You'll have the entire house to yourself and can access everything except the unfinished basement. There is a back deck with a table and chairs. There is a ramp for entering through the back of the house, which is perfect for rolling up luggage and for those who don't like to use stairs. There is backyard space with a grassy area. The yard is not fenced.

There is a covered front porch with a ceiling fan with 2 chairs to sit and sip your lemonade and watch the world go by.

Hey there! We're so excited to share with you our charming historic home that has been beautifully renovated and reconfigured in 2021 to give you the perfect home away from home. We've made sure that all the mechanicals are modern and brand new to make your stay comfortable and worry-free. With tons of large windows, the home is filled with natural light, but don't worry, we've got you covered with black-out shades in the bedrooms for a peaceful sleep.

Let's talk about the living space! The main living area is open and perfect for spending time with loved ones. The living room has a TV and a cozy seating area. Plus, we've added an inflatable queen air mattress to accommodate two more guests. There's also a convenient half bath with access to the main living area.

The kitchen, living room, and dining room all open up to each other, making it easy to hang out together. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals for your family, including an oversized peninsula that comfortably seats 5 at the counter. If you need anything essential in the kitchen that's not there, just give us a shout, and we'll have it to the home within a day. We've installed GE appliances, including a gas oven range, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and garbage disposal. We typically stock the kitchen with chips, oatmeal, ground coffee, tea, sweeteners, and sparkling water. And there's even a spout for filtered water at the sink. Just so you know, the pump at the kitchen sink is filled with hand soap, and the button by the sink is the garbage disposal.

The dining area has a long dining table that seats 8, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.

Now, let's talk about the beds and baths. There are three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a half bathroom. Bedroom 1 is located on the first floor and features a queen-sized bed and an ensuite bathroom with a shower that has a low curb, making it easy to enter. If a guest stays in this room, they would be able to enter the home and room completely step-free by using the ramp on the back of the house. There's also a walk-in closet with plenty of built-in storage.

Bedroom 2 is upstairs and located at the back of the house. This room features a vaulted ceiling, a king-sized bed, and an en suite bathroom with a tub/shower and a large walk-in closet with built-ins.

Bedroom 3 is located upstairs in the front of the home and is a converted attic space. The ceiling in this room is sloped on the sides. There's a full bathroom with a shower directly outside of this third bedroom.

There's also a large open area on the second floor with a couple of chairs, perfect for some quiet time. Plus, there's plenty of room to put the queen-sized air mattress in this loft area for extra guests. The air mattress is kept inside the closet in the 2nd bedroom.

The home has high ceilings throughout (except the 3rd bedroom).

Lastly, the laundry room is on the main level, and there's a washer and dryer available for your use. We provide fragrance-free detergent and bleach for your convenience. The cleaning crew washes the linens on-site between guests, and sometimes, there might be laundry left in the dryer. If you'd like to use the washer and dryer, please just move the laundry aside.

We hope you love our home as much as we do and have a fantastic stay! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.

The neighborhood is located just south of downtown. It's near the Indianapolis Cultural Trail and the Rapid Transit Line. There are scooters available. You could explore the city without needing a car. However, you can easily get to all parts of the city with a quick drive or Uber trip.

PARKING
Street parking in the neighborhood is free. You can also park long ways in front of the garage behind the house if you like. The space to park in front of the garage is large enough for a van or small bus. The garage is not available for use.

ACCESS
You can easily enter from the front or back of the home. There is a touchpad on both doors. To enter the front, you will need to go up 3 steps to get to the front door. They are not steep.

There is a ramp going up to the deck in the back of the house. So, it is possible to enter the home without using steps & it's great for rolling luggage up.

Great House!

This house had everything we needed for our two night stay to watch the eclipse. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was a good remodeling decision. It’s a short walk to the ice cream shop and to Garfield Park.

Friends’ Weekend in Indy

My friends and I had a wonderful time at the Jungle Bungalow in Indy. When we get together, we cook 5 star meals and eat like royalty. The bungalow’s kitchen was perfect for us. The neighborhood is lovely and we felt completely safe. Our host was very responsive to any communications and was always helpful. The next time we’re in Indy, we hope to stay here again.

Great but Very Cold

We loved this place for the most part! You can tell they really try for a hotel feel. Close to the convention center. The only issue we had is that it was very cold in the main area despite the fact that the thermostat was locked to 72 degrees. Even those in our party who run really hot were cold. Luckily, the bedrooms weren't so cold.

Enjoyable stay

This house is exactly as advertised and everything we needed for a short weekend stay. The beds were firm and comfortable with good pillows. We used the inflatable bed and it was fantastic! The living areas and bedrooms were roomy. The sloped ceiling in the upper non-master room was a bit more dramatic than expected, but my 6' tall son did not hit his head so all worked out well. The living area could use a lamp or two to provide alternative lighting to the ceiling light. And the bedrooms could use a dresser or console table so you can put your luggage up on a surface other than the bed, and put your clothes in drawers. The closets are well shelved, but drawers and a deeper flat surface would be nice. The neighborhood is run down, but being revitalized. That said, we felt safe. The manager was easy to reach, always responsive, very pleasant and flexible. We really had a great stay at this property and think you will too!

Great house in a convenient location

Rented the place so my son and his friends could hang out together. It was a great evening for the twenty somethings. House was in a very convenient location for everyone. They had a great time playing games and hanging out. Check in and check out procedure was easy and simple. Like I said, the location was great. Close enough to everything in Fountain Square and downtown but in a quiet, safe neighborhood.

Excellent property, but only for the right headcount

Property had no issues, WiFi worked well, plenty of parking, excellent communication from the property manager. Checking in and out was as smooth as could be.. Everything was very well kept and the property is very comfortable. No part of my experience was negative, aside from what I've written below. The very singular concern I had was that it really only sleeps _maybe_ 8. There are three bedrooms, each with queen or king. There was also a single air mattress in a closet and two couches in the living room. If your group is a lot of couples or people comfortable sleeping in a bed with a non-partner, it would sleep the listed 10 somewhat-but-not-wildly comfortably. Each room was large enough for an air mattress in addition to the bed, but you'd have to bring some and accept you're sharing a room. Three full baths was an excellent offset to this, though. Sleeping on the couches in the living room was a bit rough for my group because there is no other common space, so the early risers would often wake up those who were sleeping there. So if you don't need the full 10 or are a flexible group, it's a great option. I'd rebook with more air mattresses and up to probably 7 or maybe 8 people.

Clean, comfortable, and well though out

My family stayed here during a visit to Indianapolis. The house had absolutely everything we needed. It was very clean and a comfortable place to spend time inside and and on the back porch. Having a little bit of grass area was a bonus to for the kids to be able to play. The street it is on can be relatively noisy at night, so earplugs might be worth bringing for light sleepers. We enjoyed the proximity to Fountain Square and a couple of neighborhood gems nearby.
