Homiest VRBO around!

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!

A Gem in Indy!!

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!

Paradise in Indy!

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!

Fantastic stay again!

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!

About the host

Your host

Our Treetop Lodge on Broad Ripple Park is on a 62-acre park in the artsy village of Broad Ripple. We love to travel (Northern California and Italy are our favorites), eat out, listen to great music, enjoy the arts, argue about interior design, and dote on our "covid puppy", Madeline. We have two grown children, one a new firefighter and saving to buy a home, and one married and living in the neighborhood. (!) We regularly talk about how we can get more cake into our lives. I'm a writer and non-profit director, and my work focuses on the intersection of creativity and spirituality. My wife, Danielle, is a medical aestheticism. She focuses on making skin look as beautiful as possible. We love to offer comfort, care, and creativity through the hospitality of our Treetop Lodge. Currently, I've been pondering a quote from Tolkien: "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

Why they chose this property

We searched years for this unique home. Its immersed in nature, AND in iconic, artsy Broad Ripple.

What makes this property unique

This is a special property. A quiet retreat in the middle of the city, yet immersed in nature, and decorated in a charming and whimsical lodge style. We are on a quiet double dead end street, with plenty of parking. Our front yard is 62 acre Broad Ripple Park with trails, free community tennis/pickleball courts just steps from our front door, playground, river views, and public pool. You can enjoy a morning walk in the park, use our kayaks for a drift on the river (which is 1 block away (minimal rental charge)), yet you are minutes away the best local shopping and attractions. Iconic Broad Ripple Village is walkable and less than a mile away. We provide quality towels and bathroom amenities (we have a bidet!), coffee, and tea and a few surprises.

The home is set in Broad Ripple, an easygoing district known for its local restaurants, low-key cafes, vintage shops, and brewpubs, as well as its iconic music venue, The Vogue.

This property is less than 20 minutes to downtown, 10 minutes to The Fashion Mall at Keystone, 15 minutes from Carmel, 30 minutes to the Speedway, and 20 minutes to Grand Park. Walk, take the Red Line downtown, ride a Lime scooter, take a readily available Uber or Lyft to and from Broad Ripple Village.
