beautiful home quiet and comfortable close to several good restaurants (strongly recommend arts skillets for breakfast) with easy access to the express way.
This is a wonderful house. It is clean and quaint and spacious enough for 4 people. Little things indicate the attention to detail -- like not only providing a Keurig and K-cups but also providing sugar/sweetener and creamer.
There was plenty of room for the four of us we all loved the house. It’s was great! Loved the kitchen so much room for cooking and just hanging out. Thank you so much
This historical property was perfect & welcoming. My mom & I stayed the night following surgery and it was more than we could have asked for. The property exceeds the description in every way. The beds are comfortable, the couch that makes into a bed is even comfy! The kitchen has everything we needed. The location was safe and close to all that Indy has to offer. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners - they care so much about the property & its history. It made the stay even more memorable. We’d stay there again!!
From the minute we walked in we knew we made a great choice! Was as clean of a house I’ve ever stayed at. This place has everything you would need for an excellent time in Indianapolis.
Location is certainly located for going to the casino or Lucas Oil Stadium.
I searched for an older home and found this house to be better than I imagined. Nice size mudroom when entering! Large kitchen with everything you could need. Games, puzzles, books, movies all in an antique cabinet. I loved the arches and original woodwork. We added our story to the stories this old house could tell.
I was going to watch my daughter compete at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds and took my parents with me. This was perfect for what we needed for a weekend. There are so many things nearby and easy to get to. The house was clean and very charming. We had space for everyone and nice extras like a complimentary bottle of wine was offered. The beds were comfy and additional bedding was available if needed. I would 100% stay again. The only downside was just one bathroom on the main level
This is a beautiful property. The house is adorable. Cathy let us check in early. The home and landscaping - beautiful! Would definitely stay again if in that area
Wood Homestead is a wonderful home away from home. It is impeccably clean and comfortable. The owners have done a fantastic job with renovations and updates, as well as maintaining the ample, well manicured outdoor space. The property is quiet and private despite, being located a short distance from a main roadway - which makes it easily accessible. We would absolutely stay again.
The home was clean, stocked with necessities, had plenty of room to cook, hangout or have some space. Easy to get to downtown and around. Communication was quick and reliable. The host added some extra touches that were appreciated. Highly recommend!
My family and I had a great stay in this home. The location was 10/15 minutes to downtown and worked out great for us. We were very comfortable here. The hostess was very accommodating and available for questions.
The house was clean and really conveniently located to highways. There is a lot to do in the area. Cathy was helpful and very kind. Everything she left in the house was informative, helpful, or welcoming. Would definitely stay here again!
Great home and beautiful yard. Easy to find. Charming
We really enjoyed staying. The house is great! Beds were good and everything was clean. Cathy is on top of any needs you might have and goes the extra mile to make sure your stay is as good as it can be. We will definitely be back :)
Cathy goes above and beyond and pays attention to the little details. She is so thoughtful and considerate to her guests. House is very clean. Will definitely stay again.
This house was perfect for our trip to Indianapolis! We wanted to stay outside the city, and it was easy enough for us to drive in for our events. Our kids absolutely loved their rooms, and they and they had fun exploring. They keep asking when we're going back!
