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.

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!

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!

Sweet Petite
The Petite retreat was perfect for my long term stay in Muncie while I took a 3-week painting class. Mari was helpful and quick to respond when I had a question. The home was well kept and had excellent amenities available with a book providing great detail about surrounding restaurants and activities. I would recommend the Petite Retreat to solo travelers or even a couple.

An awesome option in Muncie!
My wife and I needed a place to stay after finding a lack of hotel rooms available in town and the Petite Retreat saved the day. I'm thrilled to see a great VRBO option like this in Muncie. It was incredibly clean and the host was easy to work with. I highly recommend it.

Petite (Bike) Retreat
Visiting Muncie to see old sites and to travel part of the Cardinal Rail Trail. Property location ideal for access to Trail, restaurant for evening meal (and Starbuck's for breakfast/starter coffee!). Owner was very available by message and rapidly responsive to questions and concerns during our stay! Small retreat that has everything - especially appreciated ability to do mid-vacation laundry loads!

Perfect cottage for two
New, clean, well-organized, and a perfect location for us, or anyone visiting Ball State University. White River Greenway for walking or biking is just a block away, and that connects to the much longer Cardinal Greenway. Layout of the cottage is terrific, with shelving containing all the amenities neatly labeled. Washer and dryer are very convenient. The gravel driveway is well-maintained (better than some of the Muncie streets!). Beautiful, enormous burr oak is in the front yard. The front porch is a perfect place to relax and drink a cup of morning coffee (well, at least as long as it's not winter).

Perfect for 1 or 2
Stayed at the Petite Retreat for a triathlon at Prarie Creek Reservoir. The space was cozy and quiet, and had everything I needed, which allowed me to focus on my race preparation. It’s about 20 minutes from the reservoir, and close to several restaurants and any last-minute shopping you might need if you’re in town for a race as well. Perfect for one or two people staying a weekend for a race or an event at BSU.

We took a trip to Muncie to spend some time with our daughter a student at BSU. The location was a quick 6 minute drive to her dorm, the house is really well equipped, clean and organized. We absolutely adored this place and will return.
