The Golden Luxe Bungalow

Welcome to The Golden Luxe Bungalow

Here’s what you should know about your trip to Indy.

Hey there! We’re Steph and Collin, Indy natives, high school sweethearts with two young kiddos and a shared passion for adventure. 

It’s our mission to create inspiring, 5-star worthy travel experiences for guests at any of our properties and we are SO STOKED to welcome you to what we think is the coolest city in the Midwest. 

Whether you’re coming to town for an event at the convention center, a sports game, a bachelor/bachelorette party or anything in between, Indianapolis has so much to offer.

Before you arrive we wanted to share some helpful info for you in planning your trip! We’ll send more details on the house, check-in, and check-out instructions closer to your stay. 

The Location

Our location is PRIME. You’ll be minutes to Indy hotspots like Lucas Oil Stadium, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis Zoo, Indiana State Museum, Newfields, and Victory Field to name a few. 

If you’re flying in, we’re about 15 minutes from the airport. 

You’ll also be near cool neighborhoods like Bates-Hendricks, Fountain Square, and Mass Ave. 

*You will want to Uber or have a car to get around. Our place does have a two-car garage which is available to guests during your stay or there is usually plenty of street parking.
