Family Room at Rosslyn Retreat

Warm, Comfortable, and Designed to Unwind

 

The family room at Rosslyn Retreat centers around a striking original stone fireplace—an architectural anchor that gives the space warmth and character year-round. Thoughtfully arranged seating invites conversation, quiet evenings, or a relaxed night in after a full day in Indianapolis.

Natural light, hardwood floors, and a calming neutral palette create a space that feels both timeless and intentional—never cluttered, never cold.

This is the room guests gravitate toward without thinking about it.

A small collection of classic board games is also available for relaxed evenings in.

A Kitchen That Makes Mornings Easy

The kitchen at Rosslyn Retreat is designed for real use—whether you’re grabbing coffee before meetings, making breakfast for the family, or settling in for a longer stay.

Clean lines, butcher block counters, and thoughtful touches create a space that feels both functional and inviting.

Downstairs Bedroom (Queen)

Calm, Comfortable, and Easy to Settle Into

This downstairs bedroom offers a quiet, uncluttered place to rest. The queen bed is dressed in soft, neutral bedding, and the room’s simple palette and warm light create a relaxed, grounded feel—ideal after a long day of travel, work, or events.

Being on the main level, it’s especially convenient for guests who prefer minimal stairs or want quick access to the kitchen and family room.

Designed for Restful Sleep

New blackout blinds help block early morning light and street glow, creating a darker, more peaceful sleep environment.

  • Queen bed with comfortable bedding
  • New blackout blinds for improved sleep
  • Dresser and closet for unpacking
  • Soft bedside lighting

Everything here is intentional—nothing distracting, nothing excessive.

A Practical Choice for Longer Stays

With storage, privacy, and a quiet location within the home, this bedroom works well for business travelers, extended stays, or guests who value simplicity and rest over excess.

Coffee Bar, Ready When You Are

Start your morning at the dedicated coffee bar, stocked and organized for convenience.

  • Keurig coffee maker
  • Assorted coffee, tea, creamers, and sweeteners
  • Mugs, stirrers, protein bars and simple grab-and-go snacks

It’s an easy ritual guests appreciate—especially early mornings or late arrivals.

Fully Equipped for Everyday Cooking

The kitchen includes everything you need for simple meals or extended stays:

  • Full-size refrigerator, gas range, microwave, and dishwasher
  • Farmhouse sink with modern fixtures
  • Full set of cookware, dinnerware, and utensils
  • Butcher block countertops with plenty of prep space

Whether you’re reheating takeout or cooking from scratch, the kitchen supports how guests actually live.

A Quiet Place to Start the Day

Just off the kitchen, the breakfast nook offers a simple, light-filled space that naturally invites slower mornings. Whether you’re enjoying coffee, journaling, or mapping out the day ahead, it’s a comfortable spot for reflection before the pace picks up.

Fresh fruit, clean lines, and soft natural light make this an easy place to pause.

Dining That Brings Everyone Together

The dining area comfortably seats six and is thoughtfully set up for shared meals, casual dinners, or work sessions that need a little more space.

  • Dining table seats six comfortably
  • Full dinnerware, glassware, and utensils provided
  • Warm lighting for relaxed evenings
  • Located just steps from the kitchen

It works equally well for family meals, hosting friends, or spreading out laptops during a longer stay.

Designed for Real Use

Like the rest of Rosslyn Retreat, these spaces aren’t staged to impress—they’re designed to be used. Guests often comment on how naturally the home supports daily routines, whether that’s a quiet breakfast or a shared dinner at the end of the day.

Downstairs Bedroom (Queen)

Calm, Comfortable, and Easy to Settle Into

This downstairs bedroom offers a quiet, uncluttered place to rest. The queen bed is dressed in soft, neutral bedding, and the room’s simple palette and warm light create a relaxed, grounded feel—ideal after a long day of travel, work, or events.

Being on the main level, it’s especially convenient for guests who prefer minimal stairs or want quick access to the kitchen and family room.

Designed for Restful Sleep

New blackout blinds help block early morning light and street glow, creating a darker, more peaceful sleep environment.

  • Queen bed with comfortable bedding
  • New blackout blinds for improved sleep
  • Dresser and closet for unpacking
  • Soft bedside lighting

Everything here is intentional—nothing distracting, nothing excessive.

A Practical Choice for Longer Stays

With storage, privacy, and a quiet location within the home, this bedroom works well for business travelers, extended stays, or guests who value simplicity and rest over excess.

Downstairs Full Bath

Clean, Bright, and Convenient

Located just steps from the downstairs queen bedroom, the full bath offers a bright, classic space designed for everyday comfort. White tile, simple finishes, and a glass block window create a clean, timeless feel while allowing in natural light with added privacy.

Thoughtfully Outfitted

The bathroom includes everything guests need for a comfortable stay:

  • Full tub and shower combination
  • Pedestal sink with modern fixtures
  • Fresh towels and bath essentials
  • Natural light with privacy glass

It’s a functional, well-kept space that feels calm and easy to use—morning or night.

Ideal for Main-Level Living

Having a full bath on the main level makes this space especially convenient for guests staying in the downstairs bedroom or anyone who prefers easy access without stairs.

Bedroom # 2

Cozy, Quiet, and Tucked Away

The upstairs bedroom offers a cozy retreat with a slightly tucked-away feel, ideal for guests who enjoy extra privacy. The queen bed sits beneath a skylight that brings in soft natural light during the day, while the sloped ceiling and warm wood floors add character and a sense of calm.

It’s a comfortable, inviting space that feels removed from the busier areas of the home.

Comfortable for Rest and Longer Stays

Like the rest of Rosslyn Retreat, the room is designed to be practical and restful:

  • Queen bed with comfortable bedding
  • Dresser and closet for unpacking
  • Blackout blinds for improved sleep
  • Nightstand and reading lamp

The blackout blinds help ensure a darker sleeping environment despite the natural light from the skylight.

