About this property
Hidden Retreat on 30 Wooded Acres 5 Miles to Town
Unwind at our retreat situated on 30 wooded acres, yet only 10 minutes from Bloomington. Evoking a rustic warmth with modern comforts, the house is lovingly decorated with all the amenities you could desire.
Guests will be able to enjoy all that Bloomington has to offer, or if a quiet evening in is what you're after you can relax on the sun deck, cozy up by the fireplace, or even test your skills on the putting green.
This is an entirely separate 2 bed/2 bath guest house with a private entrance. We live in the main house, but you'll have full privacy during your stay. While we'll likely be home, we will be sure to keep to ourselves unless needed.
Behind the house is a hiking trail, in which you'll likely have deer, rabbit, turtle, and turkey sightings.
If you happen to be here on a Friday between 5-7PM, just down the road is Muddy Fork Bakery, Indiana's only wood-fired brick-oven bakery. Here you can purchase breads, pastries, granolas, and flours.
Hoosier National Forest & Lake Lemon are minutes away if you're feeling a little outdoorsy.
