We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was immaculate and so cute. The view of the woods was peaceful. You have to take a walk to get a lake view, but once you do, it’s lovely. The bed was super comfortable and my husband really liked the loft office set-up with a pretty view. Perfect anniversary get-away. 25 minutes to Bloomington with lots of food and fun options.
