Experience the charm of The Jewel Box, a beautifully renovated 1924 tiny home in the historic Indianapolis neighborhood of Windsor Park. Just steps from the Monon Trail, lush 31-acre Spades Park, & minutes from the trendy and upscale hub of the city: Mass Ave & the Bottleworks area. Enjoy boutique shops, lively bars, entertainment, & fine dining all within walking distance. With rich jewel tones, layered textures, & colorful artwork, the space offers playful luxury in a cozy, artistic retreat.

The space
Every detail of the house, from the gold frames to the retro-chic lighting, showcases a perfect blend of mid-century modern flair and whimsical creativity. You will feel like you’re stepping into a gallery-meets-lounge, ideal for those who appreciate bold aesthetics and a fun, eclectic vibe. The Jewel Box, true to its name, offers a treasure trove of visual delights for a one-of-a-kind stay that feels both luxurious and artistic. 

Built in 1924 and reimagined in 2024, this historic tiny home has been curated to offer both charm and comfort. Located less than two miles northeast of downtown, you’re steps away from the best of Indy—explore local gems like Kan Kan Cinema, Sidedoor Bagel, or dive into the vibrant dining and entertainment scene of the Bottleworks District and Mass Ave. After a day out, kick back and relax in the luxurious, art-filled space that feels like a hidden treasure.

Plus, free street parking and all the amenities you need to relax in style. Whether you're in town for business, pleasure, or just exploring the rich history of Windsor Park (and nearby Woodruff Place with its iconic fountains and Victorian homes), The Jewel Box is your perfect home base! Come experience a one-of-a-kind stay where luxury meets creativity!

I’m a mom, foodie, & passionate about gardening, & creating joyful stays. My partner & I handle everything, from guest care to cleaning; this makes The Jewel Box our fourth baby! I believe in creating spaces that enhance happiness & well-being. I love nostalgic pieces, maximalism, & layering lighting to make our guests feel comfortable. As a late-in-life lesbian, I believe that trying to fit in is a losing game. Shine bright, unapologetically!
