About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

This house is a 10 bedroom(s), 5 bathrooms, located in Bloomington, IN.

Sleeps 20-50. Less than 10 minutes from Indiana University, this secluded property features a beautifully remodeled 6 bedroom house with deluxe kitchen, two modern cabins each with its own private bathroom & kitchenette plus a camping area for even larger groups.

Their is really no limit to how many you can fit in the camping area. We allow you to bring your own tents for camping & provide a fire ring for hot dogs/s'mores.

The Hot Tub is open year round and the Pool May-September.

There is a keyless lock to get into the house and your privacy will be respected. But I am always available to answer questions or help in any way.
Parties are allowed, but I must be notified and give approval.

The property is surrounded by forested hills and valleys, between two branches of the Muddy Fork river. It's a beautiful hideaway with neighbors only visible during the winter and yet only a 10 minute drive to Campus.

You have access to the house, two cabins, and surrounding 25 acres of forested hills, valleys and hiking trails.

You wont believe the kitchen- it has everything you need to cook a feast for 25+ people and basic ingredients as well. The dining hall seats 30, or we can remove the tables so you have a 500 square foot dance hall instead. The heated pool is 33 feet in diameter, enough for a good sized pool party, and the hot tub easily fits 7 people. There are three decks, one porch, one balcony and a concrete patio where we can set up outdoor dining tables for up to 50 people. The patio is easily accessible to the kitchen through double doors, plus there is a big propane grill and grilling tools for those who like to cook with fire!

The hiking trails which lead into our private forest have shaded benches and picnic areas, sure to please nature enthusiasts and casual hikers alike and the large fire ring makes a great place for everyone to gather in the evening for s'mores and campfire stories.

The property is located a couple hundred yards from an old fashioned railroad, which kids tend to love, but for safety sake we fenced in a half acre with the swimming pool, hot tub and a few other features. As a parent I love this because I can keep track of the little ones, knowing they can't go running off into the woods.

FInally, a note on cleaning: It is very important that our guests are safe and healthy. To that end, we have adopted the CDC recommendations for cleaning and disinfecting between guests. We wipe down ALL surfaces, knobs and switches with a CDC approved disinfectant which is effective against Covid-19. We wash all linens on HOT for each and every set of guests and we provide hand soap in every bathroom.

Bedrooms: We have 6 bedrooms in the main house, 3 bedrooms in the 2 cabins. The 10th bedroom is mattresses that we provide that can be used either in the common spaces or outside, if you bring your own tents and camp outside. We have 2 full mattresses and 5 single mattresses available, as well as 2 pull out sofas.

We're a 10 minute drive to IU campus and College Mall, 15 minutes from the stadium and downtown. With Nashville 30 minutes to the east, and Lake Monroe 30 minutes south, you really couldn't ask for a sweeter location.

A maximum of 5 guests above the number which have booked as guests may come to the property. Any more than that will require owner permission.

The pool can be heated, please notify on the day before your arrival if you would like it heated.

If you book Sunday - Friday, I will offer you the 10% discount I offer for a week long booking. To be clear, this will not apply for a 5 day booking which includes a Friday or Saturday night.

I will provide a refund if cancelled at least 60 days before arrival. The amount refunded will be the amount paid minus any credit card fees I have paid for your reservation. If you pay me via Zella, Venmo or Apple pay their will not be any fees if you cancel.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a spa tub or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

FFA National Convention
Jonah has come through again on housing our large group for FFA National Convention. We travel up from Louisiana each year for this. Jonah has provided housing over the past few years. Houses have been spacious and fully stocked with all we needed. For this house, the propane water heaters were the star attraction. Endless hot water after long days walking were a blessing. Water pressure was amazing too! The kids loved the cabins. This is a great location for large groups with older kids. Wish we could have been here in summer to use the pool!

Super large home with so much space. Love the multiple bathrooms. That was very helpful. Also the hot tub and pool were a hit. Beautiful property. Would definitely suggest it for anyone wanting to get away.

4 Generation Family Reunion
4 generations stayed under one roof and that was awesome! The pool is huge, the hot tub was great on cooler evenings, and we had lots of room to spread out. The outdoor seating was well used, and we really enjoyed the fire pit. There is a train track near the property but we barely noticed the few times a train came thru. It really was a magical week. The house was perfect for what we needed. The teenagers loved the trails around the property and the wifi. We had a small issue with one of the shower heads (we assume previous occupants did not notify the host), that my brother took care of. The cabins were not as up to par in regards to cleanliness and unfortunately most of the pool toys would not hold air. Jonah was gracious when contacted and acted immediately to assist. Never had a more responsive or kind host. The local convenience store had almost anything we needed and Bloomington was a quick drive if not. I will definitely recommend this host and the house and would stay again.

If 4 guests would not have made we would have had a major inconvenience
The main house was great , but the two standalone cabins were not as advertised. Not good one of them didn’t have a refrigerator. And was musty.

Family Gathering
We had a great family reunion here! The pool and hot tube were enjoyed by all. Camp fires were enjoyed. Some of us got to see a large racked deer one morning. There seemed to be adequate room. Adequate parking and great location. We could have used a broom or vac to sweep a bit when/while we were there. Beautiful setting and so quiet, everyone had a wonderful time.

great house and location, amenities galore
we loved that we could all stay in one place, but still have our own space. We utilized the whole house and both cabins. The outdoor space was great with the pool, hot tub and fire ring. The kitchen was well stocked and labeled so we could find things very easily. Overall, this was a perfect place for our customer retreat. Jonah was quick to respond to all questions that we had in a timely fashion.

Perfect for a football weekend
Even though you're just 8 minutes from IU's football stadium, this place is out in the country on acres of land with cabins and hiking trails and an area with a fire pit. Huge heated pool and nice hot tub were terrific and the house and kitchen were very well appointed for our needs. Jonah was responsive to our questions while on property. Best of all, there were lots of bedrooms and lots of beds for our large party, with plenty of room for group meals, hanging out in the house, or hanging out outside in the pool, hot tub, or firepit. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Jonah!

Great bang for your buck
We had 20 guests in our party that stayed at the property. Had all the amenities we looked for in a weekend getaway. It’s isolated off of the main road and secluded. Nice walking path, great spots for photos, and plenty of room outdoors to play.
