Cute and comfy cabin in a private setting. I personally love the hilly woods outside Bloomington. The complete kitchen and grill was appreciated so I didn’t need to fund every dinner at a restaurant for our group. The place looks like the pictures. A very nice touch was the cabin inside and out was decorated for Christmas.

The host, Jennifer, was great! Always friendly and quick to respond. The property was well kept and the kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, skillets, utensils, etc. The hot tub was clean, well maintained, and great to relax in. We didn’t use the fire pit given the time of year, but it was set up nicely with plenty of seating. You can’t go wrong with this property!
