A Private Backyard, Twin Toddlers, and a Pine Cone Hunt at Rosslyn Retreat

Sometimes the smallest details make the best memories.

Our most recent guests stayed at Rosslyn Retreat with their twin toddlers. After checking out, Kira left us a five-star review:

“This was a really nice stay for us. It’s a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We found everything we needed in the house and the fenced-in backyard was a huge plus for my twin toddlers. We had quite the pine cone hunt!”

We love that.

Of all the things families can do while visiting Indianapolis, sometimes the memories children take home happen right in the backyard.

A Family-Friendly Vacation Rental in Broad Ripple

Traveling with young children can make choosing the right place to stay especially important.

Hotel rooms have their advantages, but having an entire home gives families room to spread out, prepare meals, relax together, and maintain some of the routines that can make traveling with children a little easier.

Rosslyn Retreat sleeps up to six guests and provides families with a comfortable home base while visiting Broad Ripple and Indianapolis.

The home features three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable living spaces, a beautiful stone gas fireplace, fast 1-gig Wi-Fi, private driveway parking, and a fenced-in backyard.

And, apparently, plenty of pine cones.

Room to Relax and Play

One of the features families appreciate most about Rosslyn Retreat is the private backyard.

For Kira and her family, it became the site of a pine cone hunt for her twin toddlers.

For other guests, it might be a place for children to play, a dog to explore, morning coffee before starting the day, or a quiet evening outside after visiting family and exploring Indianapolis.

It’s one of the things we love about Rosslyn Retreat. The house gives guests space to be together, but also enough room for everyone to enjoy the stay in their own way.

A Quiet Broad Ripple Neighborhood

Kira also mentioned something we hear frequently from guests: the quiet neighborhood.

Rosslyn Retreat is located in a peaceful residential area near the heart of Broad Ripple. Guests can enjoy convenient access to restaurants, coffee shops, local attractions, parks, the Monon Trail, the Towpath Trail, Butler University, and downtown Indianapolis, then return to a neighborhood where they can relax and feel at home.

For families traveling with young children, that combination can make a big difference.

You’re close to the places you want to visit without giving up the comfort and quiet of staying in a residential neighborhood.

Everything Families Need to Feel at Home

One of our goals at Rosslyn Retreat is simple: provide guests with a comfortable, welcoming place where they can settle in and enjoy their time in Indianapolis.

We were especially happy to hear Kira say:

“We found everything we needed in the house.”

Whether guests are staying for a weekend, visiting family, attending an event, traveling for business, or spending a week exploring Indianapolis, we want Rosslyn Retreat to feel like more than a place to sleep.

We want it to feel like home while you’re here.

Make Your Own Memories at Rosslyn Retreat

Every guest experiences Rosslyn Retreat differently.

Some gather around the fireplace.

Some explore Broad Ripple and the nearby trails.

Some visit family and friends.

Some bring their dogs to enjoy the fenced backyard.

And sometimes, two toddlers spend their time hunting pine cones.

Those are the stories we love hearing.

If you’re planning a family trip to Broad Ripple or Indianapolis and looking for a quiet, comfortable vacation rental with room to relax, a private fenced backyard, and the conveniences of home, we’d love to welcome you to Rosslyn Retreat.

The pine cones will be waiting.

Pine cones clustered on the branches of an evergreen tree, inspired by a Rosslyn Retreat guest’s story of twin toddlers enjoying a pine cone hunt in the private backyard.
