The name says it all. Celebrated my sons 21st birthday with a weekend of golf and boating with his friends and we all enjoyed our downtime at the Hidden Gem. Pool, games, the bar, and the open floorplan with huge bedrooms helped make a fun weekend even better. The host was as perfect as the house. I would absolutely go back for our next stay in the area.

Beautiful and large venue!

Though the outside of the building may not look like much at first, the inside contains a beautiful home stocked with everything you would want. The host was communicative and everything was well-cleaned.

What a Surprise!

When we booked this place we went expecting to be as big and spacious as it was! We had like 12 people and still felt very spaced out and the living room was amazing with a pool table!

Stress-Free Stay

My mother passed away, and my wife and I needed a place that would accommodate my children, their wives and children. This place was perfect. It was large enough that the children could play freely. There was a pool table for the adults to enjoy, and with all of the stresses of the funeral, we had no stress in our accommodations.

Hidden Surprise

I originally booked this as a place to stay after we went to the Taylor Swift concert in Indianapolis. It’s about a 15-minute drive off the freeway and I passed through a couple of small towns to get to our destination. One would never guess that this lies hidden within this building. We thoroughly enjoyed it and have talked about a girls’ trip here in the future. I would stay here again.

Polar express perfect

This property was awesome. Location was great if you are going for the polar express, just down the road. Many stores within walking distance. Our family had a great time and many memories were made. Thank you so much. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Perfect for Gathering of Friends!

We had a great time at this property. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, the main living area and bar was beautiful, and we enjoyed our time there! Our only complaint was a lack of cups/glasses, but there were some styrofoam cups and it all worked out! The host was super communicative and helpful. We had a blast and hope to come back next year again! Our group had 4 couples and 1 single, this was the perfect space for us.

Very nice place

There were a few hiccups but the host was very nice and extremely helpful. Even bought us pizza to say thanks for helping with the hiccups. Only thing I would say is that if your planning on cooking and having a large group bring extra cookware not very many pots or pans aside from that was overall a great experience for all of us. Thanks again.

Making memories in the path of totality

I had heard good things and I had seen the pictures, but WOW what a unique and wonderful place to stay! Not only is it as spacious as it looks in the pictures, it's more so! Everyone had a beautiful, private bedroom to retreat to, a spacious living area to gather, pool and foosball for play, and a full kitchen for group meals and fellowship. I am very grateful for Camerin's communication and responsiveness at check-in, and this place is indeed a hidden gem! We came to Connersville for the total solar eclipse and to see family, but we also found wonderful places just steps away, like new businesses and historical museum sites. And this was not only our lodging while we made fond memories, it played a prominent role in those fond memories!

Truly a Hidden Gem

This Hidden Gem is Connersville made for a wonderful weekend away with friends. Plenty of beds and space to hang out for the weekend! We loved using the pool table and brought some of our own games as well. Towels and toiletries were provided, and laundry was available. Don't let the outside fool you, the inside is just as beautiful as the pictures. Camerin was a great host, and quick to reply to whatever questions we had. After our stay, we noted a few things that would have improved it (mainly in the kitchen - cooking for 12 can be a challenge!), such as additional dishes, cups, and bigger pots. Camerin truly took our recommendations to heart and followed up with pictures of the additions that were made! Definitely would stay here again for a future friends getaway weekend!

Funeral

We came to town for a funeral. We had 9 of us and at no time did we feel crowded. We actually would get lost trying to find our way around. The kitchen is wonderful for cooking and serving. The beds range from extra firm to soft. The air mattresses were very comfortable. The floors need a good mopping. Our feet were black from walking barefoot in the apartment. The decanters are white with dust. There are cob webs along the bed posts. The rest of the house was clean. Showers, sinks, and toilets were all very clean. Our only suggestion would be to install an elevator. The installation of a small elevator would open the rental ability to a larger population and I believe you would never have a vacancy. My husband’s cousin from Connecticut stopped over and declared he wants to have his 60 th birthday celebration there. The space is wonderful and we will stay there anytime we return to the area as long as we can climb the stairs.
