Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway—a true step back into the 1970s, just like the home your parents or grandparents may have had. This is not a modern, newly renovated space, but a lovingly preserved authentic vintage home, full of original character, charm, and nostalgia.
Situated on 1-acre in the heart of central Indiana, the home offers plenty to enjoy both indoors and out. A fully finished basement features arcade games, a dance floor, and retro entertainment, making it perfect for relaxing, reminiscing, and having fun with family or friends.
******A True 1970s Experience******
Each room has been meticulously decorated with authentic 1970s décor, much of it original to the home. This includes much of the original flooring, such as shag carpeting and other period materials, which naturally show wear consistent with their age. Guests should expect original finishes, furnishings, and fixtures rather than modern replacements.
Because of the home’s age and original materials, guests may also notice a subtle vintage or “old house” scent, which is part of the home’s authenticity and charm.
This home is best suited for guests who appreciate history, character, and retro design. If you are seeking a brand-new, hotel-style space with pristine, modern finishes, this may not be the best fit.

******Vintage Items & House Rules******
Many items in the home are original, vintage, or one-of-a-kind. We kindly ask all guests—especially those traveling with children—to respect these items:
-Please do not move vintage décor or take vintage items outdoors
-Please do not use vintage décor as toys or costumes
-Please report any damage immediately so we can address it properly
We do provide select vintage clothing specifically for guests to dress up and enjoy a photo session if they choose. These items are meant for light, indoor use only and should be treated with care and respect. Please do not wear them outdoors or use them for play.
Preserving these items allows us to continue sharing this unique experience with future guests.
******Cleanliness & Occupancy******
The home is professionally cleaned between every stay. We do not charge a separate cleaning fee; cleaning is included in the cost of your reservation.
Our pricing is based on the number of guests, as higher occupancy results in increased cleaning and wear on the home. Please ensure your reservation accurately reflects the total number of guests staying overnight or visiting the property.
Guests have full access to the entire home, including all living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms, the fully finished basement with arcade games and dance floor, and the spacious 1-acre yard—perfect for relaxing, playing, or exploring. The only off-limits areas are the garage and one locked owner’s closet in the basement, which are not accessible during your stay. Otherwise, make yourself at home and enjoy the entire space!
