We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. The property is surrounded by beautiful greenery and nature, making it incredibly peaceful, quiet, and relaxing. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the calm atmosphere away from the noise and crowds.The location near Bloomington was very convenient, while still feeling private and serene. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the hosts made the experience smooth and welcoming from start to finish.If you’re looking for a calm getaway with amazing natural surroundings, I would highly recommend this place. We would gladly stay here again!

Relaxing Stay After an IU Football Game

Fantastic stay and a wonderful property! We were looking for a quiet relaxing property outside of Bloomington to wind down after a IU football game and enjoy the quiet countryside and we found it. The property was immaculate and full of amenities. The well stocked fire pit was also great fun on a fall evening! Highly recommend!

Perfect cottage

The best setting for a fall getaway. Everything has been carefully thought out at this cottage. Just open the door and relax! The corn hole and fire pit to the multiple porches to sit on. This place is amazing. Everything you need is there. Great place!

Wonderful Stay and Fantastic Property!

This place has everything you will need. Every detail has been carefully thought out. The cottage is clean and amazing. Lots of sitting areas, games and just the best tucked away location you can imagine. The trails were amazing and well kept. The wildlife was cool. We saw two deer sparring!! We have already booked our next stay! :)

We came to Indiana for my grandmother’s funeral, and what could have been a difficult trip became one filled with peace, comfort, and wonderful memories.The host approved our reservation quickly and even allowed us to check in a little early, which was greatly appreciated. Every message we sent through the app was answered promptly, usually within 15 minutes.The cabin was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well organized. We arrived with little more than clothes and a few groceries from Walmart, and everything else we needed was there. Towels, washcloths, kitchen essentials, comfortable furnishings, and even laundry facilities made it feel like a home away from home. The open layout gave our family plenty of room without feeling crowded.What truly made this stay special was the hospitality. The owner took time to show us the trails on the property, point us toward another nearby trail, and personally show us how to find a nearby cave. We enjoyed exploring the outdoors and seeing the beauty of the area.The evening after those adventures was my grandmother’s visitation, and the following morning was her funeral. Looking back, I believe the peaceful setting, trails, caves, and beauty of nature helped our family find comfort while grieving. It reminded us that God’s creation can bring peace even during difficult times.This is more than a cabin—it is a place where people can rest, reconnect, and make lasting memories. We highly recommend it and would gladly stay again

Im a retired government employee. My wife and I enjoy hosting and take great pride in offering a great stay in the home and make every effort to accommodate guests. I enjoy woodworking and watching basketball and football.

Why they chose this property

This is a beautiful area to host in. The home is surrounded with fields and woods and wild life , I think it’s truly beautiful .

What makes this property unique

Driving up to house on the blacktop drive is like driving into a park. You will have privacy but still close to a nearby convenience store and restaurant.
