Step into Checkers of Muncie, a vintage-artsy hideaway where creativity meets comfort. This cozy, thoughtfully designed home makes the most of every inch with charm and character tucked into every corner. You’ll find checkered touches throughout — from the bold kitchen floor to the playful entryway and even the sidewalk outside — a nod to the home’s whimsical namesake.

Each bedroom tells its own story:
•The Farrah glows with boho-sunny vibes and warm, golden tones.
•The Willow offers a calm, Blue-Willow-inspired palette of soft blues and whites.
•The Belmont leans toward a turn-of-the-century academia feel — a touch of Ralph Lauren style with deep, thoughtful textures and moody lighting. Each room features a queen sized bed with a thick top-rated Zinus mattress, spotless crisp linens and thoughtful touches,as well as their own adjustable AC unit.

The bathroom mixes colorful vintage tile with modern comfort, featuring a refreshing showerhead and bright, cheerful details.

Guests can enjoy a ukulele, electric guitar, piano, and violin, along with board games, puzzles, snacks, and candles for relaxed evenings in. There’s fun art (some hiding in plain sight!) that makes every corner feel alive and a little bit magical.

While the house itself is small, it’s perfectly suited for travelers who value cozy, creative spaces over extra square footage.

Outside your door, there’s plenty to explore:
•Just four blocks away, the Cardinal Greenway Trailhead invites you onto a 100-mile biking and walking path that winds through Muncie and beyond.
• Mansfield Park is only two miles away, with a fishing pond and a double-decker gazebo that’s perfect for a picnic.
• Frankie D’s Flea Market, a quirky local favorite, is a quick half-mile stroll.
• The Academy of Model Aeronautics National Headquarters, home to exciting competitions and events, is about two miles away.
• And in just 15 minutes, you can be at Prairie Creek Reservoir — a beautiful spot for swimming, kayaking, and sunset walks.

Whether you’re visiting Ball State, exploring local art, or just looking for a small space with a big personality, Checkers of Muncie offers the perfect blend of comfort, creativity, and connection to everything Muncie has to offer.
