The Garden Retreat is a 19-acre farm with a 100-year-old, beautifully renovated farmhouse on the southeast side of Indianapolis. The Bed & Breakfast offers two elegant suites for overnight guests. The suites are designed with comfort and quiet in mind.
Gardenview, on the second floor, has a king-size bed and private bath with double shower and contemporary vessel sink. Guests are surprised by the balcony that overlooks the south gardens. Decorated in rich browns and greens, this spacious suite is perfect for a quiet, relaxing get-away.
Pondside,on the first floor, has a queen-size bed and private bath with two pedestal sinks and a large tiled shower. The large window looks right into the koi pond outside. This suite evokes the feel of earlier times with the black and white tile and Art Nouveau Louis Icart prints. Pondside is great for a cozy and comfortable retreat.
Both suites include custom made robes for guests to use during their stay. The robes are also available for purchase. Linens are all high-quality Egyptian cotton. Toiletries are from Bath & Body Works. Of course, both suites include TV's, CD and DVD players. A selection of disks is available in the library. Wireless internet access is now installed.
Breakfast at The Garden Retreat is served on the innkeeper's mother's china in the dining room looking through french doors onto the south gardens. Breakfast features wholesome midwestern cooking which always includes an egg dish with fruit, muffins or pastry, bacon or sausage, juice, and coffee or tea. Often, vegetables harvested from our garden are used in your breakfast. We also offer Continental or No Breakfast options, of course at a discounted rate.
The Garden Retreat is also available for small group events for groups of 20 or less. As a private dining room, we can offer our complete attention to your group. We limit events to one per day so there are no other guests "waiting for your table". It is a perfect place for that leisurely gathering. Take a break between the main course and dessert, and wander through the gardens.
The Garden Retreat is so easy to find. We are just minutes outside Indianapolis just south of U.S. 52 on Carroll Road. We are 10 minutes from I-70, I-465, or I-74. A country retreat experience is really just a short drive away!
