A beautiful award winning Bungalow in the Broad Ripple Village

My charming home was selected for the 2012 Historic home tour! It was also featured in a two- page spread in the Indy Star! You’ll love my place as it is an original bungalow/cottage that Broad Ripple is known for. It was completed before the start of World War II and still retains many of its beautiful and original features. When you approach my home, you will see the darling cottage-style home enclosed by mature landscape and cozy front porch surrounded by a white picket fence.

When you enter, you will be greeted by the original Indiana limestone fireplace, original hardwoods, repurposed original kitchen cabinets, sweet dining room, full bathroom with it’s original tile and two great size bedrooms. I have tried to maintain the integrity of the original home; only adding my artistic touch!

I like to call my downstairs a private bed and breakfast! This is a rare treasure in Broad Ripple! The entrance to the space is right off of the kitchen. As you walk down the stairs, you will be comforted with a spacious family room complete with a fireplace and a custom built bar made by yours truly. The large bedroom has brand new carpet, a beautiful hand made wood wall and smart TV. The half bath and laundry room are connected for your convenience. You will have all the amenities you need from a mini refrigerator, bar sink, microwave and coffee maker.

My favorite part of my home is what I call, “The Sanctuary.” You will find the ultimate outdoor courtyard experience right in my private backyard. It is all about relaxation and beauty, groomed with gorgeous and colorful landscape! It has a hand-crafted peaceful water fountain embedded in a stonewall structure, a luxurious fire pit accompanied by 6 comfortable chairs. This space also includes an al fresco outdoor dining space beneath an intricately-built and mindfully-lit pergola. Adjacent, five hanging basket swings are suspended for your ultimate relaxation experience. One will also enjoy an outdoor theatre experience with a 70" smart tv!

My home is located in one of the most hip and happening cultural districts of Indianapolis, the Broad Ripple Village. It is an eclectic neighborhood with award winning independent restaurants, boutique-style shopping, family friendly parks, fun nightlife and steps from the Monon Trail, an 18 mile trail popular for walking and bicycling.

My home is wonderful for anyone; family with kids, business travelers and groups!

Perfect Stay

This Stay was very comfortable. The home was very clean and tidy. The host was very easy to get a hold of. We had two small children who really enjoyed the outside back yard. The host thought of everything and we had a perfect stay.

Cozy and welcoming

This was our second stay at this lovely home. Carly is so welcoming and easy to communicate with. We all love spending time outdoors in the egg chairs. It is nice to be able to walk down the street to the park playground. The home is clean and comfortable. Our whole family enjoyed our stay.

Swifties in Broad Ripple

We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful property! From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the design and decor—every detail felt thoughtfully curated, making it such a visually stunning and comfortable space. The house was even better than the photos, with gorgeous furnishings, cozy spots to relax, and everything we needed for an unforgettable stay. We were in town for the Taylor Swift concert, and the owner went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. She left personalized touches and little surprises that made the whole weekend feel magical. It was clear she truly cared about making our stay memorable. If you’re looking for a stylish, welcoming place with a fantastic host, this is it. We can’t wait to come back and experience it all over again. Highly recommend!

We had a great time staying at this property! It was a super convenient location for us to get to Butler to see our son and to get to Broad Ripple's fantastic shops and restaurants. Carly's place is beautiful, clean and had everything we needed! She was very attentive and available if we needed anything and even left us some AMAZING popcorn and other treats! I would highly recommend staying here! She made it so easy.

Carlys house is awesome. Great location with just a 15 min walk to downtown Broad Ripple. Beds so comfortable, every dish and utensil you could possibly need. The backyard is a great entertainment oasis. The house decor is filled with charm! We had a great get together with friends. Everyone loved the house!

We couldn't have been happier with Carly and her rental. She was a phenomenal host. Having several vrbo properties myself, my standards are rather high and I can honestly say Carly taught me a thing or two about hosting.

Broad Ripple & Biking

This property is cozy, quaint, and oh so close Broad Ripple and the Monon trail! The amenities were great, especially the outdoor fire pit and big screen TV, which provided much relaxation after a long day on the trail. We had such a great time that we're already thinking about a return trip.

Cutest Vrbo ever!

We loved our stay at Broad Ripple. My daughter called it the cutest Vrbo ever! Carly was a friendly and helpful host. The front porch and back garden were where we started and ended our days. We took the short walk to Broad Ripple park for the kids to play on the playground. It was a nice park that has some equipment in the shade. We had a great stay.

We loved it!

The home was very clean and comfortable. We spent so much time looking at the decorations, it’s very nicely decorated but unique. We loved how easy everything was. We used both upstairs and downstairs fireplace the entire weekend but our favorite part was the basement bar. This home has a lot of personality and the owner was responsive, kind and approachable. Overall a great stay!

Perfect Butler Graduation Weekend!

This property provided the perfect backdrop to celebrate my daughter's graduation weekend. Every detail is accounted for making for a charming and cozy retreat. From personalized welcome gifts and directions for use of tvs, fireplace, etc., to the comfortable beds (with water bottles placed on the side stands) and the lovely outdoor space, Carly has created an oasis. She also checked in via text to make sure we had everything we needed, and was prompt to confirm any question we had. I highly recommend this property. We will use it again ourselves when back in Indy. Thank you, Carly!
