Safari House

Why stay in sterile corporate short-term housing or book an expensive yet boring hotel suite when you, your group/family, and your pets can join a safari at our centrally located (near Northwest) charming 2BR 1BA 1910 bungalow. It's fully furnished, original bones yet updated where it counts, and woman owned and managed. Throughout the summer we will be doing more cosmetic updates outside, but will keep the ongoing improvements away from our guests.

This versatile fun space can cozily accommodate business travelers, healthcare professionals or a recuperating patient/caregiver who require easy access to IU hospitals, sales people who need desk space to see clients, a 6 member pit crew for the Indy 500, your family for a graduation weekend reunion, a cycling group interested in local or Menon trails, a family heading to the Children's museum and Zoo, your soccer or rowing team, wedding parties, or a "Girls" weekend out...

Enjoy the charming bungalow with rustic decor and pop art of your favorite wild animals for two nights minimum during event-free days, 10 days minimum during racing season, or up to one month at a time. You'll be delighted when you walk in the front door, sip your beverage on the breezy shaded front porch or in the hammock as you watch your pets frolic in the fenced front yard, and prepare coffee, meals or snacks in the fully-furnished kitchen.

More Safari House Indy goodies- remote workers and gamers will love our blazing fast internet (1000 mbs fiber), smart TVs, desks with ergonomic chairs, slippers (our gift to you), filtered/softened water, and a Keurig coffee/tea/hot chocolate bar. In the morning, there's mini coffee cakes, yogurt, instant oatmeal, nutra grain bars, and a fruit selection. Aircraft lovers will delight in watching the occasional flyover from the front porch. In May, race lovers will enjoy the distant sound of race cars in the morning. In the evening, light a mini campfire for s'mores (our treat).

Our block (North Dexter between 21st and 22nd streets) is a rising diverse area with many new and renovated homes. Our beds are brand-new firm hybrid coil/memory foam mattresses, cooling bamboo sheets, covered duvets, and animal pillows galore.

If you suffer from severe pet dander allergies, our pet-friendly bungalow might not be the best fit for you. Our cleaning standards are impeccable and we do treat fabrics and carpets with allergen neutralizer but we cannot guarantee results.
