We had a lovely stay in Bedford at this rustic family home. The house sits on a relatively quiet street. The Vietnamese pho nearby was fantastic. Perfect location for our trip.

We had a great experience in the Timeless Retreat. It was perfect for a long weekend visiting family. It’s so nice to have a kitchen and private bedrooms when traveling with young kids and we were able to have out of town family come to us and had plenty of space to be comfortable! This location was great to easily run to wal-mart and have pizza delivered.

Great little house! Creaky floors, so no hide and seek! Not the best parking situation. Glad we stayed though.

Everything was great. Only issue was parking. Driveway too small for our vehicle and you have to hope you can park close by on street, fills quickly. But no complaints otherwise.

You can’t go wrong with staying here at this Timeless Retreat in Bedford. The house is stunning and beyond clean. Sitting out on the front porch in the afternoon catching a breeze and listening to the birds sing was priceless. Even had a couple of Cardinals pay us a visit. I would go back here to stay again and again. Carrie is top notch to work with and quick to respond if you need anything. This place will get a 100 out 10 from me.

Wonderful 'rustic,' and quaint home with plenty of space to visit with guests. Appreciate the architecture and setting. Close enough to Bloomington for IU activities with easy drive on Hwy 37. Quiet neighborhood and plenty of street parking.
