Family get away

Plenty of room for 9 of us. The indoor pool and game room were great. The game room being separated from the the bedrooms and other living space was good so the noise of karaoke did not disturb those watching tv. We were able to eat dinners together at the large table and play games. The hot tub and back porch area were very relaxing. We enjoyed the movie room the with protector screen was nice to wind down at night. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed here for several nights for a family getaway with kids and grandkids. Excellent experience! The house was clean and kitchen stocked with all the necessary items to prepare our meals. Lots of parking. The highlight was the pool for the grandkids along with the game room. The movie theater setup in the basement was wonderful. Brian was easy to work with. Easy access to Bloomington. I highly recommend and we certainly plan on returning!!

Great home away from home…with many amenities!

Five sisters/sister-in-laws spent a week at Brian’s house. Brian is an excellent host and was very responsive to our needs. The house is big, private, and beautifully decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are planning to return next year! Highly recommend!

Short vacation.

Everything was amazing! The pool was perfect, our 2.5 year old absolutely loved it and all us adults enjoyed it as well. The housewas in close proximity to Bloomington and only a short drive to Nashville and brown county state park. Was the perfect little getaway spot for a us and would definitely recommend staying here.

Private Resort

This property is a private resort with all of the amenities. The entire space was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and included everything you could imagine for an indoor romantic getaway. From the massive heated pool, to the sauna, to the two jacuzzi tubs (one indoor and one outdoor) to the game room, to the luxurious bedrooms everything was fantastic.

Awesome Pool Room

4 Generations stayed for family vacation. We all really enjoyed the pool room. House was clean and has plenty of room. Spent one day at the Indianapolis Zoo which was well worth the 45 min drive. House feels very secluded but is very close to everything you need.

Wonderful house in a great location

We had a wonderful stay! The pool was perfect. Great for a family's getaway. Plenty of space to enjoy. Convenient to IU, Brown County. Lots of great hikes close by. The basement bedroom and bedroom over garage would not be good for little kids by themselves as they are separated from main living space. Overall, I'd highly recommend. My family loved the pool, hot tub and outdoor area. Beautiful place to visit in the fall.

Didn’t want to leave

We enjoyed the poker tables, indoor pool, outdoor whirlpool, indoor whirlpool, game room, board games and just watching tv in bed. This house is an incredible steal for the number of people it entertains and all of the amenities. We didn’t end up exploring anything in town or nearby because we had so much fun. Really thoughtful host with everything you need at the house. Can’t wait to plan another trip here!

Great getaway with lots onsite to do

Our group enjoyed the game rooms, pool, hot tubs and outdoor space. Close location to restaurants and shopping but we spent almost all our time at the property. One of the best stocked rentals we have experienced (towels-bath and pool, kitchen essentials and gaming entertainment)!! Beds are comfortable and rooms are theme decorated. Separate spaces are quiet. In need of a good deep clean in a few spots and a few repairs but nothing unacceptable. Thanks Brian for your responsiveness the day of check in and an enjoyable property!

Perfect Girls' Weekend

We rented this house for a girls getaway from St. Louis. The house couldn't have been more perfect for us! I've probably rented 50 homes across the country over the past 30 years. I can honestly say that this was the most well stocked house I've ever stayed in. It was clean and loaded with things to do. There were beautiful golf courses nearby, the neighborhood was lovely, and a day trip to Nashville, IN was perfect for 6 ladies! Brian, the owner, couldn't have been nicer, and was quick to respond to communication. There was a problem with the lock box when we arrived. Brian returned my call within 2 minutes and immediately drove an hour to get there and get it taken care of as quickly as he could. Downtown Bloomington was minutes away and provided plenty to do while we waited. By the time we grabbed a bite to eat, the problem was resolved. Finally, the trees is the area were so colorful, it was incredible. If your looking for a place in the midwest to enjoy beautiful fall foliage, i would highly recommend staying here. Of course, it would be a great place to stay any time of the year! Thank you, Brian!

This property is WOW! Gorgeous as you pull up to the house and then wows you more upon entering the house itself. The heated indoor pool was a hit, along with the hot tub.The dining room table was large enough for all of us. Kitchen was very well stocked with modern appliances. Plenty of bathrooms! Game room was awesome and a hit with everybody.

Great property!

This place was perfect for our needs. We were celebrating my wifes 40th bday and had 5 IU alums in our group who wanted to spend time on campus. It is about 15 min away. The house has so much to do between the pool, hot tub, game rooms and movie theater! Theres also nice living areas and a patio to just sit and enjoy your company. Brian, the host, was also very great. The house, pool/hot tub, patio were clean and welcoming. Really no complaints. All of my guests were also impressed with the house and offered me many compliments for finding this .

Pitfalls and Highlights

WARNING: Anyone with small children, be sure pool is tested and shown to be at safe chlorine level before using. We enjoyed many features of this house but had a big problem with reactions to pool chemicals that were either too strong or not added far enough in advance of visit. All adults and children had respiratory irritation, watering eyes and sneezing in pool area, at first. Toddlers had coughing and wheezing for 24-48 hours after first swim. Reactions cleared up in 3-4 days, as chlorine dissipated. The owner tried to address, but was faced with his own medical issues and closed pool chemical suppliers. The hot tub was perfect. This property is under reconstruction, after damage from a fallen tree a few months ago. Very nice property owner is working hard to rebuild, but there were small unfinished items throughout and messy areas in side and back yards. Large front yard and patio area were very nice. Many excellent features include a wonderfully outfitted 2-story game room and movie room, gas grill and large, furnished patio, many bathrooms with excellent water pressure and hot water, 2 laundry areas, multiple large TV screens and luxury appliances in the kitchen (although the garbage disposall didn't work). So, if pool chlorine tests safe, this is a great place to stay right now if you are not fussy about some unfinished landscaping, woodwork, switchplates and the like, and promises to be excellent when all the work is done.
