    This property was an absolute disappointment and falls into clear false advertising. It’s described as a 'cabin,' but it’s actually a loft above a garage that’s part of the owner’s home. The listing claims the owner may be on-site — in reality, they live in the same structure, and the noise from the garage door disrupts any sense of privacy or peace. The yard was overrun with wasps, ticks, and dog waste from previous guests. As well as dog bones that were underneath the kitchen sink. If you're going to allow pets, the property should be cleaned accordingly — that’s basic hospitality. Within five minutes of letting our dogs out, one of them had a tick attached, which we had to forcefully remove. This is a serious health hazard — ticks can carry dangerous diseases, and we did not feel safe staying. We had booked Thursday through Sunday but left within the first hour of arrival. It was simply too risky to remain there with our family. When we reached out to the host for even a partial refund, he refused — a disappointing and telling response. Based on our experience, I strongly suspect many of the positive reviews are not genuine. This was one of the worst stays and hosts I've ever encountered. I would never recommend this property to anyone

    Beautiful and cozy property. Loved the woodwork, made great use of the porch to watch a rain storm. The porch/entrance backs up to woods faced with a line of white pines that were particularly lovely to enjoy. Great location near town but you feel like you're

    Wife and I were looking for a couple of nights without the kids and this place was great! Probably one of the best outfitted places we have ever stayed. From included bottle of wine from a local vintner, snacks, extra blankets, well stocked bathroom with plenty of towels, even toothbrushes brand new in package.Kitchen had everything you needed to cook just about anything. Grilled a couple of steaks on the gas grill on the porch. Location is very quiet, you hardly know you are just minutes from Bloomington.Would stay here again in a minute!

    This was hands down the best space we have ever rented. It was the exact vibe we were hoping for-cozy, beautiful, and perfect for a weekend getaway to just unplug. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked, and the thoughtful details were lovely.

    This apartment was absolutely perfect for my husband, me, and our Golden Retriever. It was virtually across the street from our daughter’s wedding venue, which made it incredibly convenient. The space was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated with a cozy cabin feel. We also loved how it was tucked away in a peaceful wooded neighborhood.The host was so kind and accommodating — she even let me borrow a couple of kitchen stools to take over to the “getting ready” house when we realized we needed some for our make up artist. I’d love to come back for a more relaxing stay sometime!

    The property was well maintained. Decor gave a luxurious homey feel. We only stayed a few days, but the clothes washer/dryer, closet space, and kitchen amenities would work well for a longer stay. The stairs to gain entry to the property are a bit of a hike, so anyone with a physical disability might have a hard time. It's an easy 15-20 min drive to lots of food and entertainment options. We enjoyed our stay.

    Very nice and quality place. Its above the garage and connected to the main house but did not feel like we were in a hotel or apartment. Loved the clean cabin feel and covered deck.

    Us staying at this wonderful guesthouse for 10 days is like stepping into a secluded nature spot. Whether you are planning a extended weekend vacation or a longer getaway - this cabin really offers a unique and memorable experience. The combination of its beautiful setting, great amenities and decoration, and proximity to local attractions makes it a top choice for nature lovers visiting Bloomington and Monroe lake area, we really enjoyed bird watching and cuddling the domestic nicest forest cat Earl.
