We loved our stay at 4Paws! Excellent amenities, not too far from Bloomington and a great location if you’re traveling with pets. The home was well equipped with everything you need and the little extras that are so nice! We would definitely stay again and plan to when visiting our daughter that’s attending IU.

Perfection

My family came together to celebrate a 70th birthday and we thought the best gift would to be to have all of us kids under one roof all at the same time. We use VRBO several times a year but this house has beat every other place we have ever stayed in. Communication was quick, easy, and reliable. Location of the property is beautiful and the perfect distance from everything. The area is clean, quiet, well kept, and safe. The house itself was perfect, the complete home. Dog friendly, all age friendly, and had everything you would have in your own home. We were shocked by all the things stocked and available for use from the kitchen to bathrooms to cleaning supplies. The design of the house is perfect for family to spend time together. We plan on returning in the fall.

Wonderful stay

What a great home. The minute you walk in the house you feel at home. Not someone else’s home, but yours. The way it is set up all the conveniences of being home. Very considerate owners making everything you could possibly need right there.. one of the nicest laid out Vrbo’s I’ve been in! Thanks for a great stay!

Attention to detail, organization, and eccentric, welcoming decor made this rental stick out from the crowd. My boys loved the hot tub, basketball hoop, hot cocoa bar, pool table, and video games the best. I appreciated the fresh eggs, stocked pantry, organized and label everything :)

4pawsgetaway was pawfect!

What a beautiful and well-appointed home. Large enough for our family of 5 adults, plus our dog! The expansive kitchen area and gorgeous (and huge!) island was the focal point of our graduation celebration, a time to enjoy each other in a serene setting and get to and from Bloomington very easily. Lights were left on to welcome us, as was a box of baked goods and a dog cookie! Communication was excellent prior to and while arriving, You feel like you’re a million miles away but yet very close to shopping, necessities, restaurants, wineries, etc. I would highly recommend this property and will return for sure for a girls weekend of Brown County shopping and eating!

Peaceful, Spacious and Thoughtful

We have stayed in several VRBO rentals over the years and this one tops the list in terms of the managers thoughtfulness. While it doesn’t have huge walk in showers (nor does it claim to), it DOES have plenty of bath towels. It also had PLENTY of toilet paper. It was impeccably appointed as if you were entertaining family. Board games, phone chargers, sound machine by the beds, coffee, even spices in the kitchen. While these may all seem like little things, they can be uncommon when renting a place. We have been in newly built, very impressive and massive homes that don’t even have one bath towel for each of the bathrooms. Not to mention only a partial roll of toilet paper in each of the bathrooms. I feel like the way people do anything is the way they do everything. EVERYTHING here seems like these people care. We look forward to coming back. All this said, they do need to work on the exterior door deadbolt that leads to the hot tub. It has issues. Also the kitchen faucet needs attention, too.

This is far and away the most well-appointed VRBO we’ve ever stayed in. The kitchen had good quality pots, pans, utensils, and gadgets. There was even a cocoa bar and other treats awaiting us when we arrived. The beds were super comfortable. The bathrooms were spotless, and they even had hydrating face masks available. The game room had a ton of great board games and a pool table that we enjoyed. The hot tub was also extremely clean and protected from the elements, so we even spent time in it while it was raining. The fire pit was also a great place to gather. The hole was lovely and full of fun decorative touches. They had dog beds and bowls and kennels available for the canines in our group. It was a quick drive over to the state park and Nashville. And the host was highly responsive. Any questions we messaged them were answered right away! We loved it and would definitely stay there again!

Weekend Hiking

The property is beautiful. Friday we used the fire pit, basketball hoop, and our kids rode their electric scooters around the property. Saturday we were about 15 min. From shops and Brown county state park so we enjoyed that. The horse riding was closed at the state park so we went to Grandpa Jeff’s horse ride and it was a great adventure. The house is very clean. It had a lot of supplies like: firewood, any kitchen items you needed. Towels, hair dryer, etc. we would definitely return.

Birthday Celebration

My wife and I met our daughter, son-in-law, and infant granddaughter to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. First off, the communication with Marisa was exceptional. It was as good as I have experienced with any VRBO. Second, the home and amenities were terrific. Clean and had everything you’d would need and more. We had a terrific weekend, and we all loved the accommodations, My daughter brought her dog, and the dog amenities were terrific also.
