Cozy Lakeside Cabin with Hot tub near Bloomington and Brown County
Wonderful cozy home with direct access to Lake Lemon. Nestled between Nashville and Bloomington Indiana, you are a quick 15-20 minute drive from either destination! Walk right next door to the newly renovated Porthole Inn for delicious pizza, stuffed breadsticks and cold drinks after an action-packed day on the lake. They have live music most Saturday nights! Gather around our beautiful firepit with built-in benches for s’mores (we provide the materials!)! Our lake home is the perfect mid-way point between IU Bloomington and Nashville (Brown County) Indiana! Catch an IU game, stay by the lake while you’re in town to visit family, or make us your home base while you explore quaint Nashville! We have a brand-new propane grill so if you love to grill out you are in luck. There's a grocery store that carries every necessity 5 minutes away though we try to stock anything our guests will need to have an amazing lake visit without any extra trips to the store.
Please read my entire description prior to booking. We have a king bed in the master bedroom. There’s a second guest bedroom upstairs with two full beds. The basement has a new couch that pulls out to a queen bed. The basement has a door that walks out to the hot tub and path down to the dock. There’s one small, shared bathroom upstairs. The home can comfortably host 6 (flexible!) people, beyond that the bathroom situation is the limiting factor. We are on a septic and kindly request that only waste and toilet paper are flushed. Our home is off a small canal off the main body of the lake. We have our own newly rebuilt dock on the canal and can accommodate smaller boats we just request advanced notice if you intend to dock a boat. Our brand new dock has built in benches and is a floating dock so please exercise caution walking on it, it adjusts to accommodate water level changes! We have kayaks available for rent as well! Please let me know if you are interested in more information!
The home is well stocked with all necessities ie TP, paper towel, clean linens, soap etc.. We try to even anticipate things that get forgotten like shampoo and conditioner, razors, and even a spare toothbrush or two! (NEW of course!) We have a full kitchen and it is stocked to prepare basic meals. We have plenty of nice wine glasses, fun mugs, ice cream bowls, and serve wear for your family celebrations and summer time treats! There is a washer and dryer and we provide some laundry soap.
You will be provided a code prior to check in. Please understand that I am a working mom and occasionally something comes up and either a message doesn’t go through, or I fail to get the code prior to 4:00. Should this happen send me a message on the VRBO platform and call my phone.
Rules: 1.) no parties. We have several ring cameras on the outside of our home for safety purposes, but also to monitor to ensure there are no parties. If a large number of undisclosed guests are coming and going the police will be called. Our neighbors are also in close proximity and will call the police. Our home is not a viable choice for parties. If you intend to have any guests during your stay, please let us know in advance. 2.) Please do not wear muddy shoes in our home. Please leave shoes by the front or back door. It helps keep things more hygienic for everyone. 3.) food needs to stay in the kitchen. If stains on the couch occur, we will charge for cleaning. 4.) wash off feet and any oils on your body before using the hot tub. If you get mud and excess oil in the hot tub it requires our maintenance guy 3 extra hours to fully drain and refill the tub. We will charge a non-negotiable $120 fee if we have to do this after your party’s stay. NO BUBBLE BATH, SOAP, SPA BUBBLES MAY BE ADDED. Again, should this occur you will be fined if we have to drain and scrub the spa. Please leave the spa covered when not in use! Thank you kindly for your understanding. There are posted instructions by the spa on how to care for it. Spa use is at your own risk. It should not be used by children under 10 years old for safety reasons. 5.) no smoking in or around our home. If we find cigarette butts you will be fined $200 for cleaning the property. We have severe asthma/allergies in our family. 6.) we have a strict non-negotiable no pets policy. Sorry! Reference number 5 please, asthma and allergies to animals. Again a fee applies. 7.) At check out please strip every bed that has been used and leave dirty linens and towels in the kitchen by the washer/dryer. Please load all dirty dishes and turn on the dishwasher. This helps our cleaner turn over the unit in time for the next guests. 8.) Kayaks must be rented with advance notice. It’s best if you let me know a week prior to check in if you’d like to rent them! I don’t always remember to ask every guest if they’re interested so please remember to inquire if you are! :) a percentage of all kayak rental will go towards a high risk pregnancy non-profit.

We loved our stay! The home is so welcoming. It is equal distance to Nashville and Bloomington so you can take advantage of everything both towns have to offer. The home was exceptionally clean, the hot tub was amazing and I’ve never stayed at a place with so many extras provide! We will be going again, trying a different season.

The home was a perfect getaway for me and my wife for Valentine's Day. A very cozy place with pretty much everything you need to create forever memories, just add food. Everything was exceptionally clean and well kept. The hottub was amazing to relax in on cold night. The host was very attentive, providing clear communication regading all details in advance and checkin was effortless. If i could give a hugher rating, I would!10 out of 10, highly recommended. Thank you!
This was our second time here, and it was great! Everything was as advertised, and the second bathroom was a nice addition since last year. We will definitely consider another stay next year.
This was the perfect cottage for our family’s weekend to celebrate an IU graduation. Plenty of room, clean, fully stocked, and beautiful setting and drive to/from Bloomington.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Fun atmosphere and great views with a nice drive to brown county/nashville. Definitely making this a yearly girls trip!!
Property was beautiful and the lake view was an amazing plus. Everything worked on the property. The hot tub was covered and looked out on the lake. We will be booking it again!!
