Very comfortable house. We were a group of ladies in town for a family event. We didn’t use the game room, theater room or pool but enjoyed the hot tub & large couch in the LR. The 4th BR is upstairs, away from the rest of the house & the 5th BR is in the lower level thru the theater room. A couple of us doubled up in the other 3 BRs to be closer together. Overall, very nice. Looks like the large pool & game room would be fun. Maybe next time.

The host is very gracious and easy to contact if need be. The house is outstanding. Every year my brothers get together for a long weekend. This house is perfect. We did not need to go anywhere. Jump in the pool or hot tub then the sauna. Grill and make wonderful meals. Hangout in the 2 story game room. And everyone with a private bedroom and multiple bathrooms. Towels galore Everything you need is there. I’m from Bloomington, so I didn’t need to go out to the countless places this beautiful town has to offer. If you want to get out, this house may seem out of the way but it’s 10 minutes to IU We will be coming back Thank you, Brian!!

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 .

Great stay

One of the few places that looks just like the picture. They had everything we needed to cook, plenty of towels for the pool. The decor and hospitality reminded me of a very nice hotel. We had some hiccups but the owner/manager was readily available and addressed all issues, as best he could. The communication and willingness to help was wonderful. And we were able to enjouy our stay. We will definitely look to book this place again.

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!

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.

My wife and I have been traveling and staying in Vrbo’s for the last nine years and this is by far the best one we have ever stayed at. It was clean as a whistle and very comfortable temperature in every room. Brian Smoot is an amazing host because even when I accidentally pocket dialed him, he called me back to make sure I had everything that I needed. I would highly recommend this to anyone to stay at and we will definitely be coming back. If there was a 10 star rating, I would’ve given him a 10 star across the board.

Brian’s house was amazing! Super clean and loaded with great things to do and use. Only wish we could have spent a little more time at the house. Stayed for graduation weekend with another family. Plenty of space for us all with easy UBER access into Bloomington. Close to walking and bike trail too. Great for families of all ages!!
