Bungalow @ Broad Ripple! Next to Monon and BR Ave!

Welcome to our Broad Ripple ANIMAL HOUSE! A uniquely beautifully decorated animal themed, light and bright bungalow in the heart of Broad Ripple. Our charming home is just 3 blocks to Broad Ripple Ave where you can enjoy all the area has to offer including shops, restaurants, pubs, galleries, art and more! Ride a bike, or take a stroll on the scenic open air Monon trail, just one block away! Our home is perfect for small families and couples coming to town to indulge, explore, or just relax!

Our thoughtfully designed home includes the following rooms with sleeping accommodations with memory foam mattresses in three spaces.

Master Bedroom - Relaxing space with a queen bed and a view to the back yard, with dual entry from the den and kitchen.

2nd Bedroom - Quaint and cute bedroom with a double bed and closet just off of the living room.

3rd Bedroom / Den / Office - Bright common room with twin day bed for sleeping, relaxing or reading with lots of natural light, with a desk and chair. The upstairs bathroom is accessible from this room. This room is a shared space with the upstairs bathroom off of this room.

Living Room - Lit up and inviting living space with a comfy queen fold out sofa bed.

Basement / Rec Room - Fun space with large screen TV, Darts, Board Games and a convertible queen size couch bed. This area has the 2nd bathroom with a shower and the laundry room with a washer dryer. This is the 4th room that we use for recreation. Technically it is not a bedroom as there is no egress to outside of the house.

Outdoor - Relaxing outdoor space under covered area with lights, seating, a firepit, and a BB!Q grill.

Our guests have access to the entire house and garage with the exception of our supply closet which is locked. Bikes, helmets, and bike locks are located in the garage for guest use. Please use bikes at your own risk but we advise that you use the provided helmets and follow all traffic laws for your safety. Stay Safe!

We (Ben and Kat) are usually available by phone if you have any questions at all. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything. We want you to enjoy your stay as much as absolutely possible!

Broad Ripple is roughly 30 Minutes to the airport, and 20 minutes to downtown Indy. The convenient and popular Redline rapid transit bus system will take you from Broad Ripple to downtown and back along College Avenue. We also provide a couple of cruiser bikes you can use and there is the Monon Trail less than a block away for miles miles of riding!

Something to note: Our home is an older bungalow with original hardwood flooring that does make some noise when walking around. While most find this a charming characteristic of the home, we have had a guest mention this to us so we want to make sure everyone knows before booking!
Quiet time after 10 p.m.

Family reunion
House was clean and welcoming. Beds were comfortable. Downstairs bathroom-toilet, sink, and shower, was very small, but clean. Location was very close to family, dining, and bike trail.

Lovely stay in Broad Ripple
We had a wonderful stay in Broad Ripple. The home was clean and ready for us to when we arrived. The location was perfect for our needs. We had a nice walk to the village and we even enjoyed using the bikes for a ride in the Monon trail. The air conditioning was perfect for our summer stay.

Great proximity to the Monon bike trail and BRIC's ice cream shop
Very cute house with historic charm. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen is small, but we didn't mind as we only used it for beverages and keeping leftovers cold in the frig from dinners out. The bathroom is nice with two sinks on the main floor. The basement is slightly musty and small. We didn't use it at all because there were only two of us staying in the house. It was nice to have bikes available for use on the monon bike trail. It's only a block to the East. Great location if you want to spend time in Broadripple. Easy walking distance to many restaurants.

Broad Ripple/Indy Weekend
We stayed at this adorable house for 3 nights while visiting our daughter who is attending grad school at UIndy. The house is in the perfect location to see our daughter in SoBro, visit the restaurants and bars in Broad Ripple and take a quick ride to downtown Indy. The house was very clean and the decor is adorable!

I love the location of this home. If we had had more time, we would have loved to bike on the trail. The decor is cute and our kids liked the board games that were available. I wasn't sure about the kitchen at first. It is small. But we had everything we needed.

Super cute and clean
My family and I stayed at this house (3 adults and one tween) while in town to celebrate one of my siblings. We were right around the corner from my family and the house was perfect! 3 beds (one full, one queen and a single) and a pull out couch. The beds were super comfy, I loved the mattresses they had. The house really had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend
