"Owner was wonderful to deal with"
SkyGazers Delight. One of the Safest areas in Bloomington. Super easy access!!
10/10 Excellent
"Host was outstanding and the place was very comfortable with a nice deck outside overlooking wooded area. The third bedroom had a comfortable bed, but no closet and was small. Acceptable if explained forehanded.The inside is 180 degree's from the outside in appearance.The amenities were great."
Lovely Cabin in Bloomington
10/10 Excellent
"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. "
Bloomington Cabin, Mins to Campus/lake Monroe
10/10 Excellent
"This Bloomington cabin was a glam cabin. The host invested in quality construction, appliances and a thoughtful layout. I applaud the host for not carpeting the large open concept apartment! This is soo important when hosting animals. The wood floors were gorgeous! All of this made our stay truly relaxing!"
