Hidden Retreat on 30 Wooded Acres 5 Miles to Town

Unwind at our retreat situated on 30 wooded acres, yet only 10 minutes from Bloomington. Evoking a rustic warmth with modern comforts, the house is lovingly decorated with all the amenities you could desire.

Guests will be able to enjoy all that Bloomington has to offer, or if a quiet evening in is what you're after you can relax on the sun deck, cozy up by the fireplace, or even test your skills on the putting green.

This is an entirely separate 2 bed/2 bath guest house with a private entrance. We live in the main house, but you'll have full privacy during your stay. While we'll likely be home, we will be sure to keep to ourselves unless needed.

Behind the house is a hiking trail, in which you'll likely have deer, rabbit, turtle, and turkey sightings.

If you happen to be here on a Friday between 5-7PM, just down the road is Muddy Fork Bakery, Indiana's only wood-fired brick-oven bakery. Here you can purchase breads, pastries, granolas, and flours.

Hoosier National Forest & Lake Lemon are minutes away if you're feeling a little outdoorsy.

BEST VRBO ever!
We loved staying in this beautiful home! Surrounded by woods, it felt like a private retreat. Every detail of the home was perfect--great decor, comfortable beds, high-quality amenities. Everything we needed was there. An extra bonus was our hosts, Ryan and Rachel. They made us feel right at home and were very helpful and engaging. We were VERY reluctant to leave, it was such a great experience and a beautiful home on a ridge top. We are starting to plan another trip to Bloomington, just so that we can stay here again and see Ryan and Rachel.

Perfect!!
We all agreed we would build this house for ourselves at home! perfect floor plan, high quality finishes and appliances with beautiful decor. We also loved the variety of places to hang out, covered porch, deck, screened in porch and cozy living room. I would highly recommend this home to anyone. It was only minutes from Bloomington, a little trek to Nashville and in a remote(ish) valley, but well worth the interesting drive!

Wonderful Reunion in a Perfect Spot
The property was perfect as a getaway with old friends. The house was spotless and the kitchen was well-stocked. Though it is only 10 minutes from downtown Bloomington, the quiet and peace of the woods is right outside your door. Don't miss the bakery up the road if you are there on a Friday evening from 5:00 - 7:00 -- great bread hot out of the oven. Rachel was welcoming and available to answer any questions. We look forward to a return visit!

Spectacular Getaway
Our stay in this beautiful hidden retreat was nothing short of spectacular. It was very secluded and private. The 30 acre woods is a very relaxing walk and has a very clear path so you don’t loose your way. The owners are excellent to respond very promptly with any questions or concerns s you may have, I can’t say enough to encourage you to try this beautiful location. We will definitely stay again! Absolutely a 5+ rating. Bill and Linda Z.

Beautiful & extremely private
This was only 15 mins from my daughter in Bloomington (she lives near the college mall). We had the the house, garage, woods to ourselves. The place was gorgeous inside and out.. the road getting there had a detour so our gps took us a different route that was a little challenging for us since we were trailering our bass boat. The street is considered a 1 lane/car street so just be aware if you are trailering any thing.

A wonderful Labor Day weekend!
We spent three nights in this perfect two bedroom cabin. The house is immaculate. It sits on 30 beautiful acres, but is less than 10 minutes away from IU and the city of Bloomington. My kids played on the putting green and took hikes in the woods. We were also able to attend an IU football game, walk along Kirkwoowd and spend time with our IU student. The property owners are super nice and accommodating! Five stars all the way!
