five-star reviews

Across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com. Three years. Three homes. Not one review below five stars.

No. 01 Why Book Direct

Four reasons to skip the middleman.

Save up to 15%

Same home, same keys, lower total. Airbnb and Vrbo add a service fee on top; book direct and it disappears.

One direct line

Call or text (317) 661-1864 and Quinn picks up. No bots, no tickets, no routing menus, no call centers.

Flexible dates

Two nights to a hundred and eighty. Weekend getaways, 13-week travel contracts, insurance displacement — same homes, same team.

Best rate, matched

Find the same home on the same dates listed lower on Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com, and we’ll match it. Send a screenshot within 24 hours of your direct booking to CircleCityBnBs@gmail.com.

A three-night Olive stay: ~$885 direct. ~$1,015 on Airbnb. You keep ~$130.

That’s ~15% back in your pocket
No. 02 The Portfolio

Three homes. Three distinct stories.

Not interchangeable. Each was chosen, renovated, and furnished with intention. Pick the one that fits your trip — or try another next time.

1529 S Olive St · Fountain Square

The Olive

From $225/night · Monthly rates for 30+ day stays
3 nights from ~$885 direct — save ~$130 vs. Airbnb

Three master suites. Three private bathrooms. One hundred inches of TV.

A modern two-story home, full remodel. Every bedroom has its own en-suite — no one in your group draws the short straw. Waterfall quartz in the kitchen, a 100" TV with a PS5 in the living room, a spa bath in the primary, and a first-floor bedroom with en-suite for guests who'd rather skip the stairs. Sleeps six. A nine-minute walk to Fountain Square Theatre.

1900 bones. 2015 renovation. A bubbling brook in the backyard.

Gut-renovated to the studs in 2015. Reclaimed barn beams across the ceiling, original hardwood refinished by hand, Carrara marble behind the range, and a glass hood that catches the afternoon light. Out back: a fenced garden with tomatoes, peppers, a Traeger grill, and a small brook that actually bubbles. A nineteen-minute walk to Lucas Oil Stadium on Colts game day.

A 2020 new-build. Sixteen-foot ceilings. No stairs, anywhere.

Everything on one level, vaulted to fourteen and sixteen feet at the peak. An 86" TV with surround sound that one guest reviewed by photographing the model number on their way out. A full spice rack in the kitchen, a guest book in the foyer, and a quiet residential block a short drive from downtown. Attached two-car garage with a Level 2 Tesla charger.

No. 03 The Location

Closer to everything than you'd think.

Everything we host is a short walk or drive from the places most people come to Indianapolis for. Lucas Oil Stadium for the Colts, Gainbridge Fieldhouse for the Pacers, the Indiana Convention Center for Gen Con, FDIC, and the thirty-odd conventions that fill downtown each year.

On the medical side: the downtown hospital corridor — IU Health, Eskenazi, Ascension St. Vincent — is a short drive from all three homes. Eli Lilly's corporate campus is just across the canal. And Fountain Square itself, where two of the three properties sit, has become one of the most reliably interesting neighborhoods in the city.

No. 04 Extended Stays

Corporate, medical, and insurance housing.

There's a part of the Indianapolis housing market that Airbnb doesn't really serve: the 30 to 180 day stay. Our three homes are a better answer than an apartment-hotel. Full houses, private backyards, real kitchens, and rates that work with company travel budgets and insurance stipends.

Track 3a

Relocation & Corporate

Consultants, executives, and project teams on 30 to 180 day assignments. Net-30 invoicing, W-9 on request, consolidated billing, and a single point of contact. Guests from Eli Lilly, Roche, Cook Medical, and Salesforce have stayed with us.

Request a rate sheet →
Track 3b

Travel Medical

Travel nurses, allied health, and physicians on 13-week contracts. Stipend-friendly rates for stays of four weeks or longer. A short drive to IU Health, Eskenazi, and Ascension St. Vincent. Fully furnished the day you arrive.

