We had a wonderful stay here! The house was spacious very clean! A comfortable and inviting, feel from moment we first walked in. The host was very attentive and had great instructions for all the amenities the house had to offer. We loved the yard games, arcade games, hot tub! We would definitely stay here again!
This place is a total win. It is the best stocked rental I have ever been it. It has really high quality produtcts and literally more than you will get at most hotels. There is basic food and spices and a full coffee bar. It has more hang out rooms than we could use. The hot tub and sauna are amazing. Great backyard spaces. Clean and empty garage to park and plenty of other parking. It is closeby to VERY cool coffee shop and places to eat all in walking distance. It is a transitional neighborhood, but we felt safe. There is a very chatty guy living across the street sitting on his front porch the whole time, but he seemed harmless and just wanted to talk. The beds are all hard, but good pillows and linens. I wish I could clone this place and take it with me every time I need a rental!
This property is amazing for a large group. Great outdoor amenities, the hot tub and sauna were great even with colder weather. Every bedroom was so cozy and inviting. The kitchens are well equipped for meals at home. Plenty to keep everyone in our party busy - the basement game room was a hit. This will be our pick anytime we travel to Indianapolis. Great location with easy access to downtown, Bottleworks, and Mass Ave. Highly recommend!
We happened to be in town right after blizzard of 2026, the owner did his best to accommodate us due to the snow. He even sent someone to shovel late in the evening. They took care of everything we needed and communicated well. The home was beyond beautiful and clean it is located in an upcoming area with mostly street parking. The home had everything we needed down to soaps, shampoos etc and even pancake mix for breakfast. With top of the line small appliances for cooking and making coffee. The beds are memory foam and firm, lots of pillows and blankets throughout the home. Two towels for each bathroom, so you may want to bring along an extra beach towel to use in hot tub and sauna! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!
What you see is what you get. This property looks new as noted in the owner's description. It is very well appointed and decorated, beds are comfortable and it's big enough to easily accommodate large groups. Our family was in town for the Indy 500 so we didn't get to spend as much time at the property as our typical visits. You could easily spend the better part of a day grilling out, taking a hot tub, playing yard games and sitting around the fire pit. All wrapped in a nice privacy fence. We did enjoy an evening sauna and everyone got a nice sweat on. Christal's communication and commitment to a positive experience for her guests is fast and honest and that's what everyone should look for in a VRBO host. The game room in the lower level is a bonus if you're traveling with kids, want some nostalgia or need to pass time on a rainy day. The location is an easy drive or inexpensive Uber to games, restaurants and other downtown activities and it was so easy to get to the speedway without being so close that you have the 24/7 noise in the town of speedway. Parking for at least one vehicle (likely 2 if they are cars) is nicely tucked away in the garage behind the property. If you're traveling with a group and want a clean, comfortable, fun place, this is it.
Had some issues but will say the host communicated very well, which probably saved a bad review. Most if not all of everything seemed brand new. Very close to downtown!
I am originally from San Diego, CA. With over 20 years of professional experience in hotels and hospitality, I understand what it takes to create a stay that feels both comfortable and effortless. I spent my career focusing on the details guests rarely see but always feel—from cleanliness and organization to thoughtful touches that make a place feel like home. Hosting my own home lets me bring those same high standards into a more personal setting, where I can share my love of travel, great stays, and warm welcomes with guests from all over. I love to meet people from different places, help them enjoy the city, and provide a cozy ‘home base’ for family trips, game days, and getaways. Whether you are in town for a big game, a family vacation, or a work trip, I am dedicated to making sure your stay is smooth, friendly, and memorable.
Outside of hosting, I enjoy traveling, unwinding with my family, and catching live games whenever I can.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood was chosen because it offers the perfect balance of true community feel and close proximity to everything people come to Indianapolis to experience. The Holy Cross area has tree‑lined streets, walkable blocks, and neighbors who actually engage with one another, so it feels welcoming and relaxed instead of hectic, yet it sits just east of downtown, only a few minutes from stadiums, major employers, and the city’s best dining and nightlife. There is easy access to spots like Mass Ave and Fountain Square, making it simple to explore Indy’s food scene and entertainment, while nearby parks and green spaces provide quiet moments with skyline views when it is time to unwind. Altogether, the neighborhood delivers a rare mix of convenience, character, and comfort that makes it an ideal home base for both work and play.
What makes this property unique
This property stands out because it delivers a full-on experience, not just a place to sleep, combining spa-level relaxation with next-level fun for families and groups. With a private barrel sauna and large hot tub, the home turns into your own spa retreat, perfect for unwinding after the game or a day exploring Indy, while a cozy fire pit area creates a nighttime hangout spot for drinks and late conversations under the stars. A dedicated arcade and game room with classic arcade fun keeps both kids and adults entertained for hours. And extra games and activities mean rainy days or downtime are still a win, making it ideal for families and guys’ trips. Outside, lawn games give everyone an easy, low-stress way to play together. Thoughtfully designed interiors create a warm, upscale, luxury vibe that feels more like a high-end boutique stay than a typical rental, with every room set up to feel “fully loaded” so guests can arrive, drop their bags, and immediately feel on vacation. This house is designed with both family trips and guys’ weekends in mind and located close to Indianapolis attractions and game-day action, it is the ultimate home base for anyone and everyone.
