I rented this place for my parents to stay in Bloomington. It is about 15 min from town and is absolutely amazing!! It is tucked in the woods - such a peaceful, beautiful setting. The place itself had everything we needed and was clean, nicely decorated, cozy but spacious!! Bobbie was a great host and very helpful. We will definitely be back! A quick note that the directions on my app took me to the wrong road/ridge so make sure it doesn’t do the same for u!!

This space was delightful—everything we needed, clean, comfortable, charming. Hosts were very communicative and have thought of everything a visitor would need. Setting is serene bit also a short drive to all shops, restaurants and hiking spots.

This is the second time we've stayed here. It's clean, comfortable, spacious, nicely decorated, and close to outdoor recreation. Bobby provided everything we needed for our stay. Thanks for hosting us again!

This property is fantastic if you are looking for the quiet get-away with quick access to both area hiking and the city of Bloomington Indiana. The property is very clean and the interior is quite enjoyable. The kitchen and bathroom are very functional. The property does not have a range and oven but you will quickly find that is not a problem. The microwave oven more than compensates. Lots of coffee choices and various other small appliances. The weather was unusually warm while I was there but the canopy of trees on the property kept it quite pleasant. I certainly plan to return. For me I would give the property six stars out of five.

I needed a place to stay for my daughter’s Mom’s weekend at IU that was close to campus. I really don’t enjoy cramped overpriced hotel rooms so I decided to try some different! I’m so thankful I did! This property was so cute! My daughter and I referred to it as the cottage in the woods. It was very clean and cozy! We would definitely stay here again!

The unit was great - very clean and comfortable. However, it was not isolated. It was in someone’s backyard and there was no privacy.

This was a wonderful location to stay for our vacation. The stay is just moments from the main road and yet there is no traffic noise in any way. Just the sounds of the woods. As we were tired upon arrival it came to our suprise that the bed we layed in sucked us in like an amazing cloud. Instantly we slept the night away and awoke almost wanting to not leave. Highly recoomend.

This place was so quaint and peaceful! The inside is super cozy and absolutely love the window to look out into the woods in the dining room. Bed is beyond comfortable and the fireplace is the perfect addition! It was the perfect place for a mom’s getaway. The homemade cookies and organic bug spray were a nice treat to us. The location was perfect along with this. All I can say if this is going on our save list for future girls trips in the future!

This is by far the best place to stay if you like nature but not camping. It is quiet, beautiful, and relaxing. Close to downtown Bloomington, yet far enough away that makes you feel like you are in a hidden retreat (10 minutes away). 20-30 minutes from downtown Nashville, Indiana. Many wineries to visit, state parks, coffe shops, etc. Best host!! Beautiful place inside and out. Seriously cannot say enough about this place and the host. O n the bed!!! Omg the best memory foam topper that makes you feel comfy and comfortable. Cannot wait to visit again!!!
