"The property is 5 miles from the IU campus and a 15-minute drive with graduation traffic. It's situated in a country setting and perfect for 6 people (7 if using the couch). The host was awesome, offering to pick up anything we wanted on-site when we arrived. The house was very clean and had extra pillows/blankets if needed. We had an absolutely wonderful time and couldn't recommend it more for families/groups during peak times when you're OK not being in the center of the college. Perfect for Mom's, Dad's, and Parents' weekends."

"Most things were in good order and worked well for our group. There was no shampoo and one bathroom had a small leak from the shower above it. "

"Host was very accommodating and house was better than expected. Pictures don't do this place justice. This place is very unique and very well decorated. Interesting memorabilia everywhere you look. Definitely feels like home. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful house. Would definitely stay again."

"This was a well stocked home and the decor was amazing. The temp was 60 degrees inside the cabin when we arrived and it took several hours to get to a comfortable temp. The fenced in yard was also a plus for our dogs."

"Yes they were great"

"Great house - very clean and functional. Good lay out for large family group. "

"The room was clean, the property was quiet. The showers could use a little attention. The staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning. "

"Horrible no running water and no shower"

"Check in/check out process was super easy. We had everything we needed, except for trash bags, which we were able to get from the office. All linens, dishes, silverware, pots and pans were provided. There is a stove, but no oven. I’d advise against buying food from the convenience store down the road from the campground, but if you do, check the expiration dates on everything. I’d definitely check out Lake Monroe. It is stunning! We will definitely be back. My only complaint is the mattress is pretty uncomfortable. "
