As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

Sometimes, we get a strangely specific itch: we want to see what it’s like to go all-out and really splurge on a getaway. Some folks scratch that itch by going on cruises, or by whisking away to a distant resort paradise far, far away. Would you believe us if we told you that you don’t actually need to leave Indiana for a decadent escape on par with those? In fact, there are numerous luxurious rentals eligible around the Hoosier state for you to choose as the vacation spot of your dreams. This one is one of our very favorites, and it’s perfect for either a romantic getaway for two or a group experience.
