Clean, quiet, beautiful surroundings. Property in the countryside but still close to everything you need. Homeowner, Melissa, was very kind.

Lovely Guest House Just Outside of Bloomington

We had a great stay at this guest house just a short and easy drive outside of Bloomington. Very quiet location on a country road east on State Road 46. The guest house with 2 rooms and a full size bathroom (standup shower) was plenty of space for 2 of us as we visited our student at IU. We unfortunately did not have much time to spend in the space or using the outdoor area, as we spent most of the weekend in Bloomington, but I would recommend to anyone looking for either a close-by (non-hotel) space for the same purpose, or to just get away and have some peaceful time to yourself. Great owners who went out of their way to make sure you were welcome and everything you needed was at hand. Highly recommend.

Cute place

Melissa was super responsive and friendly. She was considerate and had thought of all contingencies given we were visiting when hurricane Helene was passing this area. The property is located in beautiful woods and the cottage was stocked with everything we would need and more. Too bad we couldn’t enjoy the s’mores and firepit due to the rains but had a wonderful stay. Thanks Melissa!

Cute cottage with comfy beds and a well stocked coffee station. The hostess left birthday and anniversary cookies for us, as we were celebrating both! The natural surroundings were incredible!

Weekend Retreat

It was exactly what my friends and I needed, a beautiful place to relax after a day of sightseeing and shopping. The beds were comfortable, the decor adorable, the outdoor seating quaint and so relaxing with an amazing view and you really couldn’t ask for better hosts. Everything you could possibly need was supplied. We were surprised by custom cookies that were delicious! And woke up to the most delicious and moist muffins!! I’m really hoping to get that recipe haha!! Thank you for being such a wonderful host! We loved it and my friends keep thanking me for finding your place.

Beautiful Guest House

The space was welcoming and clean. Our host was very responsive and she left us homemade muffins for our morning treat. The outdoor space is relaxing and beautiful, perfect for morning coffee, or reading. Conveniently located.
