Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Carmel

This was our second time staying at The Ripple Retreat and it was just as delightful as before. We love the comfortable space, oven, kitchen, comfy beds and the location is superb. We enjoyed walking to local restaurants and pubs. Look forward to our next visit! Thank you!

This is the second year in a row that our family has stayed here while in town for a weekend basketball tournament. We found the house to be exactly as last year: plenty of room for everyone to sleep peacefully on comfortable and supportive beds, very clean and tidy, well-equipped and stocked kitchen, quiet neighborhood, and 10-15 minutes to the tournament and plenty of food options. We appreciate the hosts accommodating us again this year, and we’ll be back if our travels bring us to Westfield again in the future.

This was the perfect place for us to go to Indy 500 qualifications! Very comfortable and easy access to everything. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for providing a nice place to stay!

Eric & Chelsea were great hosts and were very responsive to questions and made great suggestions for local cuisine. The house accommodated our large family well and the hosts had great board games and children’s games. It’s just a great place to stay close to downtown Indy. We enjoyed the weekend and made great family memories in the house! We would stay again!

Sarah was extremely responsive and helpful with any concerns we had. The house is in a great location near downtown Carmel and is definitely pet friendly. We had no issues at all and Sarah was proactive in providing recommendations for the local restaurants and shops.

The home was exactly what our party of 8 was looking for. All of the bedrooms had their own bathroom and while the home was located on a busy road, the bedrooms had sound machines to drown out the traffic noise. Loved the layout, the private backyard, and the overall location for our Indy500 weekend. My only suggestion would be to buy some cornhole boards/yard games as the side yard would be perfect. Will come again!

The house worked perfectly for us. We were back in Indiana for a HS graduation and we could leave the dogs at the house. The back yard being fenced made it easy to let them out. Kim has a well stocked house with enough coffee for at least a few days, and snacks for that critical first night after a day of travel. The house was clean and exactly like her photos. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again if needed.

Benjamin was an excellent host! The condo was exactly as described. It was nearby to local attractions and restaurants. Will definitely use again in the future

Staying at Madisson’s apartment as a foreigner was one of the best decisions i could make. Her responses were quick, instructions clear, the place was absolutely comfortable! The bed…. Had amazing sleep!! The place has a beautiful view to the canal, minutes away from that scenery. 15 min walk from downtown, 1 min walk from bus station, so it has a great location. The building is completly private so you would not get in with out your access key, that made me feel really safe. Had the absolute best experience to have her as my host and feeling comfortable in her place away from home. Definetely would recommend and would come back!!!!

Christina was extremely kind and extremely responsive whenever we had a question. The apartment is charming, spacious, clean, and very nicely decorated. She left us plenty of coffee and other goodies to use. The location is in a charming neighborhood just minutes from downtown which makes it very accessible to everywhere you want to go. Overall a wonderful place to stay, I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Beautiful home, everything you need to feel at home. The property has areas to just sit and relax. The bird feeders around the deck make for a peaceful time to just sit and enjoy nature. The owner has put in a lot of time and dedication to ensure you have an enjoyable place to just sit and enjoy nature and your friends/family. Not to mention it sits of the road a bit so the beautiful night sky is awesome to view from the deck. If you want to unwind and just do “ nothing “ but float in the pool and watch the clouds and life pass you by, this I your place. We spent a girls w/e there and had a beautiful time together.

Great place to stay. Was centrally located to our needs and activities. Clean and comfortable. Check-in and check-out was easy, clear instructions. Peaceful setting on the lake. We would stay again on our next visit.

Joshua was very prompt to answer questions. His place was comfy and immaculate!

Kris’s place is really special and makes for a memorable stay. I don’t know how she does it but her maximalist interior design all works perfectly together. Things are joyful and fun and you constantly discover new things. Master bedroom bed was quite comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

I had to come in for business and there were a number of us, so we ended up all get accomodations through CozySuites at the Penrose apartments. We also have a person who lives there so it was more convenient. Everything about the place, building and surroundings were just perfect. No issues at all and everything was comfy and cozy. There are lots of restaurants in the area and lots of walkable things to do. I would stay there again without even thinking about it - this is the best option around!

This place was in the perfect location. We stayed as a family that wanted to see the zoo and children’s museum. We were able to walk to ice cream and breakfast in the morning. We enjoyed spending time at the pool and playing games in the club room. I would definitely recommend this place for a variety of different family types.

Carly, thank you for allowing my family to celebrate my oldest daughter's college graduation in your home! We had plenty of space and your help throughout the visit was immediate, kind and appreciated!

Perfect for my needs! Cozy, comfortable. Close to shopping and restaurants. Thanks for the great stay!

Our stay here was one of my favorites in Indianapolis so far. The kitchen was VERY well stocked. We have dietary restrictions and so having a kitchen that was ready for us & functional was amazing. It eliminated all of the “eating out” issues we usually face when traveling. Kathy was responsive to any questions we had, and even offered to help us find sticks for roasting s’mores! I am environmentally sensitive, and this home was an A+ in my book! Thanks again!

Me and my family stayed here for the Indy 500. House was in a calm neighborhood, and check in was extremely easy. Carol was extremely nice and communicative. Hope to stay here again next year!

Location was perfect for us and other visitors as we were there to attend the 500. Easy access to our normal route to the track. Loved being able to grill out, a common Saturday event for these weekends. Thanks goes out to our host, Cara as everything was solid.

We moved to Texas last year so it was nice to return back to Carmel and visit with family and friends. The location was very central to walking paths and many restaurants and watering holes. The place was clean and very well organized. The amenities were perfect! We felt right at home and I would highly recommend staying here for your next adventure to Carmel, whether for business or leisure! Shone & Renee

We stayed at Laura's place for our son's graduation from Butler University. We were happy to have such a nice space to gather our family for the weekend (pet friendly too!). We ate dinner out on the cute back patio and appreciate the expandable dining table inside for planning cards into the night. :)

This cozy little house was in the perfect location for our stay in Broad Ripple. We were easily with-in walking distance to the Moman Trail and all the restaurants in the area. There was a nice park a block away for the dog. The street was quiet and residential. We had no trouble parking 2 cars in front of the house. There was seating for 4 in the living room which is always appreciated. Communication was exceptional, and the house was clean. There was even a nice basket of snacks awaiting our arrival. If I can to knit pick on anything - maybe some new pillows for the beds would be a nice addition. We would not hesitate to book this house again.
