About this property

Quaker Hill Cottage is a 70 year old home located on a private estate in the historic Quaker Hill Neighborhood. Enjoy the peaceful environment surrounded by mature vegetation and active wildlife. This cozy cottage is only steps away from a trailhead that leads to several nature preserve trails & a beautiful waterfall.

The Historic Downtown and Depot Districts are both just a mile away or you can visit Earlham College or explore the Antique Alley nearby.

Some things to note:
There are only 3 parking spaces available to guests (additional parking options are available offsite.)

Only guests who are booked at the cottage are to be at the cottage (no additional guests, no visitors, and no parties.)

There is an Amazon Firestick that you can sign in to with your Netflix, Amazon, etc. account (no cable).

This is an old house & we have tried to make it as cozy as possible, but there are definitely cracks & imperfections throughout the entire house.

Late arrivals are absolutely fine!! We simply give you a code for entry so you don’t need to connect with us to get the key. Please keep in mind, however that we have set the check in time to before 10pm, however, because we will most likely be asleep after that & unable to answer questions.

Please be respectful of the neighbors by not leaving personal items out in the front yard or on the front porch. Items such as coolers, towels, baby strollers, etc. can be an eyesore. If you do need to leave personal items outside, please place them on the side porch or back porch.

Upon arrival: There will be enough supplies such as toilet paper, paper towels, and shower supplies to get you started for your stay.

Beautiful cozy cottage

We stayed here for a weekend in the fall to use as a place to stay outside of Indy. It was a beautiful spot, especially with all the fall leaves. The owner was super responsive to any questions I had beforehand. Would definitely recommend!

Overall pleased

We were there for our son's wedding. The kitchen was a little unorganized. Clothes were left in the dryer from the previous stay and we had to buy dish detergent. We would recommend mirror in some of the bedrooms because when you have a lot of people there it was hard to get ready. Other than that, it was a nice stay.is hard to get ready.

Cute House

Property very clean and cute. Decorated as a a fairytale cottage. Our biggest complaint it was not advertised - The cottage had a spiral staircase to second bathroom and 3 bedrooms We are seniors and the staircase was hard to navigate. The only other complaint no bedroom had a bedside lamp or light. Each had a stand but no lamp. This made it difficult to see at night if you needed to find the bathroom. But over all a nice house nice location

A Wonderful Weekend

This property is beautiful and the house was very clean. The only thing I recommend is for it listed as handicap not friendly. I could not go up and down the stairs because I have some severe back problems. The stairs are steep and winding. However because there are 2 bedrooms and everything I need on the floor we entered, I had no problem staying there. It was a very nice place and we enjoyed it very much. The location is convenient to downtown Richmond. We had no problem finding it. The owners were super nice about having the gate open for us. Overall, it definitely was a 5 star place.

Very Satisfied

The house was clean and very cozy. We had a great family time there. Enjoyed the bottle of wine that was at the house on our arrival. Would suggest new steps from the parking lot or maybe a handrail.

Nice Cottage

The owner did not know that we were coming, even though I received a confirmation email after booking. I also received a confirmation of our stay at this location several days prior to our arrival. The property was not cleaned before our arrival on Sunday evening. I contacted the host through VRBO and stated our disappointment with the cleanliness. The beds were obviously slept in and the towels were not replaced from the previous guests. My family stayed at a hotel that night and the host was very nice and refunded the cost of my hotel. The cottage was very nice, but the stairway to the lower level needs to be addressed. The spiral staircase railing is loose and a screw is missing. It just needs some maintenance to be safe.

Perfect location and plenty of space

The pro’s: The property was perfectly located and had plenty of space. Walking in felt comfortable and relaxing. Not super modern but nice. We had a party of 7 and we didn’t feel crowded at all. The cons: the spiral staircase was very difficult to navigate especially with luggage. Three of the five bedrooms were downstairs and that staircase was not easy on us. There was an alternate outside entry but the stairs were slick to navigate at well. The downstairs bathroom didn’t appear to have any outlets so that meant we had to go to a different room to complete getting ready. Overall… it was a nice stay and suited us very well. We appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine the owners provided as well. It was a sweet gesture.

Quiet, beautiful home and neighborhood

We really enjoyed our stay. Check in was super easy. There was plenty of the essentials in the house (shampoo/conditioner/body wash/t.p.) so that was nice. There were 5 adults that stayed here, 2 couples, and we all had our own space if we needed it and could chill together as well. It was a nice house, in a quiet neighborhood so that was good. Really our only complaint was about the beds. My husband and I tried out 2 different ones and they were super loud, firm, and uncomfortable. Like you couldn't move an inch without the bed squeaking. The other couple with us said their bed was loud and not very comfortable either. We got very little sleep so that was unfortunate. All in all it was a nice place but it would really benefit from having nicer mattresses.
