Amazing Lake House
We’d had a last-minute cancellation at another Airbnb in Kentucky due to flooding in that area. We immediately looked for a new place that we could escape to for some nature & unplugged time, and stumbled upon Garrett & Ewan’s listing—luckily a short drive for us. It is a gem of a find! Cozy home in a private setting with trails and on the water—hot tub was a bonus! We loved sitting around the fire pit, too. The loft was perfect for our teenagers. The rockers on the porch were our go-to in the morning for coffee. We commented several times on how it would be even better to stay in the summer—lots to do outdoors for all. The beds were a bit firm but that is just a personal preference. The house was clean & comfortable—definitely made for a great escape from the busyness of life. Garrett & Ewa were incredibly responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. We were grateful they accepted a last minute booking! It was just the type of R&R our family needed.☺️

Private Retreat w/ Pool, Hot Tub and Dining Hall
Had a fun weekend here with friends. The location is close enough to gas stations and other places to quickly grab whatever you might need, but still feels remote. Lots of space on the property but unfortunately due to heavy rain we couldn't use it to its full potential. Would recommend if you're looking to enjoy nature while still being close to Bloomington (about 15 minutes from campus.)

Barn stay @ Goose Creek Chalet
Beautiful place. Enjoyed our stay.

Walk-out Guest Suite/Apartment near IU
Great please with wonderful host / very fairly priced and deserving of high ratings!!!

Fawn Cottage of Brown County
We traveled here with a young family and couldn’t be more pleased. Close enough to Nashville to venture to cute shops and restaurants and easy to spend the day at Brown County State Park. We had a rainy day and everyone was perfectly content just playing games at the cabin. Very spacious and comfortable. Just what we were looking for!

Secluded Cabin on 16 Beuatiful Acres in Brown Cty
I was in town with my daughter and best friend for the eras tour. We wanted to book outside of the city so we could come back to quiet and have a relaxing place to just enjoy our weekend getaway. Curt’s place was the perfect spot for this.

Rosie's Place - Peaceful Retreat in Town
I am a solo full-time wheelchair user traveling with a Great Dane. It's hard to find a place that is accessible and pet-friendly. I was there for over a month during some winter weather. The host was concerned about my safety and accessibility by making sure snow and ice was clear. The place itself was clean, recently updated, and comfortable. Two nice large TVs were provided and I used the Wifi and it worked well. It is on a large grassy lot set back from the road. There was a lot of room for my dog to sniff around and get some exercise. Guests should be aware that there is a small refrigerator. I had no problem with it, but if you have a need for a large refrigerator or freezer be aware that this might be a problem for you. There is a nice big microwave and toaster, but no traditional cooktop or oven. I felt very safe here. It's pretty close to campus and there is a large parking area that is well off street. Host was great at communication and answered questions quickly.

Bloomington Condo at Lake Monroe
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Hudson Hideaway. Views were amazing and neighborhood was quiet and serene. Shirley was super responsive and helpful and her home was spotless. She really made us feel welcome and even left us a snack basket and several beverages which was a very welcome gift after our long drive. She certainly knows how to make a house a home. We look forward to returning to this community in the future.
