Our family love staying in this home. Everything was as expected, with comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen, and amazing views. The wraparound deck was so peaceful, and we especially loved the porch swing. The host was quick to respond to messages, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.We cannot wait to stay here again.

This charming house in the hills of southern Indiana was perfect for our game day stay. Wood floors, wrap around porch, and plenty of space with both an upstairs and finished lower level.

Stayed two nights for wedding anniversary and IU football game. Had a great time and cabin was perfect for our stay. We brought our boat for a day on Lake Monroe and was able to park it at the cabin. Nice secluded area near the lake and a quick drive to Bloomington. We will definitely be back for another stay.

Enjoyed our stay, the host was very hospitable and responsive with any questions. He allowed us to extend our stay by one day last minute which was very appreciated. The house had everything we needed including food the host bought for us before we arrived. Overall great experience!

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway!

Our family had a wonderful Thanksgiving at this amazing vacation rental. The home was perfect—spacious, well-designed, and thoughtfully maintained. The layout was ideal for gathering, and the wraparound porch and large lot added to the charm. The owner was incredibly communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to staying here again in the future!

Petar hosted a party for approximately 10 people. This is violation of our house rules stating “No Parties No Events” ! Petar booked only 2 occupants falsifying information regarding his booking Ring camera verified at least 10 people leaving house next morning Dirty dishes and cups left throughout the house. Cleaning service confirmed there was a party and ask for compensation to cover costs of cleaning Floors covered in mud and alcohol. Beer cans/trash left behind with no consideration for cleaning
