The host, Jennifer, was great! Always friendly and quick to respond. The property was well kept and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, skillets, utensils, etc. The hot tub was clean, well maintained, and great to relax in. We didn’t use the fire pit given the time of year, but it was set up nicely with plenty of seating. You can’t go wrong with this property!

Cute and comfy cabin in a private setting. I personally love the hilly woods outside Bloomington. The complete kitchen and grill was appreciated so I didn’t need to fund every dinner at a restaurant for our group. The place looks like the pictures. A very nice touch was the cabin inside and out was decorated for Christmas.

This was our fifth time trying a VRBO, and this was by far the best! The cabin was clean and tastefully decorated. Convenient to IU campus for attending a football game. Had a minor issue with the AC, but the host was great to work with and quickly resolved the issue. We've already booked this again for next year/.

Host profile image
Our cabin is designed with you in mind. We've tailored each room, our hospitality and amenities to make your stay is as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. We hope that our attention to detail and desire to provide you a home away from home shines through each and every moment of your stay.

Why they chose this property

The cabin offers you a home away from home feeling. Don't waste your money at a local hotel! Our prices are competitive and lower than most of the area. We know you'll enjoy your stay with us.

What makes this property unique

The Hoot Owl Cabin has the rustic look our guests enjoy, but all the modern amenities such as Internet, Phone, Cable Service, and comforts of home. Hoot Owl Cabin can be used for a Ladies Weekend relaxing the in the hot tub, sitting by a camp fire visiting with family or friends, or a family getaway. With all the custom pieces and antiques in the cabin, there were no details left out. This is not your average rental and guests have left amazed with its beauty. If you sit outside late enough, you will possibly hear the local critters...coyotes, occasional fox, and possibly an owl.
