In its heyday, Airstreams were the epitome of traveling in style — shiny, sleek, comfortable, and towable. Founder Wally Byam first got the wheels turning for the timeless trailers in 1929 when his wife Marion expressed her exasperation with tent camping.

He began experimenting with toppers for a Model T chassis, starting with canvas before opting for metal, and decided it was “a pretty good business to get into.” Wally was right, and like his last name, people started to buy em.

Whether you have a taste for nostalgia or simply don’t have a vehicle with a hitch, here are a couple places in central Indiana to live out your Airstream daydream.

A peaceful Marion countryside stay

Just over an hour from the heart of Indy is this 2021 Airstream with every modern convenience you could imagine. You’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the idyllic fields and garden surrounding the trailer and can even tour the host’s 31' Sovereign Airstream from 1971 that’s in the middle of being remodeled.

A romantic Nashville refuge

Want to really unplug? Check into this Airstream named Emilene, where cell service and Wi-Fi connection aren’t on the menu. Instead, you can relax in hammocks, brew incredible coffee using the five different methods provided in the kitchen, or explore nearby Nashville, IN.
