Here are a few kind words from our guests:

“We LOVED staying at Burton's Bungalow. It looked just like the pictures. The home was beautiful, cozy and it was so cool to see the Nightmare Before Christmas theme around every corner. The list of amenities was exactly what we needed, at a great value. It was a great home away from home while we visited Indianapolis. The host, Sunitha, was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We will definitely stay here when we return and encourage other travelers to book Burton's Bungalow - it's a unique experience that can't be beat.” - Casey

“Burton's Bungalow is SO cool. The decor is refreshing, unique and nostalgic. We also had everything we needed - multiple TV's, specialty coffees and hot chocolate, and very comfortable beds. The location was great too - walkable area, close to great restaurants and downtown. Sunitha is a great host. She was very nice, responsive and really wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay by checking in before and during our stay. I highly recommend Sunitha and Burton's Bungalow to anyone who'd like a place to stay while in Indianapolis. I'll definitely book with her when I return.” - Michael

Sunitha was extremely efficient in returning emails with questions before our arrival. The house had essentials that most don’t provide (kitchen and laundry items). While we were there, communicating with her was a breeze and she was incredibly concerned about our comfort and needs. During our stay there was a 5 day heat wave. She brought over extra fans for us. She takes a lot of pride in her place. One of the best things was our departure “duties”- take out trash and turn off lights. “Cleaning is for the cleaners “ she said. How refreshing!

Exactly light the pictures. Great response from host. No issues. Light show isn’t really a “show” meaning not flashing lights or music but clever display!!!!

Property Was Located Near My Objective(Fairgrounds) and Has Great Potential Considering The Neighborhood but I Was Not Expecting The On Street Parking and Remote HVAC Control. The Outside Appearance Was Lacking For A VRBO but A Good Stay Overall After A Few Bumps Where Addressed and The Host Was Very Responsive Even Though She Was Out of Town During Our Stay. IMS Was A Short Drive Away As An Added Bonus!

We arrived with no trouble entering the cutest decorated house weve ever seen. Tim Burton fan. Adorably decorated in every room. Easy commute to Childrens Museum, other places of entertainment. Our hostess was very accommodating, taking care of a small problem we had. We would recommend it to anyone wanting a "Nightmare" of a vaca!
