Stylish Retreat Near Downtown Indianapolis

Neighborhood

Fountain Square isn't your average Indianapolis address — it's one of the city's most creative, walkable, and genuinely one-of-a-kind districts. Think murals on every corner, locally-owned everything, and a block that somehow fits a craft distillery, a duckpin bowling alley, and a live music venue side by side. Virginia Avenue is your main drag — lined with eclectic bars, independent restaurants, and galleries where you'll rub elbows with working artists and longtime locals. Year-round festivals, open mic nights, and community events mean there's almost always something happening within walking distance. Don't forget to check out the latest shows at The Hi-Fi! When you're ready to venture out, downtown Indianapolis is just one mile away, and the Indianapolis Cultural Trail connects you by bike to the rest of the city without touching a car. If you prefer to go by car, an Uber ride is usually pretty cheap!

Guest Access

Enjoy exclusive access to the entire home, backyard, and garage — your private paradise for relaxation and fun! There is one space in the garage to park and plenty of free street parking. Beware - do not park in front of hydrants.
