ON 62-acre Broad Ripple park and a mile from Broad Ripple village

Broad Ripple Treetop Lodge on the Park is a quiet retreat in the middle of the city, designed with charm and whimsy in a tasteful lodge style. This is a unique 2nd floor creative space that will make you feel completely at home, while also inspiring you.

We now offer free laundry service!

The large common room is beautifully designed with soft leather sofa, huge antique rug, vintage faux fur chair, creative lighting, and TV with free streaming channels and local stations.

In the dining area the mission-style dining table expands to seat 6 and stores a dozen games. An artist-created driftwood chandelier hangs overhead.

The full, bright kitchen has ample dishes, cooking utensils, Ninja blender, roaster, full stove/oven, dishwasher, cooking spices, quality coffee (including decaf), tea, and more. You'll be greeted with a welcome tray of fruit and sweet and savory snacks, including gourmet local chips. And in the full-size fridge: creamer, butter, water bottles, and condiments.

All this opens to the large balcony deck, nestled between two giant 125 yr + oak trees. There is seating for 6, ambient lighting at night, and a busy humming bird feeder. We just added a Char-Griller charcoal grill/smoker. (We provide charcoal and wood chips.)The deck is excellent for morning coffee or evening wine.

The charming bedrooms feature quality Beautyrest mattresses on queen beds (We're serious about sleep!), with all-white quilts, blankets, and 400 TC sheets, so you KNOW everything is clean. In each room there are ample soft white towels, 5 quality pillows, extra blankets, fans, luggage racks, and individual reading lights. There are Hepa filters in each room.

Romantic Bedroom 1 features a hardwood floor and plush rug. It has a bonus office/reading nook with desk and bookshelf. Bedroom 2 has a cozy ship-lap sleeping nook and charming antique leaded window with shutter.

The full bath features a farm sink, bidet toilet, and excellent shower water pressure, plus quality shampoo, conditioner, and Aveeno body wash provided.

The house sits on historic 62-acre Broad Ripple Park (it is the front yard, there are no houses across the street), where nature and outdoor exercise are literally steps away. Play tennis or pickleball on the free courts, enjoy a morning walk around the park, use our kayaks for a drift on the river (which is 1 block away (minimal rental charge)). There is a community pool to walk to in the summer and brand new community center with indoor track and basketball/volleyball courts.

All this, yet you are minutes away from upscale shopping at Keystone Fashion Mall, wonderful local restaurants in Broad Ripple Village, at Ironworks, or downtown Carmel, and attractions like Grand Park Sport Complex, the world-class Children's Museum, downtown Indy, or the Indy 500 Speedway.

Note that Treetop Lodge is on the 2nd floor, with 14 steps. The first floor is occupied, but there are NO shared spaces and your front door entrance is completely private.
