Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Monroe Lake

Price was a little high, but for the university graduation weekend, it was to be expected. Hotel rooms go for $1500 a night!

This is the second time I stayed at John’s property. It is conveniently located on campus, and walkable to the stadium. The home is furnished tastefully, clean and stocked with all essentials. John also responds quickly to questions. I would definitely recommend checking out this property. It’s a gem!

Great place to stay for graduation weekend at IU. The pictures of this home don’t do the place justice! We all thought this place was gorgeous and super clean. The location was peaceful and a 20 minute drive to campus. The bedrooms are large and beautifully decorated, the only thing missing is full sized mirrors. Would definitely stay here again!!

Nice and relaxing . House was very nice, clean and in good walking distance to everything. Host gave great instructions and let us enjoy our time. Really enjoyed the stay 10/10 would stay again

Lots of spices to make cooking easy. Kitchen included a pod coffee machine, with several flavored pods. Backyard with fire pit and chairs makes sitting outside nice. A few blocks from the "b-line" walking/biking trail, which leads to other parks/restaurants. Walking distance to several good restaurants. Small part across the street.

We had both of Amy’s airbnbs over IU graduation wknd. We’ve been staying at the campus house for 4 yrs. I just realized that I left a review for that house on her woodland retreat house (new to Airbnb). Doesn’t seem to be a way to edit, so I’ll comment on that here: Outdoor wonderland! Beautiful! The house is great and comfortable, too! Amy’s artistic eye is obvious :) Having gotten to know Amy during our daughter’s past 4 yrs of undergrad at IU, I can attest that she is not only one of the best Airbnb hosts, but truly one of the kindest people on the planet💚…our dogs agree☀️

We had a wonderful time at Josh's Sanctuary!! The place was so beautiful! I highly recommend this beautiful gem! We were there for my wedding with family. Lots of things to do. Perfect place for my grandchildren! Josh is very responsive and kind! Thank you Josh for letting us make memories at the Sanctuary!

had a pleasant stay at Nicolas’s basement studio. The space was impressively clean and well-maintained, which immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. Nicolas clearly takes pride in keeping the studio in great condition—everything from the floors to the bathroom felt freshly cleaned and tidy. The studio itself is well-organized and has all the basics you need for a short stay. The furniture was comfortable, and the bed provided a good night’s rest. I also appreciated the quiet and privacy that came with being in a basement space—it felt like a peaceful retreat. That said, one thing to be aware of is that the studio is a bit dim. As it’s located in a basement, there’s limited natural light, which made it feel a little enclosed during the day. Adding more lighting or finding a way to increase natural light would definitely improve the overall atmosphere. Still, if you’re looking for a clean, cozy, and quiet place to stay, this studio is a solid option.

Fantastic stay in Nashville. Perfect setting for us in the heart of Nashville. Most of our desired shop and diner visits were walking distance. Fantastic and friendly restaurant down below too. Amazingly we did not see all that we wanted in Nashville. We really enjoyed our visit and will do it again!

Kara’s place was beautiful and spotless. Walkable to all of downtown Nashville. We had a peaceful and fun stay. Would absolutely stay here again.

Everything was amazing! Kara did a great job of having everything super well stocked, all the amenities you could think of. We experienced a city wide power outage the weekend we were there and she did everything in her power to help us navigate that. Brought us a generator to save our food and charge devices. She even had flashlights and lanterns stocked in the house. One of the best AirBnb’s I’ve stayed in and will definitely be back. Kara was extremely responsive and so helpful!

The place was beautiful and very quiet we only spent one night there but it was well worth the trip only a few minutes from downtown Brown County..

I cannot say how thankful I was to find this place while looking for the perfect eclipse viewing spot. The host was very helpful as I was trying to time the weather and ability to move around, if needed. Her place was amazing - remote, beautiful and spacious, with stylish decor and so clean! As I was driving in, later than I had planned, she gave me a video of how to get inside which worked perfectly. I got inside and stopped and realized the space was exactly as pictured. Clean and quiet, peaceful, this was going to be THE spot for viewing the event of a lifetime. The host family was generous with suggestions on where to go in town, how to interact with the animals, snacks and beverages (which saved me on my late arrival) and access to wander the property and time to relax. They allowed me to view the eclispe is a private back pasture which was a stunning backdrop for the eclipse Everything was absolutely perfect and I would love to visit again! Thank you for an amazing experience. ♥

Her studio was great. Well equipped and clean with a short drive into town. She was very accommodating and responsive and would absolutely recommend her beautiful property.

My friends and I were in town for a wedding at The Wilds. Very convenient for getting to the wedding venue and to and from downtown Bloomington. If I’m ever back in Bloomington with a large group I would definitely book Nancy’s place again.

So friendly and helpful even when we had a family emergency. The location is gorgeous!

We've been here several times now and it's our favorite hidden gem! Quick 15-minute drive to downtown Nashville and all the shops. Can stay at the home all day grilling out, playing games, enjoying the hot tub, and the kids will not want to leave the amazing outdoor swing!

We absolutely loved staying here! The cabin was so cozy and welcoming. It had everything we needed and more. The outdoor space is perfect! Waking up and enjoying our coffee under the new pergola was pure bliss! The birds singing created the most enchanting and relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect way to start each day and truly unwind. Highly recommend taking advantage of this beautiful outdoor space! We couldn't have asked for a better place to call home during our trip. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone!

Spent a IU football weekend here while visiting our daughter on campus. Quaint cabin in the woods that met all our needs. Chris’s instructions were very thorough. Only about 14 minutes from campus too. Great hiking in Hoosier national forest that was minutes away. Would be a wonderful place to stay also if you were doing a lake weekend over the summer.

We had a great weekend. It was secluded and beautiful.

Pine Ridge was the perfect place to celebrate my son’s graduation from IU. It was easy to relax and enjoy! Our group ranged from 5-78yo and every single one of us had the best time! Melissa was on the spot answering all of our questions no matter the time of day! So grateful to have found this spot to make this celebration special!

Came here with family and my parents for my child's graduation. It was a beautiful place in the perfect location!

We had a wonderful stay at Brooks Run Cabin in beautiful Brown County! The cabin was the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience—think cozy wood beams and the gentle creek of vintage wooden floors, but also strong Wi-Fi and a great shower. Ashley was an excellent hostess—thoughtful, responsive, and clearly someone who knows how to make guests feel welcome. The nearby Brown County State Park is absolutely glorious—lush, peaceful, and teeming with natural beauty. That said, for my fellow city folk: this is real nature. Be prepared to meet ticks, enthusiastic flies, and the occasional snake and frog who think they owns the place. (They actually do!) One tiny note—not Ashley’s fault at all—there was construction happening on the neighboring property, which was a bit of a disappointment. But finished in time for us to truly enjoy our last day. All in all, a wonderful escape into the woods with everything we needed and more. Would definitely return—with bug spray in hand!

We had a wonderful stay! Leah was very responsive to our questions and gave amazing recommendations on things to do. Our kiddos loved the swim spa, collecting chicken eggs, and getting to pet the very friendly chickens. The back porch was a favorite spot, perfect for unwinding, doing art, reading a good book, and watching the sunrise over the tree tops.
