This pet-free Mid-Century home, which sleeps up to 6, is in a quiet neighborhood 3 blocks north of Earlham College, 2.5 miles from Wayne County Fairgrounds and 3.7 miles from Reid Hospital. Across the street is a wooded park with playground, rentable shelters, and basketball court. We offer discounts for weekly & monthly stays, when booked in advance. For stays longer than 14 days, occupancy is capped at 5 (with up to 3 children age 12 and older) and you must submit a reservation request.

The space
The living room features a gas fireplace with a freestanding screen and Samsung Smart TV. It also has a queen sleeper sofa that sleeps 2, coffee table and two side chairs.

The fully equipped kitchen has an electric stove top, oven, full-sized refrigerator and dishwasher. Small appliances include a microwave, Keurig coffeemaker and toaster (other appliances available on request).

The bathroom has a deep soaking tub. The unit also has a washer and dryer.

The master bedroom has a queen bed, dresser, recliner, desk, desk chair, electric fireplace and Fire TV that guests can use to access their own streaming accounts such as Prime, Netflix or Hulu.

The next-largest bedroom has two twin beds that we have used a specially made kit to band together into a king-size bed, but we can separate them if you prefer (just let us know in advance if you’d like us to do that). That bedroom also has a small sitting area, an electric fireplace, a library of books for your use during your stay, a desk, and a comfortable desk chair.

The smallest bedroom has one twin bed, a dresser and a bookcase, but no desk.

Where you’ll be

Richmond, Indiana, United States

Richmond's quiet west side was settled by Quakers who founded nearby Earlham College (three blocks to the south) in 1847. Some of the original Quaker homes include the beautiful Mendenhall brick home three doors south of this location, the Dennis house on the south side of the block on West Main, and the Peacock home on Peacock Road a block and a half to the north). These homes are nestled among the World War I-era homes to the east, the "kit" bungalows on nearby Bungalow Hill (where we live) and sprawling, post-World War II developments immediately to the west.

Just across the street is a lovely, wooded city park (Mary Scott Park) that’s great for walking, but also has picnic tables, grills, a covered shelter, swings, a playground and a cabin that can be rented for events through the city’s Parks and Recreation Department.

Adjacent to the park is a basketball court, and about seven blocks away is the Corky Cordell Municipal Pool (do a browser search to see current hours and a complete description), open during the summer with a very affordable daily admission fee — ask to use our beach towels!

Within a few minutes' walk, guests will find a full-service grocery store (Needler's) as well as numerous small restaurants, from Mancino's (grinders and pizzas) and the westside Pizza King (a regional chain) to chains like Arby's and Domino's. The city's public swimming pool is just a few blocks away, and it's also a short walk to Earlham College's Wellness Center, currently closed to visitors due to COVID, but normally offering day passes for a fee.

Within a few blocks’ walk you also will find two convenience stores (Speedway and Village Pantry), full-service salon (Fifth & Mane) and an wonderful, old-fashioned hardware store (Mendenhall’s, with great prices on candy bars!).

Also close are fast food restaurants (Arby’s and Speedy Cafe inside the Speedway).

A little further away (still walkable), you will find popular locally owned restaurants and other businesses in both historic Old Richmond and the thriving, trendy Depot District. In Old Richmond, you will find the Old Richmond Inn (fine dining, open for lunch and dinner), 5th Street Coffee & Bagels (open for breakfast and lunch), Cosmotique Salon, and Therapeutic Solutions (a therapeutic massage studio). In the Depot District, Look for Little Sheba’s (best known for sandwiches with quirky names, as well as salads, spaghetti, and gigantic brownies), Roscoe’s Coffee Bar and Tap Room, The Firehouse BBQ and Blues, The Cordial Cork (a wine bar with a limited menu), Americana Pizza, The Italian Market, Gigglebox Sweets Bakery, The Art of Hair Salon, Two Sisters Bookstore, Richmond Furniture Outlet and many other unique small shops.

To the north on NW Fifth Street is Clara’s Pizza King, which features a double-decker bus outfitted with tables.

A somewhat longer walk or short drive away to the west on National Road are Great Wall Chinese Buffet, Sunshine Cafe (which you could call a greasy spoon), El Rodeo (Mexican food, obviously), Subway, Dairy Queen, Burger King, CVS and several stores in the small strip mall where Great Wall is located.

I am a well-traveled journalist-turned-journalism professor, now retired, and there's nothing I love more than welcoming guests to stay in the kind of place I always wished I could find in my travels. If you stay with us, you also are likely to see my sweet partner and husband, Mickey, maintaining the grounds. We couldn’t keep our Airbnbs going without his skill, ingenuity and hard work. You may also meet my gracious assistant, Macel (pronounced MAY-sul), who gets full credit for any and all guests’ comments about our places being sparkling clean.
