The only downsides were the grill had not yet been replaced so we had to bring our own and towels needed to be washed, dried, and put in a hamper that I was unable to locate before you left. The property is peaceful but close enough to Bloomington to go out to eat. If you are planning a trip to lake Monroe it is an excellent home base. ##### Josh T.

We were disappointed not having a gas grill as listed and made sure we brought gas with us as instructed. Lighting in kitchen ( where we had to cook) was inadequate in cooking area. Arrived to soiled dishes in dishwasher and linens with dog hair. Soiled dog beds were under the human beds. The back deck was very nice with a view of the lake. The access (stated as rugged) was an overgrown steep ravine . A few critters joined us in one of the bedrooms Not the best conditions but we shared some great family time. ##### Dolly S.

We cooked a large dinner for them and everything we needed they had available. We loved the beautiful deck where you can see the lake, listen to birds and watch for wildlife. They have books everywhere, organized and tidy. My parents were thrilled to look through them. So nostalgic. The host was responsive and helpful. We hope to make this a yearly tradition.

Even the pictures online can't do full justice to the incredible scenery. We were all impressed with the setting, and the views from inside and out are nothing short of breathtaking. The house itself proved very comfortable for seven adults over a 3 day span. And I cannot sing enough praises about our host--she was kind-hearted and courteous. Even when we had a question about some lighting after 9pm, she got back to us within about 5 minutes. Absoultely above and beyond! It truly felt like we were guests in a cherished family home, and I would absolutely recommend this destination to any groups or families. I imagine it is especially beautiful in autumn. ##### Bill F. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PEGGY C. Jul 13, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Already booked again My family—six adults, two children, baby on the way—take a short trip every year. We usually stay in one of the very nice cabins between Bloomington and Nashville, but wanted something closer to the lake. There was a MAJOR issue with the cleaning service, but Erin, the property owner, was quick to respond and helped save our vacation from being ruined. And the cleaning service offered to come out while we were there to make up for it (we declined). I’m rating it as 5 stars because the house itself was perfect and just what we needed. I’m rating the house alone, because giving this property a bad rating based on the cleaning company’s negligence wouldn’t be accurate. Looking forward to staying again, but hoping the cleaning service is on their game next time! ##### PEGGY C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### ANITA A. May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good Stay We (spouse, several family members and friends) were in Bloomington for our son's wedding and needed space for 10. This house fit the bill. The area is beautiful and quiet; a nice retreat after all of the wedding festivities. House is older and looks like it has had additions/renovations along the way. It fit our needs for the long weekend.Suggestions: if you allow up to 10 people to stay overnight, provide enough place settings for 10 people. Please do something about the lighting in the kitchen-it felt like a cave and I had to use a flashlight to check whether meat was done. (The light under the microwave doesn't work and there is no under-counter lighting.) The special tub was more a hindrance than a benefit. No one wanted to use it-young or old (we had 1 less than 2 years and one well into her 90s.)Also, not a fan of coming into a rental and having to unload someone else's dishes/not a fan of having to wash/dry towels before we could leave. No problem starting a load of towels/dishes but if you charge a cleaning fee, the cleaning person should be taking care of unloading/washing/drying.The "expert trail" doesn't seem to be a trail at all; but then, we weren't sure where it was. Maybe a little explanation as to where to look. The outside of the house could use a clean up. A broken pick-axe, old chair, and a few other things were just sitting out in the area near the house. It really detracts from the natural beauty.Would I stay again? Maybe? Probably? ##### ANITA A. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alicia P. Aug 4, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Lake House surprise 1st time renting . Didn’t expect to have to clean my own towels or coffees pots etc… thought that’s what the cleaning fee was for. Having a late check in and early checkout is unfortunate. But the house is beautiful. There is no path to the lake but there is a beautiful view. And the host is very nice about helping and trying to make your stay as good as possible. Seemed like everyone needed to go to sleep at the same time because of the lack of insulation inside the house. Also the bathtub doesn’t drain properly and we had a huge water problem in the basement which had obviously happened before. In the end we paid a lot of money between parties( verbo, the home owner, cleaning etc..) for this place and being a 1st timer kinda left a bad taste in my mouth. But it is beautiful and the host was very kind and thoughtful she really did try to make thing’s as good as possible. There are lots of kitchen amenities, outdoor chairs and firewood. which I would have know about also. ##### Alicia P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michele P. Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication #### Great for a group The Hoosier Lake House accommodated us well for a long weekend with my husband, three grown kids & their spouses & two grandsons & one German Shepherd. We appreciated having enough bedrooms and the extra living space in the basement. The house is well-stocked with supplies and beds were comfortable; however, the lighting, especially in the kitchen is inadequate and only a lantern in the laundry room makes it difficult to use. The view from the main living room is great and we loved the quiet setting. We were disappointed to not have access to the "private beach," which was a main selling point for us when we booked the house. We expected the path to be an "expert hike" and not for kids (as the listing suggests), but we learned the day before our stay that it had not been cleared this summer and we didn't want to risk getting poison ivy. It also took almost 24 hours for the house (excluding the basement) to cool down to 70 degrees, which was not ideal. And the outdoor space was not exactly as pictured; although the Blackstone grill was nice. Would recommend renting a boat for the day from Four Winds - that was a great experience and Fairfax Beach was nice for an afternoon in the sun. Erin was very responsive, even when the power went out (due to a storm) in the early morning hours. ##### Michele P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenna B.

Mar 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stretch out, relax, and enjoy an idyllic getaway It’s rare to find a place that meets the needs of the entire family, but this place did just that. Grandparents felt right at home, kids had lots of room inside and out to roam and play, and wife and I enjoyed the decked out kitchen and peaceful views. Everyone enjoyed just how cozy and comfortable everything felt. We all felt like we could have stayed several extra days (it’d even be a great place to get snowed in!) Something about the Hoosier Lakehouse connects in a way like a second home would, and that’s rare indeed. One perk that can’t be stressed enough, it really is in just the right spot. It’s only a short trip to get out to hiking in Hoosier National, fishing (their private dock or the lake), boating, or downtown Bloomington. The only thing we needed more of was time. In short, if you want space, comfort, location and peace, then the Hoosier Lakehouse is for you. It’s clean, well managed, and the owners are great with communication, but really it’s an total package that can’t be beat! ##### David S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lora p.
