This works for me:

(setq Info-default-directory-list (list "~/.emacs.d/info"))
(setq Info-directory-list (list "~/.emacs.d/info"))

The 2nd setq shouldn't be necessary looking at the doc for 
Info-default-directory-list,
but you would need it in an existing Emacs session that you have used info in 
already.
