The host were amazing! They left us fresh baked cinnamon bread, and it was delicious. The barn was gorgeous! It had an old time Christmas charm, and was very cozy! We felt at home. We loved the original beams that were used from the 120 year old barn! The smell was amazing inside the barn! Highly recommend! Looking forward to returning in the future!

We were looking for a cozy Christmas cabin experience, an annual tradition for our family. We asked if it the barn was decorated for Christmas before we booked, and boy was it ever! We were there three days and I was still finding new sweet surprises everywhere I looked. It set just the right tone for our family holiday. I worried that a barn might be drafty, but it was so snug and toasty with everything we needed to slow down and relax, including a homemade coffee cake that greeted us. The barn has a really interesting history and has clearly been restored with love and care. Thank you!

Great Stay

The owners of the property are very nice, the barn house is such a relaxing place to stay and they did a great job with it. You are close to downtown Bloomington and only about 30 minutes from Nashville, IN. Would highly recommend.

The Barn was a fantastic place to stay for our family! The owners are very responsive and helpful. With the antique decor, we felt like we took a trip back in time, yet with all the modern conveniences! It is even better than the pictures portray! We wished we could have stayed longer.

Great Labor Day Weekend Getaway

Six of us came together for a tradition of unplugged family time. We took in an arts & crafts festival in Bloomington, visited the T.C. Steele historic site, and spent a beautiful day on Lake Monroe. The owners are terrific. Excellent communication and attention to every detail- all was perfection!,

Great place for a family get-a-way!

My family and I had such a wonderful time at the Barn. It exceeded our expectations in more ways that one. The personal touches were a nice surprise and the owners were very helpful. We stayed here in December and the barn was decorated with such nice holiday decorations. It is in a great location to Bloomington and Nashville. We made a lot of memories here and hope to return some day.

A Very Special Property and Amazing Hosts

If you're debating on which property in the Bloomington area to choose, just pick this one! Amazingly appointed property that's very conveniently located with absolutely the best host & hostess. So comfortable and quiet yet very close to attractions, food and entertainment. Phil and Linda even provided us with a charcoal grill, charcoal and starter fluid. Absolutely our best VRBO experience.

Our family had such a lovely time staying at the Barn! This property was so cozy and peaceful while being conveniently located to shopping, hiking, and restaurants. The owners couldn’t have been more amazing. They reach out to make sure we had everything we needed! When we arrived they had snacks waiting for our 9 year old daughter.

Exceeded Expectations

The property was exactly like it looks in the pictures. First class finishes. We like to do some cooking when we travel and there was everything you would need to cook. The beds were all comfortable. Water pressure was great in the showers. The area the barn sits in is very quiet. We sat outside and read for a time and it was perfect. The hosts are on site, however, the main house is secluded away from the barn so you do not feel "watched". The host are fantastic and attentive to what you need. The barn is very cozy yet modern. Highly recommend.

Beautiful Barn Lodge

This house was a perfect fit for our family reunion in Bloomington. It was cute, clean, comfortable and the owners (who live next door) were extremely accommodating, helpful and friendly. Everything was as described and made for a wonderful visit. Our only issue was with the property management company handling the listing (Evolve) as they were not responsive (no phone number to call)to me and charged a "damage waiver" fee that they could not explain. The owners were extremely helpful in trying to resolve this.

Old beauty

First impression: I love it! It's adorable! It's decorated so well. It's a good mix of old timey and modern. The pictures on the listing don't do the place justice. Everyone that joined us loved the place We met our hostess, Linda, not long after our arrival. Such a nice lady, very accommodating and helpful. Just a text message away. Very responsive. I loved the area. It looks and feels like you're in the country but town is very close by. Not wheelchair accessible and could be difficult for someone with a lot of trouble walking as the front walkway is gravel and there's uneven ground around the firepit. I very highly recommend a stay here. I would definitely stay there again.
