About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Settle in at the Petite Retreat.

The Petite Retreat has everything you would want or need in a 360 square foot tiny home. It sits back off the road on a large lot shaded by a 100 year old Oak tree. The high vaulted ceiling is beautiful and has a full kitchen to cook in, equipped with a dishwasher, stove, microwave and refrigerator. A stackable washer dryer combo is also available at your convenience. The road has minimal traffic and is a very short walk (900 ft) to enjoy the park, walking/biking trail or White river. The trail is a great spot if you are a runner or to come stay for a marathon/race. If you love to relax and drop a line in the water to fish this is the spot for you. This home is also 1 mile from Ball State University and Ball Memorial Hospital. Conveniently located near downtown shopping and restaurants. Many Ball State parents have enjoyed coming in and staying with us. Getting married or need a weekend away without the kids, come for a private getaway. Looking for somewhere to remotely work? We are happy to host extended stays!

Awesome property
I loved this house (clean, plenty of space for 1 or 2, well stocked, organized, etc.) There is a 13 page contract to sign (wear and tear is not defined and the owner may enter the property at any time, no cause needed) plus damage insurance that you cannot opt out of (at least I did not see a way to do so).

Quaint and clean
The property is very quaint but cozy and very clean. Everything you need is there. The outside of the property is well maintained although some of the surrounding properties are a bit run down. I would definitely stay there again. I would recommend the owner install a soap dish in the shower.

A Lovely Tiny Home
Our Vrbo accommodations were just amazing. They exceeded our expectations for our extended visit in the area. The photographs on Vrbo are exactly as what you find when you stay. It was a wonderful, quiet, comfortable place to call home. Thanks for making our stay a truly enjoyable.

Petite Retreat was a Treat :)
We stayed at the Petite Retreat for a wedding that we had in Muncie Indiana and this adorable cottage did not disappoint! Imagine an upgraded hotel suite with full size kitchen and laundry with privacy. Since it was just my husband and I, we didn't need a lot of space and with wedding activities to attend, we knew we would be coming and going. The location was right by Ball State (definitely walkable) and plenty of restaurants to enjoy. There was also a walking trail with park right by the house which we enjoyed. Mari provided some great recommendations for places also to go which was awesome! Everything in the home was labeled and organized for easy finding. Towels/bed linens and even coffee was provided which was wonderful! I have no complaints whatsoever and would definitely go back if in the area. Much better option for a couple compared to a hotel :) Thank you so much Mari!

It was perfect!! Absolutely wonderful. Tip - Put towels in the dryer when you take a shower. Then you have a nice warm towel when you get out.

Tiny House - BIG COMFORT
Second time at this property and we loved it even more this time. Stayed once with my daughter and once with my partner and we all enjoyed the Petite Retreat so very much. The host is delightful and even had a gift for us for being repeat guests. Can’t wait to stay there again! Thanks Mari!
