We absolutely love the Stone Soup Inn! My husband and I come back every October as part of our anniversary road trip and love everything about it. The rooms are uniquely beautiful (we love the lofts), and the staff are so welcoming, passionate, and love getting to know their guests. We feel right at home and we look forward to our next stay!

This was the first time my wife and I have stayed at a bed and breakfast, and we loved it! The host and his wife were the kindest of people. We would absolutely stay again! I would recommend for any couple or family looking to have a unique, fun stay in Indianapolis.
We stayed in the Victorian room. Tons of space and extremely classy.

This is the most beautiful and welcoming place I have ever stayed in while traveling! The lovely ladies at the desk here very welcoming and helpful. They went above and beyond to make me and those in my party feel like we were right at home! The breakfast was delicious, with even fresh-made waffles brought to us table-side. The inn is decorated expertly provide a beautiful, yet homey space. The lovely lady at the desk even did a “photo-shoot” for myself and my friends when we returned from our event! The rooms were also clean and included all necessary materials for a comfortable stay. The rates were also very reasonable, especially considering all the amenities and hospitality provided. If you are in Indianapolis, I highly, highly recommend this be your place to stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This was a great choice for walking to the fieldhouse (1.5 miles). The room and staff were great, but we had to share a bathroom with another room. That didn't seem a problem until we woke up this morning, and the other guest was in there for a very long time. That got to be pretty uncomfortable. In addition, breakfast was just ok. I'm used to really special breakfasts at a B&B. This one had the typical things you would find at a Comfort Inn minus the hot food-- cold cereal, breads, fruit, juice, rolls, yogurt, hardboiled eggs. It was very attractively and elegantly arranged. We will probably stay here again.
