Great Stay!
Myself and five friends (all moms) stayed at this duplex (we stayed on both sides) while we were in town for a concert at Lucas Oil Stadium. Lisa was a wonderful hostess and communication with her was great. We all agreed that we would definitely stay in this home again and are already planning our next trip.

Great spot!
Lisa was very responsive and helpful throughout entire process. Thank you! The setting is very charming with the trees and river. Also in a nice area of town with Broad Ripple close by.House is very comfortable and charming. Had lots of kitchen items for easy cooking and in good condition. Very minor items to consider…..the units don’t really connect inside so keep that in mind if have younger kids (Wasn’t an issue for us with teens) and the windows could use curtains for darkening for sleep. Would stay here again on another trip to Indy!

Looking forward to having you stay!

Why they chose this property

The Broad Ripple Village is a unique blend of charm, energy, and nature, and it’s one of my favorite parts of Indianapolis. Situated just north of downtown, it offers the perfect balance of peaceful riverside views and vibrant city life. The area is full of character, with quirky boutiques, delicious restaurants, and cozy coffee shops—there's always something new to explore.

What I enjoy most about the neighborhood is its walkability and the easy access to nature. Marott Park, right next to our property, is a true hidden gem—perfect for leisurely walks, peaceful moments by the river, or simply soaking in the beauty of the outdoors. The White River itself adds a sense of tranquility that makes it feel like you’re escaping the city, even though you’re so close to everything.

Whether you’re out for a morning jog along the trails or grabbing a bite to eat at one of the local eateries, Broad Ripple has a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. It's a neighborhood that brings together the best of nature, community, and convenience—no wonder I love living and hosting here!

What makes this property unique

What sets our home apart is the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience. While you’re just minutes away from the excitement and culture of downtown Indianapolis, you’ll feel worlds away in our peaceful riverside retreat. With direct access to the White River and Marott Park, our guests can enjoy the best of both worlds—serene nature and easy access to the city's vibrant heart.

The charm of our rustic, well-loved home is complemented by two spacious units, making it ideal for larger groups, families, or even a special getaway with friends. The expansive backyard, with its quiet riverfront setting and scenic walking trails, offers a rare escape in the middle of a bustling city. The two beautiful back decks are perfect for soaking up the sunshine, hosting a cookout, or simply relaxing with nature all around.

Another standout feature is the fully-equipped kitchen and cozy living spaces, designed to make you feel at home, whether you’re here for a few days or longer. We’ve taken care to ensure everything from the décor to the details in the bathrooms and bedrooms provides maximum comfort for your stay.

If you’re looking for a place where you can unwind in nature yet still be close to everything Indianapolis has to offer, this is the place. We strive to create an atmosphere that feels like your home away from home, with personal touches and the flexibility to meet the needs of every guest.
