Family-friendly vacation rentals in Indiana

We’d had a last-minute cancellation at another Airbnb in Kentucky due to flooding in that area. We immediately looked for a new place that we could escape to for some nature & unplugged time, and stumbled upon Garrett & Ewan’s listing—luckily a short drive for us. It is a gem of a find! Cozy home in a private setting with trails and on the water—hot tub was a bonus! We loved sitting around the fire pit, too. The loft was perfect for our teenagers. The rockers on the porch were our go-to in the morning for coffee. We commented several times on how it would be even better to stay in the summer—lots to do outdoors for all. The beds were a bit firm but that is just a personal preference. The house was clean & comfortable—definitely made for a great escape from the busyness of life. Garrett & Ewa were incredibly responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. We were grateful they accepted a last minute booking! It was just the type of R&R our family needed.☺️

We were a group of 4 old friends and our younger kids. Everything about this place was perfect for our get away. There are essentially two sides of the house with 2 kitchens. So when some of the kids wanted to be wild, the others could retreat to the other side of the house for more peace and quiet. The hot tub was amazing for everyone. The swing is all it's cracked up to be - a must try. We LOVED the beds - I am very particular with beds and these were wonderful. They are not too firm, but firm enough with what felt like a bamboo foam topper - perfect. Kitchens were perfectly stocked with all the supplies we needed. This really is the best place to go if you want to unwind and relax with friends and family. Remote enough to feel like an escape, but not too far removed that it's hard to find. The only thing we regret is not staying longer! We will definitely be back. Thank you Ken!!

This was my second time staying and i got to say it still blew me away. The cabin itself is very well maintained and very beautiful its so quite and peaceful there. What i really love about the cabin is its around alot beautiful parks and caves such as clifty falls, squire boon, indiana caverns, obannon state park, and mammoth cave well its a couple hours from mammoth cave, but when you come all the way from elkhart indiana its really not that bad lol. Anyways i really dont have anything negative to say its a beautiful place to bring your family and i would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to vacation in southern indiana.

This was our second time staying here. I don’t want to leave a good review so it’s not always booked up lol! Karen is very easy to get in touch with. The cabin is private, clean, and unmatched scenery. We will, of course, be going back!

everything about this cabin was spectacular and as expected.

This was one of the best places we've ever stayed, it was so beautiful and peaceful. April was so helpful and made the process so easy. We will defintely be back multiple times!

This was our 3rd stay here and plan on a 4th next year!

My daughters and I celebrated Easter at Kim’s cottage It’s clean, beautifully furnished and she is extremely responsive (I mentioned I forgot OJ on the phone and she was in the area and she left two OJs at the door) The cottage is cozy and fun We grilled, dyed eggs, watched movies, played a board game and loved the hot tub It’s clean clean !!! Just book it It’s a jewel box

Location was perfect for us and was close to lots of restaurants. Neighborhood is quiet and parking was easy. It is street parking, but there was a spot directly in front of our door every time we parked. The house is older, but with character and was much larger than I expected. We had zero issues the 4 days we were there. Really loved the sunroom. My only note is every window covering is sheer, even the bedrooms. So if you prefer more privacy or like to sleep in late you may have to throw a blanket up.

Cute apartment and thoughtful inclusion of local coffee and tickets for free cocktails.

We loved Amy's place! It was gorgeous and we had so much fun listening to old records while playing head up in the evening! It was the perfect location for us to check out IU with our teens. My daughter also greatly enjoyed her watercolors and place to paint! We also greatly appreciated the fenced in yard so our dog had a bit of to roam and play! She also had some wonderful healthy snacks available when we arrived on the table which we greatly appreciated after driving all day! We would stay at this place or her other retreat if we're ever in the area again! Thank you so much for hosting us in your home!

Great location that’s close to campus! Our family and pups loved the house. A little snafu with the lock on the front door checking in but overall a great stay! Highly recommend.

nice quiet little place. would absolutely go back

Enjoyed our stay at Sue’s place. Beautiful inside and it felt like home. She has it stocked with everything you need and she left snacks and muffins that were delicious. Definitely will be back .

First time staying at this rental . Was super cute & charming. Very well taken care of. Will definitely book again.

Barbara’s tiny home was wonderful! She has anticipated guests’ needs beautifully by making sure that we have everything we need in there—plenty of towels, dishes, a clean shower, shampoo, a TV with streaming services, and a tea collection. Barbara is also very responsive and helpful when it came to questions. We brought our dog and he has a blast. He’s a small dog so we easily carried him up and down from the loft. Barbara even left little treats for him.

Awesome properties, excellent host!

Lisa and Bobby were excellent hosts. They helped me feel at home, provided great recommendations and offered to personally show me around my new state. The check in was simple, rooms clean, and amenities well stocked. I appreciate the time and care they took to make the transition easier for me. Thank you!

Gorgeous and clean home with lots of included amenities! Great price for the size and location of the home with all the amenities that were included.

We enjoyed our stay with our son and his family. The house, yard and pool were perfect for our grandson and their two dogs. The neighborhood was very quiet and walkable. Our only possible concern was the lack of communication about the lawn being mowed and the pool being serviced on the Friday of our stay. It would have been nice to know so we could have had the dogs inside before people came into the yard.

Great spot with easy access to Lake Monroe. Host was very helpful and responsive.

Tom and Charyl were amazing hosts ! We had open communication throughout our stay and even got a tour upon our arrival. The airbnb was everything as described and more ! The pool was incredible and the airbnb was only a 5 minute drive to the nearest beach. They even had a binder of recommendations available to us of local attractions/things to do. Our expectations were exceeded for this trip, and we can’t wait to come back !

Such a nice little place, it was very private and very peaceful, hot tub was great!! The neighborhood cats were a pleasant surprise :) We’ll definitely be back!

I can't thank Melissa enough! The place is beautiful, spotless and had everything I needed for my stay. Melissa is a wonderful hostess... thoughtful, super helpful with recommendations, quick to respond and answer all my questions. The place far exceeded my expectations! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
