What a great place! Clean and so lovely. It is in a perfect location for enjoying Butler’s campus. Beautifully updated and decorated- the only problem was we didn’t have enough time to enjoy all the amenities!

This sweet bungalow was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed our time there. It was in a quiet, safe neighborhood right next to Butler University. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Close to downtown so easy to get to the event we came in town for. Would stay there again if in the area! Thank you!

Perfect location in Indianapolis

We spent 3 nights here for our spring break. Located in a beautiful neighborhood on the edge of the Butler University Campus. Just around the corner from the Governor of Indiana’s residence. Minutes from LucasOil Stadium and IMS. Minutes from high-end shopping and restaurants. House had very recently been refurbished and was tastefully decorated. Highly recommend.

Fabulous Indy House

My adult daughter, toddler grandson and I had a stellar 4 night stay in this house near Butler U. The pictures don’t do it justice; everything was stylish and comfortable. We found it spacious and it had everything we could have needed (including children’s things like dishes and a pack and play). It was clean and welcoming with super easy check in and check out and communications with the owner, Chris, were easy and quick.We highly recommend staying in this home that is close to many of the things that Indy has to offer.
