Located 20 minutes south of Indianapolis in the nationally recognized historical district of Shelbyville, IN. The Charles Davis Mansion is family/veteran owned & located 5 minutes from Horseshoe Indianapolis Casino.
This fully restored 120+ year old Victorian Queen Anne masterpiece is now available for short term executive housing & can accommodate up to 15 overnight travelers. It is also available for select private engagements. Unlike traditional Victorian era homes, we’ve designed the Charles Davis Mansion to be an interactive experience – we encourage our guests to pick up & absorb the many antiques & collectibles in the mansion. Our guests have exclusive access to the property during their stay.

The Charles Davis Mansion is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the home’s decadent beauty and elegant charm. Bill, the owner, was truly a delight—his passion and personality shine so brightly, and he adds so much warmth and character to the entire experience.
We hosted a bridal shower here, and it could not have been more perfect. The space was fabulous for entertaining guests, and everyone loved exploring, touring, and capturing photos and videos of the breathtaking interior. The atmosphere made the celebration not only beautiful but also so much fun.
We are already looking forward to our next opportunity to return to this incredible venue. Highly recommend!