Check monthly availability →
Track 3c

Insurance Housing

For families displaced by fire, flood, or major renovation. We work with adjusters and homeowners, accept all major carriers, and can turn around a conditional lease in 24 hours. Three-bedroom homes that actually feel like homes.

No. 05 Event Weekends

The weekends you plan six months out.

Indianapolis packs most of its peak demand into a handful of weekends each year. Here's when to book.

May 22–25, 2026

The Indy 500

The biggest weekend of the year. Book 6 to 12 months out. All three homes sell out; the Sanders fills first. See race-weekend details →
Sept – Jan

Colts Home Games

The Sanders is a 19-minute walk to Lucas Oil. The Olive and Spruce are a 6-minute drive. Sunday games book 12 weeks ahead.

March Madness

NCAA Tournament

Indianapolis hosts regularly — including Final Fours and regional rounds. A three-minute drive from the Sanders to Gainbridge.

Jul 30 – Aug 2, 2026

Gen Con & Conventions

Gen Con, FDIC, FFA, and the rest. The Sanders is a three-minute drive from the Convention Center; the others are six. See Gen Con weekend →
No. 06 Guest Voices

Two hundred and five five-star reviews.

Six recent reviews — two per home — pulled straight from our Airbnb and Vrbo host dashboards.

★★★★★

A terrifically done VRBO that is a good value and well laid out. The three bedrooms with king beds and bathrooms is terrific. The fact there is a usable garage is the icing on the cake. Quinn did a nice job assisting us and providing excellent customer service.

Jason · Vrbo The Olive · Fountain Square stay · March 2026
★★★★★

Quinn is the best host I have ever met. He goes above and beyond to accommodate his guest. The home is extremely clean and the furnishings are very nice and comfortable. The beds are like sleeping on a cloud.

Kasandra · Airbnb The Olive · Return visit · January 2026
★★★★★

The house was spotless, cozy, and very thoughtfully prepared with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Communication was warm, quick, and enthusiastic, and his recommendations for things to do in the area were great. Highly recommended.

Maria · Airbnb The Sanders · Indianapolis visit · March 2026
★★★★★

The place was fantastic! In a great location and close to downtown. Walkable to a Pacers game. The garage and electric car charger made the trip extremely convenient. Would 100% recommend and stay again.

Adam · Airbnb The Sanders · Pacers game weekend · March 2026
★★★★★

The beds were so comfortable that I took a picture of the brand so I could buy one. Loved the 85 inch TV with surround sound. I would definitely stay here again.

Justin · Vrbo The Spruce · Long weekend · November 2025
★★★★★

Exactly what I needed and the EV charger was a big plus. Great TVs.

No. 07 How We Operate

A professional operation, end to end.

The reason 205 guests have left five-star reviews isn't that we got lucky three hundred times in a row. It's a small stack of professional tools that handle booking, pricing, cleaning, distribution, and response — so every guest gets the same experience, whether they're here for a weekend or a 13-week contract.

Booking Engine

Direct booking

Powered by OwnerRez

Every booking confirms in real time against one source of truth. Live calendar, live availability, same-day confirmation. No double-bookings, no lag, no waiting on an agent.

Dynamic Pricing

Fair, automated rates

Powered by PriceLabs

Rates adjust automatically for demand, day of week, event weekends, and seasonality. You see the right price for the dates you're choosing — not a guess, not a manual lookup, not a yield-managed surprise at checkout.

Turnover Cleaning

Professional cleaning, every time

Powered by Turno

Cleanings are scheduled and tracked through Turno after every stay. Same checklist, same standard, same crew network — whether you're in for two nights or two months. Photo documentation between turns.

Distribution

Verified on every platform

Airbnb · Vrbo · Booking.com

Verified host on all three major platforms. Superhost on Airbnb, Premier Host on Vrbo. 205 five-star reviews across the portfolio. Same homes on every channel — with a lower total when you book direct.

No. 08 About

About Circle City BnBs.

Quinn Owner-operator · Indianapolis

I'm Quinn — owner-operator of Circle City BnBs since 2023. Three hand-curated homes in Fountain Square and Bates-Hendricks, each set up the way I'd want to stay myself. 5.0 Superhost rating across the portfolio. I answer the phone myself at (317) 661-1864, stock the pantries, and treat every booking like a neighbor walking in the door.

