Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Monroe Lake

Price was a little high, but for the university graduation weekend, it was to be expected. Hotel rooms go for $1500 a night!

We loved our family stay at Joe’s place. It was close to IU for graduation. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor spaces—the hot tub was a bonus! Very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend stay. Joe was very communicative, responding right away. Couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Would highly recommend.

The cleanest air BNB I've ever stayed at! We appreciated the lovely back patio sitting area, which was great for relaxing evenings by the outdoor fireplace. The beds were very comfortable and I loved that there were cozy comforters and extra blankets. As someone who doesn't use or like strong scents, what I LOVED most about this home was that everything smelled clean but not overpoweringly so. I've stayed at other homes where there were air freshener plug-ins in every room and linens on the beds that I was unable to sleep on because of the strong perfume scent...not the case here! Definitely recommend and would 100% stay here again!!

Jennifer‘s place was exactly as described. It was perfect for our weekend away. The place was clean, super cute, and cozy. It had all the amenities that we needed. And even came stocked with some welcome snacks. We would definitely consider using Jennifer‘s place again

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!!

We had both of Amy’s airbnbs over IU graduation wknd. We’ve been staying at the campus house for 4 yrs. I just realized that I left a review for that house on her woodland retreat house (new to Airbnb). Doesn’t seem to be a way to edit, so I’ll comment on that here: Outdoor wonderland! Beautiful! The house is great and comfortable, too! Amy’s artistic eye is obvious :) Having gotten to know Amy during our daughter’s past 4 yrs of undergrad at IU, I can attest that she is not only one of the best Airbnb hosts, but truly one of the kindest people on the planet💚…our dogs agree☀️

We had a wonderful stay. The place was comfortable and very cute! Great place to stay when visiting IU!

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!

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. ♥

Property was accurate to description and photos online. Couch should not be considered as sleeping option for adults.

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.

So friendly and helpful even when we had a family emergency. The location is gorgeous!

We've been here several times now and it's our favorite hidden gem! Quick 15-minute drive to downtown Nashville and all the shops. Can stay at the home all day grilling out, playing games, enjoying the hot tub, and the kids will not want to leave the amazing outdoor swing!

We absolutely loved staying here! The cabin was so cozy and welcoming. It had everything we needed and more. The outdoor space is perfect! Waking up and enjoying our coffee under the new pergola was pure bliss! The birds singing created the most enchanting and relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect way to start each day and truly unwind. Highly recommend taking advantage of this beautiful outdoor space! We couldn't have asked for a better place to call home during our trip. We would highly recommend this spot to anyone!

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.

Melissa was a great host. We had to cancel our trip on short notice and then rebooked on even shorter notice. She was very understanding and helpful. The house is very cute and quiet with a lot of space indoors and out. We didn't get the chance to use the fire pit or the hot tub (maybe next time).The living room furniture and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The kitchen table was perfect for eating and playing games. The kitchen appliances were top notch. The house feels remote but is not far from Nashville, IN and all it has to offer. Good pizza and beer at Bog Woods Pizza. Also check out the Farm House Cafe & Tea Room, just down the road, for great food and a nice nursery with a lot of plants. We'd definitely stay here again.

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

We loved our stay at Brooks Run Cabin! The area is beautiful and peaceful and the cabin was clean and well thought out. Our favorite part was drinking our coffee on the screened-in porch with our dogs in the morning and listening to the birds and the creek. We also enjoyed the camp fire with an abundance of chopped wood to use. Ashley thought of all the things you would need to make the place feel like a home away from home.

Peaceful getaway in a private setting but not too remote. Great space for hanging out with games and hot tub for entertainment. The hosts were attentive to our needs and responded quickly to questions. Plan to go back again next year.

The cabin was wonderful and the perfect place for our chill bachelorette party weekend. The pond and surroundings were gorgeous and the perfect mix of private and easy to access. The closeness to Bloomington made it very convenient to go into town for activities and food. Unfortunately the rain prevented us from experiencing Lake Monroe and the forest, but it seemed like it would be very accessible from the cabin's location. The place was super cozy, the host was very responsive and helpful, and the location was amazing. I think this cabin would be the perfect location for any lake getaway with friends, family, and loved ones.
