Home rentals in Indianapolis

3 Bedroom House - 1 Block From Broad Ripple Ave
After researching where to stay during our quick friends' trip to Indianapolis, we decided to find a place in Broad Ripple. We wanted to be in a good neighborhood with places to eat, drink, & shop nearby. Daniel's place was in this area, so we chose it. What a great surprise to be within 5 minutes of walking to all we were looking for! We went for BBQ & then a few pubs the first night. The next day we walked around again to shop & eat. The pictures of the house don't do it justice. Its much cuter in person. The beds were comfy. Plenty of towels. Very clean kitchen. Sizable couches to relax on & talk with friends. Nice variety of coffees to choose from (but the Keurig was kind of tricky to figure out). I'd definitely stay at Daniel's place again.

Beautiful home w/ amenities - Close to Downtown!
Hosts were amazing, home was fantastic, incredibly well stocked (best Airbnb every and we stay at a TON), very responsive...highly, highly recommend the house and the hosts!

Incredibly Large 7 Bdr Downtown Sleeps 15
Great host and a spacious place for a family get-together.

Private 4 BDRM house, 5 Miles from Downtown #7
The house spotless and well laid out. Joe gave great directions on the check in and check out process. House was easy to find and in a nice location.

THE BEST of Downtown! Entire Home-Stay in Elegance
Amazing location in Indianapolis! We were in town for the FDIC show and it was a perfect location to the convention center, restaurants and nightlife. I highly recommend!

Great Location! 3BR Downtown Home steps from Canal
We enjoyed our stay at the rental. It was spacious and it was everything we wanted and needed. We will be back in two years if it’s available.

10 mins to Grand Park + Fam friendly quiet nbrhd
We were super glad to find Cara's place after another reservation (different host, not on Airbnb) fell thru last minute. The house was very nice, clean, and just the right size place for our family. We were also happy to find out that their company helps a local missions ministry. So cool! We would definitely book this place again when we return to Indiana for next basketball season!

Large House Rental in Historic Area
Five stars! Richard is an amazing host. What a great check in experience - a personal note, along with wine and bagels and creme cheese! He gave very clear directions for check in and was flexible when we needed. He was so responsive to every message and every little question. The place was great, just as described and perfect for our party of 10. Will stay here again, for sure!
Cabin rentals in Indianapolis

Hilltop Cabin, Lake, Hot tub
We had a girls weekend and this cozy cabin was what we needed. Cabin was just beautiful inside and out. Hot tub was so nice as well. We will be back!!! This spot is a nice getaway!!!

Cowboy Bunkhouse hot tub/lake/farm/nature
Had a nice short weekend at the Cowboy Bunkhouse. Very well-appointed space with everything you need in hand for a relaxing weekend. Bathroom was really neat with the steel tub and shower. Easy to follow directions. Space is rustic and there were a few folks staying on site. Hard to walk around and enjoy without maybe walking too close to another rental spot. Good for our family of four to get out of Indy for a weekend.

Timber West Lodge
This cabin was a wonderful place for a family gathering. My family and my sisters’ families got together for a wedding and it was the perfect location for us, as it was close to the wedding venue and the rehearsal dinner location. The cabin had very nice sized bedrooms with lots of space for everyone to sleep and relax, a cozy living area with a fireplace, and an ample kitchen and eating space. We loved it and would definitely recommend for others!

Haven In The City - Noblesville
What an awesome cabin. We loved it! We came to Indy for the MS walk with family, and had to be out the door fairly early on Saturday morning-so it was a short stay, but wonderful! The place was nice and clean, quiet, just an awesome setting! Would definitely recommend and hope to come back again.

Kit’s Cabin - Log Cabin Retreat in Indianapolis
This cabin was perfect! We stayed for a quick weekend trip and the location was very nice. The cabin felt like you were escaping reality when you were in it. Very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Kimberly was wonderful to work with. Very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be staying here again for future stays in Indianapolis.

Unique A-Frame Retreat•Prime Location•Custom Bath
I had an incredible stay at this A-frame Airbnb! The cabin itself is charming, cozy, and beautifully designed, with plenty of natural light and a serene atmosphere. It was the perfect retreat for a peaceful getaway. The hosts were outstanding—extremely responsive and attentive, always quick to answer any questions or offer helpful recommendations. They truly went above and beyond to make sure my stay was comfortable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a unique and welcoming space!

Rustic and Cozy Log Cabin with close parking
A lovely, homey cabin on a beautiful property! While we didn't get to fully enjoy the pond because of the chilly weather, we appreciated the view. The entire property was clean and well taken care of. We felt very safe, which was important for three ladies traveling alone. Mike was easy to reach out to for help when we had a mishap with the fireplace. A very welcoming host who goes above and beyond with Midwestern hospitality. You will not be disappointed!

Waterfront getaway *cozy & peaceful*fishing*swings
I absolutely loved this little cabin! Perfect for a little getaway. Even though it was in a small neighborhood, you felt like you were in your own little world! Had everything I needed and was able to fully relax:)

Unit was clean and as pictured. There are numerous walkable sites nearby. I would definitely consider staying again.

Comfort & Privacy, 1 BR Apt, 14 Min to Airport
Highly recommend Dave's place! It was the perfect location for us. It was very clean. Check-in was easy. There was plenty of hot water for two people to take showers. The bed was a little too soft for our aging backs, but still comfortable with good linens. Close to lots of restaurants and shopping. Not far from the airport.

Upper level 1 bd stylish flat
Samantha gave amazing instructions on checking in and checking out. The place was easy to find and I liked that there was a private parking lot. It was also close enough to the convention center to take an Uber relatively cheap and still get there pretty quick. I would definitely stay again.

All About Indianapolis
Nestled amid Indiana’s beautiful green pastures and farmland, Indianapolis is one of the largest cities in the Midwest and serves as the state’s capital and cultural hub. Its streets are full of soaring skyscrapers, grand government buildings, and Art Deco masterpieces. A variety of vibrant murals add splashes of color to the urban landscape, and the riverfront promenade offers sweeping views of the White River. An eight-mile walking trail connects Indy’s cultural districts, a convenient thoroughfare for exploring the city’s top attractions without getting behind the wheel of a car.
Then again, cars helped put Indianapolis on the map. Just beyond downtown, you’ll find its legendary speedway, home to one of the country’s most famous motor circuits. People come from all over the world to catch a race here and visit the on-site museum. If motorsports exhaust you, Indianapolis and its surrounding area has plenty of green space to go around, including a handful of top-notch parks like Brown County State Park and Mounds State Park, where you’ll find well-marked trails full of locals hiking and biking in no particular hurry.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Indianapolis
Indianapolis experiences cold winters, hot summers, and mild temperatures in the spring and fall. Although the weather in Indiana can be extreme, there is no bad time to secure an Indianapolis vacation rental. During the spring, summer, and fall, you can take advantage of the walkable downtown and riverfront promenade and put some mileage in on the nearby hiking trails. In winter, the downtown lights up in a sea of Christmas lights, and you can go sledding on one of the many hills or lace up your ice skates for a whirl around one of the city's many outdoor skating rinks. Indianapolis hosts several city-wide festivals and events, including a lively St. Patrick's Day Festival in March, a celebration of independent film in April, and a world-famous car race in May with more than 50 events and programs. In August, the Indiana State Fair rolls out 17 days of concerts, carnival rides, and high-caloric snacks like deep-fried cheesecake bites.
