Hey, Indianapolis. You know INDYtoday as the free newsletter in your inbox each morning, packed with the most uplifting and impactful local news. Our team highlights the best of our city — from events and new businesses to exciting developments and the amazing people who call Indy home.

We have incredible advertising partners that support our mission to bring only the most positive local news and events to Indianapolis, but sustaining a modern media company requires much more. That’s why we’ve created this reader-driven campaign, with a goal to raise $2,500 over the next 10 days. If you’ve enjoyed being subscribed to INDYtoday, found a life-changing concert in our Events section, used our City Guides to plan perfect days with family, or impressed your dinner guests with all the details of that new development you read about — we couldn’t be more honored to be part of your life. And we’re calling on you now to help support our mission.

We are part of 6AM City, a hyper-local media company focused on activating communities through daily email newsletters.

A few reminders about who we are:

We curate local news. No matter which news outlet, community organization, small business, or reader breaks the story — the most positive local news and events worth your attention are curated into our daily newsletter. Our dedicated City Editors live, work, and play in Indianapolis, carrying out our mission to highlight the incredible small businesses, non-profits, and city programs you want to hear about.

We’re committed to maintaining our readers’ trust. Fun fact: Our parent company 6AM City has turned down more than a million dollars in political ads since we started — we’re that serious about our brand promise. We think reading about what’s going on in your city should be a positive experience, not something that rockets your blood pressure before you’ve even started your day.

The truth is, we love what we do. Sharing the most positive local news and events with our readers fuels us every day. If you’ve felt the love for our product too, help us today with a one-time contribution that supports local storytelling.

INDYtoday: INDY_Container Home Airbnb_SEPT23

Settle into three stories of modern, modular living in this unique container home. | Photo via Airbnb

We all need a vacation — or a staycation that feels like a vacation — from time to time. Whether you’re a Hoosier feeling a little cooped up or a visitor looking for a special Indy experience, picking the perfect home away from home is crucial.

We went looking for unique lodgings around town and central Indiana that showcase that Indy spirit. So choose your ideal digs, pack your bags, and get ready for a memorable getaway.

Indy’s First Container Home | Kennedy King
Try to contain your excitement when you see this stylish, modern container home. Relax in the clean and comforting spaces or on the three outdoor decks, or head just a mile east to hit Mass Avenue.

Chateau Noir | Near Southside
You wanted fashion? Check into this designer home, which has been featured in several publications for its gorgeous combination of vintage and modern styling.

Onyx Tiny House | University Heights
Want to find out what it feels like to live minimally? Book a stay in this 398-sqft house. What’s not tiny, however, is that crystal clear swimming pool.

Mega mansions

Butler University Mansion | Butler-Tarkington
Missed out on the Greek life in college? Here’s your chance to get that sorority/fraternity experience during the summer while Butler students are away. The enormous great room and equally impressive dining room would make the perfect backdrop for an epic party, and there are enough beds for everyone you know to stay the night.

Paradise Retreat | Paragon
Welcome to one of the most unique, well-appointed stays in Indiana — complete with an 8-acre lake, home theater, fully equipped gym, sauna, library, and game room.
