Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Monroe County

We came for my son’s IU graduation and we had a great time. This is the BUSIEST weekend in Bloomington so all reservations are done at least 12 months in advance and every place is overpriced including rentals, hotels, restaurants, etc and you are happy if you can get a vacancy. We booked several months in advance. It was very easy to communicate with Joseph, he is very friendly and responsive. My daughter arrived a bit earlier and checked in the house. She texted me that there was dog hair on the floor and furniture. Since the place is pet friendly, i expected that this might be an issue. Joseph was very resourceful and responsive, he asked someone to come by and clean the floors the same evening. While it was not perfect, I appreciated Joseph’s willingness to fix the issue and resolve it right away.

Hawks Ridge was amazing!! Such a beautiful home, both inside and out. We were in town for a graduation at IU, and Susan’s home was very convenient to Bloomington. The home is secluded, private, very peaceful and an amazing place to stay. There were four in our party and we had plenty of room. Susan was incredibly helpful and responsive.

Great place to stay for graduation weekend at IU. The pictures of this home don’t do the place justice! We all thought this place was gorgeous and super clean. The location was peaceful and a 20 minute drive to campus. The bedrooms are large and beautifully decorated, the only thing missing is full sized mirrors. Would definitely stay here again!!

Can’t say enough wonderful things about this beautiful place. Just the peace and quiet we needed. They had everything we could need or want. Such a wonderful, generous host. Best bed ever! They get everything right!

We had the pleasure of staying here for our wedding weekend and it was gorgeous! Our photographer even said her job was 10x easier with all the natural light and beauty. Bryant was super responsive and left all sorts of cozy amenities, making it an extra special weekend. Hope to come back soon!

As a school team of 7 we really enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the size of the house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and it was very comfortable and peaceful. The outlook from the porch was beautiful and we spotted deer! We were able to make two great dinners in the excellent kitchen. Would definitely recommend Whitney's place for a group to stay!

Nick's house was perfect for our family of 6 celebrating my daughter's graduation from IU. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. The yard and front porch and back patio were so peaceful and relaxing for family time. Nick was a responsive host and very flexible with checkout. I would definitely recommend his beautiful home to friends and family.

Dan was a fantastic host! We had such a peaceful week celebrating our anniversary. We caught several catfish and a couple bluegill right off the back yard. We were also able to find an abundance of night crawlers right on the property. We took a quick trip on the kayaks and explored around the lake. Perfect location and secluded! It was just what we needed for the week. We also loved that we could bring our 2 doodles with us. Thank you for all the advice on the area and giving us a beautiful space to enjoy our time together.

Fantastic stay in Nashville. Perfect setting for us in the heart of Nashville. Most of our desired shop and diner visits were walking distance. Fantastic and friendly restaurant down below too. Amazingly we did not see all that we wanted in Nashville. We really enjoyed our visit and will do it again!

Kara’s place was beautiful and spotless. Walkable to all of downtown Nashville. We had a peaceful and fun stay. Would absolutely stay here again.

Everything was amazing! Kara did a great job of having everything super well stocked, all the amenities you could think of. We experienced a city wide power outage the weekend we were there and she did everything in her power to help us navigate that. Brought us a generator to save our food and charge devices. She even had flashlights and lanterns stocked in the house. One of the best AirBnb’s I’ve stayed in and will definitely be back. Kara was extremely responsive and so helpful!

The place was beautiful and very quiet we only spent one night there but it was well worth the trip only a few minutes from downtown Brown County..

I cannot say how thankful I was to find this place while looking for the perfect eclipse viewing spot. The host was very helpful as I was trying to time the weather and ability to move around, if needed. Her place was amazing - remote, beautiful and spacious, with stylish decor and so clean! As I was driving in, later than I had planned, she gave me a video of how to get inside which worked perfectly. I got inside and stopped and realized the space was exactly as pictured. Clean and quiet, peaceful, this was going to be THE spot for viewing the event of a lifetime. The host family was generous with suggestions on where to go in town, how to interact with the animals, snacks and beverages (which saved me on my late arrival) and access to wander the property and time to relax. They allowed me to view the eclispe is a private back pasture which was a stunning backdrop for the eclipse Everything was absolutely perfect and I would love to visit again! Thank you for an amazing experience. ♥

Her studio was great. Well equipped and clean with a short drive into town. She was very accommodating and responsive and would absolutely recommend her beautiful property.

My friends and I were in town for a wedding at The Wilds. Very convenient for getting to the wedding venue and to and from downtown Bloomington. If I’m ever back in Bloomington with a large group I would definitely book Nancy’s place again.

I really liked the place. I felt at home. Everything was very impeccable and very quiet. I would like to return 💖💖💖

We had the most incredible weekend at Garrett & Ewa’s place! They communicated so well with us before hand when planning my sister’s wedding celebration! Everyone loved the space. It was all as pictured and even better than expected!

Another wonderful stay at the Goat Conspiracy. Beautiful, spacious cabin and private, peaceful surroundings. Private location where you wake up to the sounds of nature, with goats providing a special bonus. Cabin is spacious and clean - can't wait to stay again.

My husband and stayed for a few days - the pictures and descriptions are accurate. The house is about 25 minutes to the town of Nashville, but it is a beautiful drive. It is very well maintained and is one of the cleanest vacation properties we have stayed at. We loved the quiet, remote area. The back deck has a pleasant view of the lake, which appears to be a nature preserve. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to our nature-loving friends.

Spent a IU football weekend here while visiting our daughter on campus. Quaint cabin in the woods that met all our needs. Chris’s instructions were very thorough. Only about 14 minutes from campus too. Great hiking in Hoosier national forest that was minutes away. Would be a wonderful place to stay also if you were doing a lake weekend over the summer.

The property was absolutely beautiful! Came for a wedding that was close by and enjoyed a wonderful night around one of the two fire pits. Wish we had more time in the morning to explore more of the property. Our dog really enjoyed the expansive forest. Alexandra was amazing and super communicative with anything we could have needed. Can’t wait to come back!

Great place to get away within 20ish minutes from Nashville. Plenty to do in the house if you want to get away with the pool table, shuffle board, movie theater, arcade system, hot tub, and fire pit if you don't want to go into town.

Came here with family and my parents for my child's graduation. It was a beautiful place in the perfect location!

We had an excellent time at this beautiful place. Very secluded and PEACEFUL!!! Will absolutely come back!!!
