The cottage has a beautiful setting in peaceful neighborhood with old trees. You feel one with nature, in fact a deer roamed through the yard on Sunday morning. The cottage is furnished very nicely and is comfortable. Claudia was very responsive and recommended some great restaurants. We will stay here again when we are back in Indy.
Cute cottage ,lots of great cooking supplies, comfortable bed and adequate internet. Did not care for parking situation (sometimes other people parked in our designated spot) , overgrown hostas along walkway, shower is cramped and a mild snafu with check-in which was addressed.
Upon arrival Steve and Claudia the owners greeted us, showed us the gorgeous grounds and cottage, and were available if we needed them. The Pink Elephant Cottage is private, clean, well organized, comfortable, nicely decorated, and has many extras in amenities that you would not expect. It was extremely hot during our stay but we were able to adjust the AC and dehumidifier to make the cottage very livable with a good night's sleep. The location is perfect in a nice neighborhood with easy access to downtown Indianapolis and the surrounding nearby towns. One of the nicest Vrbo places and experience we have had in the United States! We hope to be back in the future.
This place is absolutely AMAZING and gorgeous . You will not regret staying here. Everything you would need, they supply. My daughter absolutely loved the coffee bar. It is in a safe neighborhood but just minutes from all things Indianapolis, Zionsville, Carmel, etc. It really is in a perfect location.
The host was very professional until three days into the five-night stay, when the toilet was flushed, sewage was expelled into the shower drain, the bathroom became inoperable, and the smell was overwhelming. If the host had responded immediately to the emergency and taken action, there may have been a different outcome. Hotel options were very limited because a five-state Regional Gymnastics Championship was scheduled that weekend. The host refunded less than the 2 days that the property was unable to be occupied. Better compensation should have occurred.
The property itself was fantastic. The cottage was impeccably clean and this added immensely to our peace of mind and overall enjoyment. The owners are very helpful and we appreciated their service. This cottage is a true gem â book it, you won't be disappointed!
Our small family of three stayed here for a short visit. Perfectly comfortable and well-appointed little cottage in a quiet neighborhood. Exactly what we wanted for our mini-vacation. Thank you, Claudia!
This was such a perfect stay for us. The neighborhood is safe, quiet, yet close to everything we needed. Claudia and Steve were both so friendly and accommodating. The cottage is even better than expected -- they've thought of everything. It has wonderful amenities, and it's all organized and well thought out. We will definitely stay again!
Travel basketball brough my daughter and I to the area and we were fortunate enough to stay here. Steve and Claudia were gracious hosts and we found everything we needed within the cottage. Beautifully decorated, all the amenities and close to everything we needed. If our travels bring us back to the area, we will definitely look forward to enjoying this gorgeous property! Thank you for the hospitality!
If your heading to the Indianapolis/Carmel area, this is the place to stay. Very clean, great location. Hosts are very cordial and gave us several good locations for dinner, as well as tips for parking along the Monon Trail.
Although there is no oven or stove, there is a microwave, toaster oven, small refrigerator, and icemaker. The unit includes utensils as well as anything you may need during your stay (reading light, flashlight, umbrellas, etc.) But then again, why eat in when there are plentiful locations for great food.
The cottage is located in an extremely safe neighborhood, and though it is located on the hosts property, it is very private, located near the rear of a beautifully landscaped and wooded property. If we go back to Indy again, we would definitely stay here again!
The hosts were so helpful and kind. The cottage was clean with every amenity necessary. We loved being able to have a barbecue. The neighborhood and greater area is great, with good restaurants.
I wasn't able to give 5 stars all the way, though. The listing says that itâs wheelchair accessible, but thereâs no way that you could get a wheelchair down that path. It is very uneven, and the grass overgrown over many of the flagstones. It would help if the grass between them could be really short.
It was scary for my husband who walks with a cane, and for myself who is a little unsteady on my feet. Also there were no hold bars in the shower. Not great for older people.
The owners have put a lot of thought into all of the details to make this cottage a beautiful and well appointed retreat. The bed was very comfortable, guaranteeing a good nightâs sleep in a peaceful and quiet yet convenient location. Many thanks to our hosts!
We were looking for a place in Indianapolis for the weekend for a girlâs trip. This was a great property for what we had in mind. We were impressed with all the details of this quaint little place. Beautiful landscape, comfortable furniture, and thoroughly cleaned. There was a time that we needed to communicate with the host during our stay, and she was available.
Highly recommend!!!
Had a great stay. The cottage is cozy and private On a beautiful property. Host was very responsive and instructions/check in was clear. Highly recommend.
I needed a little place to stay and restâthe pink elephant cottage was perfect. Itâs comfortable, and beautiful. Very clean, and well taken care of. The owners were very polite and responded to my messages very quickly. Canât wait to stay here again! :)
This is a cute little place which was very welcoming. Nice linens, warm shower, and very dog friendly with a fenced in potty area. A terrific weekend overall!
Why have a generic experience when you can experience the city on a more personal level. We are always available to offer suggestions on things to do, etc. Having rented from VRBO ourselves, we understand what it takes to offer a unique property and look forward to hosting you.
WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT: This is the ONLY property on VRBO that is located in Indianapolis' premier residential & retail area making it safe and highly accessible. The Cottage is nestled within an award winning garden on an acre lot, yet is still minutes from downtown and suburbs. THE EXPERIENCE: The cottage is comparable to a hotel junior suite, the cottage offers amenities (seasonal linens & signature toiletries) and an unmatched client experience within a garden setting.
Some of the comments we've received have been how tranquil and relaxing it is to unwind in our guest house. The gardens are in bloom year-round and depending on the season, the display of flowers varies. Whatever time of year, it is a special place to be. When you're ready to explore, there are many big city cultural attractions nearby.
