accordingly though. Larry and Margo are great hosts and were quick to help whenever we needed anything. we enjoyed visiting with them when we ran into them and learning how the pond was built and all that went into this unique property. Was nice of them to even do our laundry and share some tasty homemade cookies! Fishing rods and reels are in one of the closets if you are short on space. Abundant brush areas for privacy conscious dogs to tend to business. All in all a real hidden gem of Indy with everything needed to explore the city and relax on the pond at home base

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our trip to Indianapolis!!! We came to see the Olympic Swim Trials and loved the cabin and lake so much we could have just stayed there all weekend! Our children loved catching huge bluegills and had an awesome time catching some big bass!!!! The cabin was great. Communication with the owner was practically instantaneous. I would recommend this property to everyone and i hope we can make it back someday!!! 10/10!!

This was a fishing trip for me and my dad. He's getting older and not in good health. We wanted someplace fairly close that was comfortable and had good access to do some fishing. This place was perfect. When we arrived, we met the hosts, Larry and Margo, and they could not have been more pleasant. Absolutely lovely people. The cottage was very nice and clean and had everything we needed. My sister lives close to the place, and they were more than okay with her and her family stopping by to visit for a few hours. We spent most of our time sitting on the dock fishing. My dad has mobility issues, and their dock is perfect and easily accessible. It was some of the best fishing we've ever done! I was worried about just sitting there for hours a day, not catching anything, but we did so well that I had to make another run to get more bait. We couldn't keep up. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it.

A buddy and I rented this as a gathering spot to meet up and stay for the Indy 500 weekend… When we arrived, we were pleasantly impressed on just how beautiful and quiet the spot was… The hosts greeted us and were very hospitable, anything we needed or had a question they were able to accommodate us… The Race weekend my buddy and I planned was great and couldn’t be more happier with this cottage… We definitely recommend it and if my buddy and I are able to, we will book it for next year… Thank you so much Larry and Margo for a great experience…
