About this property

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.

Beautiful and peaceful central location for family visit.
This lovely property gave us a beautiful, quiet & peaceful place to stay for 4 nights over the Easter holiday while we visited family and friends in the area. The hosts were amazing, helpful and friendly and very respectful of our privacy. We look forward to staying here again!

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!