Circle City BnBs is a small Indianapolis hospitality company with three professionally managed homes in Fountain Square and Bates-Hendricks — two of the city's most walkable, most established residential neighborhoods.

We serve a mix of weekend leisure, event weekends, and extended stays for corporate, medical, and insurance housing. Each home was selected, renovated, and furnished with intention. We're a Superhost on Airbnb, a Premier Host on Vrbo, and a verified host on Booking.com. Across three years of hosting, we've crossed 205 five-star reviews.

Our direct-booking site exists for two reasons: to offer the same homes for about fifteen percent less than the major platforms charge, and to give corporate and insurance clients a direct relationship with a local operator — no apartment-hotel contracts, no call centers, no middleman.

Founded and operated by Quinn. Reachable at (317) 661-1864 or CircleCityBnBs@gmail.com.

No. 09 Questions, Answered

Things people usually ask.

We charge the same nightly rate everywhere — Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and here. The difference is the service fee the platforms add on top, which typically runs around fifteen percent. Book direct and you skip that fee entirely. Same home, same keys, lower total.

Direct bookings:

  • 14+ days before check-in — full refund.
  • 7 to 14 days before check-in — 50% refund.
  • Inside 7 days — non-refundable.

Want full flexibility? Add the optional trip-protection coverage at checkout from a third-party provider for refundable cancellation up to the day of arrival. Corporate and insurance bookings have separate terms documented in the lease.

Three line items, all shown before you confirm:

  • Cleaning fee — flat per stay, varies by home (typically $115 to $165).
  • Indiana state & Marion County lodging taxes — currently 17%, set by the state and county.
  • Trip protection — optional, only if you want refundable cancellation.

No service fee, no booking fee, no resort fee. Stays of 30 nights or longer are exempt from lodging taxes by Indiana law — a real saving for corporate, medical, and insurance guests.

Two nights most of the year. Longer during peak weekends — the Indy 500, Colts home games, major conventions. We also welcome 30+ day stays for corporate, medical, and insurance guests.
Call or text the owner directly at (317) 661-1864. We're local Indianapolis owner-operators, not a remote management company — most issues are resolved within the hour. If a real problem with the home affects your stay, we make it right.
Yes — it's one of the reasons we built this site. We offer Net-30 invoicing, W-9s on request, consolidated billing across multiple stays, and 24-hour turnaround on insurance displacement bookings. Start with the corporate inquiry form or email us at CircleCityBnBs@gmail.com.
Yes. We accept all major credit cards and offer Net-30 invoicing for corporate and insurance guests. W-9 available on request. Consolidated billing across multiple stays or properties is available.
All major carriers — contact us to verify yours. We can turn around a conditional lease in 24 hours and work directly with adjusters and homeowners.
One pet under 50 lbs is welcome at The Sanders only, on stays of 30 nights or longer, booked directly through us. A $5 per night pet fee plus a $200 one-time deep-clean fee applies. Restricted breeds: Pit Bull, Rottweiler, Doberman, German Shepherd, Akita, Chow Chow, and Wolf hybrids. The Olive and The Spruce remain pet-free.
Free parking at all three homes. The Olive and Sanders have detached two-car garages. The Spruce has an attached two-car garage with a Level 2 Tesla/EV charger. Street parking is also available.
Self check-in with a keypad. Check in after 3:00 PM, check out by 10:00 AM. No keys to manage, no front desk. You'll receive your entry code the day before arrival.
Same home, same keys, lower total. When you book through Airbnb or Vrbo you pay a service fee on top — usually around fifteen percent. Book direct and that fee disappears. We're verified on both platforms so you can check our reviews there before you book here.
Absolutely. Call or text (317) 661-1864, or email CircleCityBnBs@gmail.com. We respond to inquiries within an hour during normal hours.

A home in Indianapolis.

Three homes. Three distinct stories. Whichever fits the trip.
