About this house rental

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!

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 property provided the perfect backdrop to celebrate my daughter's graduation weekend. Every detail is accounted for making for a charming and cozy retreat. From personalized welcome gifts and directions for use of tvs, fireplace, etc., to the comfortable beds (with water bottles placed on the side stands) and the lovely outdoor space, Carly has created an oasis. She also checked in via text to make sure we had everything we needed, and was prompt to confirm any question we had. I highly recommend this property. We will use it again ourselves when back in Indy. Thank you, Carly!

We had a great time staying at this property! It was a super convenient location for us to get to Butler to see our son and to get to Broad Ripple's fantastic shops and restaurants. Carly's place is beautiful, clean and had everything we needed! She was very attentive and available if we needed anything and even left us some AMAZING popcorn and other treats! I would highly recommend staying here! She made it so easy.

From the moment we booked, the host was warm and welcoming! The lovely property felt like home away from home for our family Thanksgiving celebration. The host spoiled us with treats and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay! I would definitely stay here again! Great location-trails nearby and a quaint downtown area! Loved it!!

My family and I were in town to visit some friends of our teenage granddaughter. We had the good fortune to select this charming cottage home in the Broad Ripple neighborhood of Indianapolis. It was so very cozy and welcoming. This home has a beautifully decorated backyard for relaxing. It also has an entertainment room in the basement with a large tv and bar. The kids had a great time playing card games down stairs while it rained. Our gracious host, Carly provided snacks and soft drinks for our teen and her friends. Carly was very communicative and responsive to all our questions and concerns. We would definitely like to stay here on our next visit.

Carly is a terrific host. From the moment you walk in to her amazing house, you know it reflects a warm and inviting owner. This is our second time staying and my daughter said it’s “our home in Indy” - thank you Carly! Looking forward to our next stay!

Came for our 6th Gen Con and this was the best VRBO we've had in 6 years. Carly does an amazing job on every angle. The house was straight up magical. Great beds, really good water pressure, solid tables (could use one more! I am a board gamer though most people would be ultra pleased.) The neighborhood is cozy, the kind of place that coming of age movies were filmed in the 90s. Its also close to literally dozens of places to eat. We ate at 317 Burger and Flatwater at Carly's recommendation and they were incredible. I hope none of you book this place before me next year because if I have my way my crew will stay here every year for Gen Con. Truly a special owner and an excellent property.
