We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was immaculate and so cute. The view of the woods was peaceful. You have to take a walk to get a lake view, but once you do, it’s lovely. The bed was super comfortable and my husband really liked the loft office set-up with a pretty view. Perfect anniversary get-away. 25 minutes to Bloomington with lots of food and fun options.

Excellent Host (Brandon) who went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy with our stay. Well stocked, cute unit for a short stay. Comfortable bed and sofa and dining room chairs. Large TV (there is not one in the bedroom thought). We played golf at Eagle Pointe and rented pontoon for a day on the water. Great getaway for a couple of days.
