The Retro Farm Ranch — Sleeps 14, Huge Hot Tub

Super fun locationWill def check out other themed spots on the property

Lots of fun stuff to do. We were in town for the race and it was very easy getting there and back.

The property met my expectations for cleanliness, cost, and ample space (since those were the highest on my priority list) The other items were over and above. The decor was really cool! The game room and the fire pit were definitely nice to have. We didn’t use the hot tub, but if we were staying longer than one night I’m sure we would have loved it.

I really wanted to love this property, but the sheer number of issues made it impossible. Upon arrival, the house was visibly filthy; the floors were so dirty that I had to put my shoes back on and message the host for a broom. We found dust bunnies in every room, dead bugs in the corners and kitchen light fixtures, and a refrigerator stocked with dirty plasticware and open condiments.The lack of maintenance continued outdoors with knee-high weeds on the patio and bird droppings covering the tables. To top it off, we discovered a leak from the back shower into the basement on our final day. Seeing visible mouse bait traps in the closets and kitchen was the final straw. For the price we paid, the lack of basic upkeep and oversight is completely unacceptable.

Pictures could use updating to show games that are no longer in the game room or in use as that was a main reason we chose this place. Hot tub also needed addressed upon arrival but owners did respond and come clean. TV in main room did not have working remote so we could not use that as needed. We also did not have very much hot water for more than one person to shower daily. Price was nearly doubled due to events in Indianapolis and I do not feel it was worth the price we paid. The area iseasy access and was convenient for getting to downtown each day.

Clean and very well kept...Definitely will be booking again...

We absolutely loved this rental. Everything about it was perfect for our stay and we intend to use it again.

Great location and very comfortable home. The retro theme was very cool and actually, quite amazing. We had a great time!

Everything with this stay was wonderful!

Very cool property. A bit “off the main grid” but that works out perfectly. 20 min drive to where ever we needed to go. But far out enough to feel remote. The decor of the ranch is so fun…. Stepping into a 50s/60s diner/travel hotel/hippie ranch. Waking to the animals, rooster crows and sunshine was like a story book. If ever in this area again, would definitely stay here again.

Check in was super easy and the kitchen facilities served our needs. We loved spending the night here before spending the day at the Indiana Stare Fair!

We had a great time. Retro Ranch was fun to catch up and reminisce, like meeting at Grandma's house.

We were returning home to Kansas from a vacation at Niagara Falls. Stopped here for the night. The kids loved the house, especially the game room!

Very nice place

We absolutely loved this property! As soon as we walked in the Retro Ranch house I was in love. The decor was amazing! We plan to bring our kids back sometime! We love country life so this location was special to us!

Ketchy Mid-Century Modern was exactly as advertised. Much larger than expected. Wife and I, 5 grown kids, 4 grandkids under 4 - and it didn't seem small. Theme was fun, and yet everything worked - games, juke box, etc. It wasnt just for show. Communication with the host was beyond excellent. We only stayed one night, and the only drawback is that we couldn't spend more. We definitely would stay here again. Honestly, this is what VRBO should be, a private owner having fun with a design and going out of their way to do the small things (like robes for the hot tub) that no corporate owner would. We felt at home and appreciated.

Great sleeping location for a family getaway to Indianapolis

My friends and I were looking for a spot close to home, that would allow us all to unplug for a night. One couple has a toddler and this was the first night away without him. It was perfect. We were cost enough that they could relax and feel like they could get home quickly. But they were still able to relax and enjoy some time with friends. We played games, has a bonfire, and enjoyed the hot tub.

House is spacious! Also liked that sound didn’t travel much. Guys were able to play games while I napped and didn’t hear laughing or game noises. The deer in the orange collar cracks me up and we pet her (with permission). Stayed here for Royal Rumble and was a great location to keep us out of down town but close enough that it was easy to get to. Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!

We found ourselves in IND for a bit of snowy weather and had a great two night stay with Aaron. The home is fun and outfitted well. My husband and I appreciated the fenced in yard for our dogs and the generously sized fireplace in the living room. It was a lovely stay and we would recommend!

We stayed at the property for a few days while visiting local family over Christmas. Our group consisted of two adult couples, two adult children, and three dogs. We found it quite suitable for our needs, as each party had their own room. The fourth bedroom is actually a bed on the enclosed sun porch with a curtain dividing it from the rest of the porch. It was nice that each proper bedroom had their own TV in case somebody wanted to get away. The wifi was strong and stable. There were lots of electronic arcade games as well as a huge TV in the converted garage which serves as the game room. There are two full baths (not sure why the listing says three) and a powder room. The decor was truly a retro theme, with musical furnishings and decor which added to the fun vibe. There is a hot tub and a fire pit outside, neither of which we used. The backyard was enclosed with a fence which was very much appreciated by us and our dogs. We had an issue with initially being unable to find the bath towels, but replacements were delivered immediately once we told the owner. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time at the Retro Ranch. The decor was beautiful and very clean. The property felt very secluded despite other properties being close by. Aaron was very responsive and super understanding when a mishap occurred. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy stay.

We couldn't have chosen a better place for our M-F trip to Indy. As a vintage fan, I loved that this home holds its vintage charm as well as modern features. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the rooms, photos do not do them justice. The house was clean & inviting. Beds were comfortable, linens were clean, & extras were provided. Each room has plenty of storage space. Tvs throughout the house all worked great, which helped when traveling with multiple kids. The master bedroom has a vintage TV converted into a fireplace, which was a nice touch. The kitchen is beautiful, & the modern "vintage style" appliances were perfect for the theme. I loved the ceramic tile ceiling! We loved having the option to eat at the kitchen bar or the dining room. The dining room has a "candle lit" chandelier, which helps create a warm, intimate feel. The game room is great. The kids and adults in our group enjoyed this addition. Our trip was during the first cold week of the season, but the house stayed perfectly heated. The private backyard area is perfect for get togethers. Despite there being other nearby units, we never heard noise or experienced any issues. Our family felt safe staying here. We travel multiple times per year & prefer short-term rentals. Aaron had the best communication of any place we have stayed thus far! We did not have any issues or needs during our trip, I feel confident Aaron would have handled these to our satisfaction if we had.

The approach to the property is unassuming but the property itself is delightful. There are a couple of separate buildings on the property and we stayed in the first one, which had a fantastic retro theme. Excellent entertainment options with a game room in the garage, a hot tub in a secluded garden area. Overall the stay was excellent and i thoroughly recommend a stay here to any and all!

Host was quick to respond. We had an issue with the oven not working, our host had this taken care of in a very short amount of time. The place was as advertised, had a good stay and enjoyed the location.
