About this property

Groovy 1970s Home in central Indiana with basement full of entertainment!

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Decked out in 1970's style, just like the house your parents or grandparents had! You'll have plenty to do in the home, situated on 1-acre in the heart of central Indiana, with a fully finished basement complete with arcade games and a dance floor! Let this home take you back while you reminisce about your childhood and enjoy all the retro decor.

Each room has been meticulously decorated with authentic 1970s decor, much of it original to the home:

Master bedroom - includes all the original furniture and original royal blue curtains, a new Sealy mattress, high thread-count sheets, and has an attached master bathroom with beautiful original baby-blue fixtures. Includes plush bath towels and soaps.

Second bedroom - decked out in purple to match the original purple shag carpet and purple curtains, includes a queen bed and vintage furniture and decor from Florida.

We have even included some vintage 1970s clothing in the closet, if you want to dress up and do your own photo session!

Third bedroom - with a custom painted mushroom mural on the focal wall, this bedroom includes 2 twin beds, which could be moved together for a king bed, if that better fits your needs. This room includes the original yellow and green shag carpet.

Down the hall, you will find a linen closet, stocked with toilet paper and extra towels, as well as the hall bath, which includes the original avacado green fixtures.

The formal dining room is decorated with the original floral curtains and all original dining room furniture, along with vintage dishes. Furniture in the formal living room is original and includes a vintage TV/Radio/Record player, along with an organ and the original curtains and sculpted carpeting.

The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal, and boasts an avacado green refrigerator and stove, along with a matching sink. (note: dishwasher is non-functioning). There is a crockpot, functional vintage microwave, and booster seat for the little one.

Family room is cozy and retro, including a console TV, which works and is hooked to satellite service. There is a sliding patio door which opens up to the back patio with retro patio furniture, and a peaceful and large back yard.

Basement includes the original red shag carpet, and in addition to a bar area and a cozy sitting area, there is a dance floor which has a table for a gaming area, a cabinet full of retro games, a ping-pong table, fooseball table, air hockey table, vintage bowling machine, pool table, skee-ball machine and an arcade game. There is also a laundry room in the basement, which includes a vintage harvest gold washer and dryer.

Guests who stay here will be taken back to the 1970s, to a simpler time. Please note, many of the items in this home are original to the home, and most items are vintage, therefore guests should understand items in the home are not always in new condition.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Shaffer

Host profile image
This property has been in our family for over 170 years. We love this area, and the peaceful street where we live. We fly hot air balloons, we garden, and have chickens. We boat, kayak, and tube on the river in the summer. We love sharing this amazing "piece of dirt" with others. Though we live next door to this house, we do not interrupt your privacy during your stay.

Why they chose this property

The home seems removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, but it is still within driving distance of so much. There are connecting neigborhoods with sidewalks and bike paths, there are parks, the river and lakes that we enjoy in the summer.

What makes this property unique

This home has a 1-acre yard in a quiet residential area, but still close to so much. The decor of the home is unique, and will bring back so many memories - whether it's memories of your parents, or your grandparents home. We have tried to pay close attention to all the details and the things that made the 1970s so unique.
