The Retreat is aptly named - so lovely and rejuvenating! The furnished balcony is large and the wall of windows makes you feel like you’re in the trees even from the well-appointed living room, dining area and kitchen. It has absolutely everything you need and the queen size bed was very comfortable. Communication with Brandon was excellent - directions accurate and instructions for check-in and check-out very clear and easy. Could not recommend more highly!

We had a nice stay. The place was very clean, the bed was comfortable, it had a nice sized shower (no bathtub). I knew from reading the reviews that there would be no lake view from the balcony and we were fine with that. It has a wooded view and the balcony was peaceful. What I didn’t know was that it’s an upstairs unit with lots of stairs leading up to it. Even parking in the fire lane there was no easy way to load and unload my car, It took many trips up and down those stairs as I was unable to carry the cooler of food I had brought into the unit - I had to unload it and reload it piecemeal. I’m in my 50s so maybe it’s not a big deal to most but it was a big deal for me and my aunt who is almost 70 and has had knee surgery. It just really would have been nice to know that detail ahead of time as I could have planned differently or made the decision to book somewhere else. I took off one star for that lack of detail as it might be important for some people to know that before they book a stay. But overall it was a nice place and a nice visit and Brandon was a very good host.

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.
