About this property
Relaxing Retreat In The Woods. Quiet place to unwind yet minutes from town.
Relaxing retreat on 16 acres of woods yet minutes from shopping, restaurants, Lake Monroe and the I.U. stadium. A quiet place to wind down. The studio is in the woods so you may see or encounter wildlife including deer, opossums, raccoons, coyote, bobcat, snakes and birds as well as bugs. We use pest control on a regular basis but that does not guarantee no pests or bugs will not be visible.
Guests have access to a grill, fire pit and hammock. WiFi is available for your devices. CD player and record player/records are provided. No cable or television. Cell phone service is available if occasionally spotty. There is a security camera on our main residence. It does record but is not monitored 24/7. You will see the camera if you walk up to our main residence.
No cleaning fee.
Kitchenette has a microwave,toaster oven,coffeemaker, electric kettle, espresso machine coffee, tea, refrigerator, blender, dishes and utensils.
Owner does live on the property in a separate residence. I give my guests privacy but if complete seclusion is what you are looking for my place probably isn't for you.
There is a long driveway back to the studio so in the winter months all wheel or four wheel drive is recommended. I keep the driveway plowed but if a snow storm cones through it may take a bit to get a snow plow out to me for service.

The cabin was very clean and the property owner had almost everything that you could think of already in the cabin. I would definitely rent this cabin again!
Such a perfect spot for a long weekend getaway. Incredibly clean and comfortable! Love watching the fall leaves turn color and many great hiking spots nearby.
Just wonderful and great..Would definitely recommend this hide away to anyone who would love nature and piece and quiet. A beautigful place for vacations or just a few days to relax!!
Had an amazing time, the place looks amazing and the host definitely thinks of the guests with leaving sweets and how everything is setup. I would definitely go back sometime it's perfectly in the middle of all the places to go and perfect place to go back to after to relax.
Bobby’s place was even more beautiful than expected. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights while visiting IU. Such a tranquil relaxing place to come back to after busy days. The home was fully stocked and very cozy. Would highly recommend.
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.
Very private and cozy. The owner gave us complete privacy and thought of all the little touches that made our stay even more special! From the locally made sweets, to the robes and the turntable with albums.
Everything was just perfect for our stay.
This is a perfect suite. Every amenity is thought of. The location is wonderful. Close to Bloomington and IU campus but a quiet retreat in the woods. Bobby is a top notch hostess!! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again.
This was just the perfect little getaway for us. The property was easy to find and secluded while only minutes from the city. We really loved playing games and using the record player instead of watching TV. Great experience and would definitely return in the future!
This is a magical property in the woods. Woke up to bird song. It was just what we needed.
The owner was great and accommodated us. Would like to stay there again.
Cannot say enough good things - This place is an absolute gem. Our second time staying, and it was just as great as the first. Everything you would ever need, and it is just around the corner from downtown Bloomington with yummy food and fun shops. We went to the antique mall and had Mother Bear pizza. So fun looking out the big picture window, lots of squirrels, birds, and deer. Will absolutely be coming back again!
This was our second time staying here. We absolutely love the property and enjoyed our time here! Bobby is a wonderful host and the love she has for the property shows. The unit is a gem in the woods. So clean woth beautiful decor. I hope to be back soon!!
Bobby is an amazing host. Answered countless questions I had about the property. The cabin itself was absolutely beautiful. So many things to do on the property alone. Five out of five stars. I will definitely be visiting the property again.
