"Wonderful stay"

Family Spacious 5BR Retreat w Game Filled Basement Suite

10/10 Excellent

"This N Washington VRBO was perfect for our 3-family (w/ 8 grandkids) visit to Indianapolis for the DCI Drum & Bugle Corps Championship at the Lucas Oil Stadium 5 miles away. Communication with the host and management team was great! Check in and access to the property was easy. Instructions for accessing the property and how to operate the security system alarm was very clear and easy to understand, and reliable wi-fi was provided. The hosts were very responsive. We had an issue with one toilet that had a broken handle. A plumber showed up relatively quickly to make the repair. He was very proficient, friendly, and courteous even tho it was after 5 Pm. The kitchen was very well stocked with practically everything needed to prepare meals. Another great benefit of this property was the very close proximity to the Children’s Museum. The grandkids thoroughly enjoyed the museum. Beds were comfortable with firm mattresses and fluffy pillows. Kids liked the bunkbeds, but the thick quality mattresses made one of the top bunk safety railings barely higher than the mattress. No little kids on that top bunk. The house was very spacious and comfortable for 15 of us. Thanks to the hosts and management team for minimizing any conceivable stress associated with renting this property. And thanks to the owners for sharing their home."