A Favorite for Guests Who Like Quiet

Guests often choose this room for its separation from the main living spaces. It’s especially well-suited for longer stays, couples, or anyone who values a quieter sleeping area.

Bedroom # 3

Bright, Simple, and Comfortable

This upstairs bedroom features two twin beds arranged in a clean, symmetrical layout that feels open and uncluttered. Warm wood floors, soft neutral tones, and natural light from the window create a calm, easygoing space well suited for rest.

It’s a flexible room that works equally well for children, friends traveling together, or guests who prefer separate beds.

Practical and Well-Suited for Shared Stays

The room is thoughtfully equipped to support short or longer visits:

  • Two twin beds with comfortable bedding
  • Dresser for shared storage
  • Natural light with window coverings for privacy
  • Quiet upstairs location away from common areas

The layout keeps the room feeling balanced and spacious without unnecessary extras.

A Comfortable Option for Families or Groups

This bedroom pairs well with the other upstairs and downstairs sleeping spaces, making Rosslyn Retreat a good fit for families or small groups who want privacy without feeling separated.

Private Backyard with patio and privacy fence

A Quiet Outdoor Space to Unwind

The fully fenced backyard at Rosslyn Retreat offers a private place to relax, dine, or enjoy fresh air after a full day. Mature trees and a quiet residential setting make the space feel calm and removed from the pace of the city.

The patio includes a wooden outdoor dining table that comfortably seats six—ideal for shared meals, morning coffee, or relaxed evenings outside.

  • Outdoor dining table seating for six
  • Gas grill included for guest use
  • Fully fenced backyard for privacy
  • Quiet, residential setting

It’s a simple, functional outdoor space designed for real use, not staging.

Keely was a great, responsive host and was kind and flexible with a few small date changes we had. The place is cozy and has nice amenities and is close to plenty of what Broad Ripple has to offer.

Our family enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy! The house was charming and the neighborhood is peaceful.We were in town for a softball tournament so many of our days were spent outdoors. We didn’t get to explore the area too much, but what we did see was very cute and welcoming.Beds are comfy and the kitchen was stocked. The stairs are a bit steep if you have little ones. We’d definitely reserve again if we’re in the area.

We all enjoyed getting together at the Rosslyn Retreat. Our family especially loved the location, since we gathered to help our daughter get her new home ready to move into. Keeley's attention to detail was greatly appreciated: well stocked kitchen, clean and organized spaces, even dog toys and treats! Wonderful!

The house was clean and in a beautiful neighborhood. The decor was warm and inviting. The kitchen was in new condition with plenty of supplies including Keurig coffee maker and selection of breakfast bars. The bathroom too is new / clean and well stocked with towels and AVEDA products. We also used the washer and dryer which was also well stocked with supplies. This is a perfect place to stay if you you are traveling with a dog or two. The backyard is fully fenced with plenty of space for furry friends. I highly recommend this property if you are visiting Indianapolis.

This was such a great stay! The house was fantastic, and the backyard was awesome to hang out in. Having ample parking spots for the house was a huge plus with 2 bigger vehicles traveling in our group. Also it should be mentioned that even though I didn’t bring my dogs, I could’ve and they would’ve felt right at home. Everything from dog bowls, treats to toys was made available if you do decide to bring your dog.I would recommend anyone looking to stay in the broad ripple area to consider this house!

This place was amazing. There's plenty of homes that say they can accommodate pets but there are few that make the effort to really make pets feel at home. There was dog bowls, toys, and doggy towels available that were clean. Yard was fenced in and large. Kitchen utilities were very clean. Location is close enough to foody places but not too close to be stuck in high traffic zones. Overall I highly recommend this place.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Beautifully decorated, lots of space, comfortable furniture, and the best of all, lots of amenities for our dog. She really enjoyed the fenced yard, treats, and toys provided by the host. The host also provided potty bags, which I feel is above and beyond. Great stay! Would absolutely stay here again.

The house was exactly what we expected. All new furnishings and very clean. Plenty of room in the bedrooms and the extras available in the kitchen were a nice touch. The stairway to upstairs has narrow steps so be cautious on the way down if wearing only socks.

Keely was very responsive, kind, and helpful, even though we were not the easiest guests: we managed to lock ourselves out the very first day (our mistake, not hers!). She helped out right away and even had a locksmith come out within an hour or so to make it impossible for us to do that again. Keely was also extremely flexible with us as we extended our stay a few times because we were in town for a family member who needed cancer treatment at Community North Hospital, which is only 15 minutes away. It was nice to have a homey place to stay during a stressful and difficult time. The wifi is excellent. I never had one issue with my video calls for work, which I had daily for the two weeks we were there. The kitchen has all the needed basics for cooking meals, including several good spices. It was cozy, easy to do laundry when we needed, and overall a place I would certainly stay again if I am ever in Indy in the future.

We loved our month long stay at Rosslyn Retreat while visiting family. Lovely family house and garden/yard. Well equipped and in just the right neighbourhood. Hosts friendly and responsive and kindly let us change dates when our grandson arrived early. Thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for a lovely Airbnb in Broad Ripple area.

Great family neighborhood close to all the adorable options in Broad Ripple! Close to Butler. Home is so comfortable & cozy. One thing worth noting- the stairs going upstairs to the bedrooms are VERY steep with a short tread. Hosts did a great job putting 2 railings in & we were careful, so no issues. But I would not have wanted little kids running up & down. Furniture was great- plenty of room to cook and enjoy hanging out. Beds were comfy- on the softer side (worth noting if you like a firm bed.) Hosts are awesome! So responsive, kind and thoughtful! We would definitely stay here again!
