Melanie was very kind, responded quickly to any questions we had before and during our stay, and was just the ideal host. The cabin is very well appointed, with all of the kitchen and bathroom needs you can think of. The fireplace, hot tub, luxury bathroom and stocked kitchen made for a very comfortable, cozy stay.

Melanie has everything in the cabin you could possibly need and then some. Very clean and well taken care off. Would definitely stay again when in the area.

This cabin getaway was relatively close to Bloomington, and allowed us to have a nice respite away from town. We enjoyed the cabin immensely. It had everything needed for your comfort and enjoyment - and more. Melanie goes to great lengths to ensure that your stay is a magical one. This was a great property and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit the area. ##### John J. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Max & Connie J.

The cabin is exceptional, down to the condiments in the fridge to a swing bed on the screened in porch. Unusual things about the cabin was the communications with the owner, super helpful and detailed, a very complete coffee and tea bar, and the every area was very well stocked with every thing you need for a comfortable stay. Plan to go again in another season to take in the view from the ridge. ##### Max & Connie J. Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug K.

It is well supplied with everything you need, beautifully and thoughtfully landscaped, and the swings on the porches and grilling area were perfectly placed for relaxing and enjoying the space. Secluded, quiet, and peaceful. The love and TLC the host has put in to this is obvious. It’s in every little detail. We certainly hope to be back again soon. ##### Doug K. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elijah M. Apr 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Slice of Serenity Incredible experience. Found this place randomly online making travel plans. We stayed for a long weekend and this was an absolute gem, even better than we expected based on the listing. A pristine house with lovingly maintained landscaping and interiors on top of a hill, with lake views (early spring) and cozy outdoor lighting at night. A million little porches and spots to get and drink coffee or wine together and forget the world. The place was immaculately clean and had everything we would’ve wanted stocked. Melanie, the host, was kind and communicative when I reached out but otherwise totally respected our privacy. The only reservation I had on booking was whether the other nearby structure visible in the photos was an inhabited house, but it’s just a barn/ storage building. If I ever have reason to come this way again, this would be the first place I’d book. Already a little nostalgic for it. ##### Elijah M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice M. Jul 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Anniversary Getaway We felt like we were in a fairy tale at Melanie’s whimsical home! It was perfection for my indoorsy husband and outdoorsy me. Such wonderful moments I spent just soaking in nature. We saw a family of raccoons shortly upon arriving, gorgeous deer each time we ventured out the lane, and the flowers were so fragrant and beautiful. We went to Bloomington and ate at Nick’s, which my husband, a IU Hoosiers fan, enjoyed. We went into Nashville and visited the quaint shops, and another night we went to Janko’s for a steak dinner and wine in a casual dining setting, and it was delicious. Then we returned to the cabin and to the twinkle lights and sounds of nature. The coffee and tea bar were second to none, and Melanie tucked in surprised of fresh flowers throughout the cabin, as well as displays of beautiful art. We also visited the gravesites of some of my husband’s relatives, and if you are a cemetery enthusiast, this part of the state has gorgeous ones. We are already discussing when we can return. Melanie thinks of everything and makes all visitors feel special and welcome. ##### Janice M. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wes B. Sep 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful place to get away We were trying to get away for a quiet few days, but with a nice range of activities. The cabin is isolated, but within 15-20 minutes of Nashville. It was a beautiful blend of rustic look and modern amenities with an engaging artistic touch. The kitchen is well supplied with tableware and utensils. The living room and upstairs nood are comfortable for reading (with a good sized and eclectic range of books). The bedrooms are also comfortable and one features a small balcony. The front and back porches were great spots for reading or watching the wildlife. We went into Nashville a couple of times to enjoy shopping at a wonderful independent bookstore and eating at a couple of memorable restaurants. We also ate outside of Bean Blossum at two local restaurants. The week we were there there was a series of chamber concerts each evening, so we hiked in the morning and enjoyed a concert by world-class musicians in the evening! Melanie was an attentive host who provided a number of guides for finding local spots to visit. This is a great get-away spot where you can do as much as you want — stay in the cabin and get away from it all or travel around to visit local attractions. ##### Wes B.

Aug 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Hideaway Wow, this home is incredible! We will definitely return. We found the cabin when looking for a place to stay near IU to drop our freshman off to college. It's about 25 minutes from the university and absolutely worth the drive. The house is gorgeous and utterly relaxing, especially amidst the emotional moment we were having. Melanie's instructions for getting to the place were very clear - all of her communication was excellent and she gave us a list of places to go and things to do that we will take more advantage of next time. The place is a short drive to Lake Lemon, there are hiking trails and nature preserves nearby, and Nashville (Indiana) is a do-not-miss artists' colony town about twenty minutes away. We used every amenity we could in our short stay - the fire pit, the hot tub, the jacuzzi bathtub, the screened porch and the back porch, even the French press for coffee. The house is meticulously and beautifully decorated. We heard barred owls and bullfrogs. The two beds are comfortable, though we wished one of them was a king, and the canopy bed is very creaky but pretty. The house is perfect for three or four people. There are interesting books as well as a Brown County book of artists, which includes Melanie's grandmother, whose gorgeous art is all over the house. The WiFi was solid in the house but the area had no cell signal - if you are heading to the cabin make sure you've loaded the information about the house and directions beforehand. ##### Lindsay Z.
