IU Getaway | Hot Tub, Fire Pit & 10 Min to Campus 3BR, 3BA

Just 10 minutes from Indiana University, this peaceful Monroe County retreat gives guests the best of both worlds: convenient access to Bloomington and IU, plus the privacy and relaxation of a wooded countryside escape. Whether you’re visiting for an IU game weekend, campus tour, graduation, family visit, or a quiet southern Indiana getaway, this spacious home offers a comfortable place to gather, unwind, and enjoy time together. Tucked along a scenic wooded hillside, the property feels private and secluded while keeping you close to IU, downtown Bloomington, Lake Monroe, and about 20 minutes from Nashville in Brown County.

Inside, the two-story home is designed for easy group stays, family trips, and relaxed weekends away. The main level features a bright sunroom, spacious eat-in kitchen, dining room for shared meals, comfortable living room with Smart TV, fiber internet, and a full bathroom for added convenience. Upstairs, all three bedrooms offer restful spaces to recharge after a busy day exploring Bloomington or cheering on the Hoosiers. The king primary suite includes a clawfoot tub and separate shower, while the queen bedroom and twin bedroom share a hall bathroom. A small game area with air hockey and a checker table adds a fun bonus for families, kids, or casual evenings in.

The outdoor spaces make this home especially inviting. Step out to the patio to enjoy the private hot tub, fire up the charcoal grill, or gather around the fire pit under the stars. The large yard offers room to relax, while a short wooded trail leads to scenic views beyond the trees. Guests can also enjoy the covered deck near the barn or the upper-level deck overlooking the yard and surrounding woods. With contactless check-in, fiber internet, a private hot tub, peaceful outdoor spaces, and a convenient location near Indiana University and Bloomington, this Monroe County getaway is a welcoming home base for IU weekends, family visits, outdoor adventures, and relaxing trips to southern Indiana.

Beautiful home, drive your AWD/4x4

1. We brought our AWD vehicle and were thankful for it. There was slippage on the way down while it was raining.2. Bring night lights for your children. It is pitch black at night.3. The property management will send you documents that say you need to bring toilet paper, paper towel, etc. Just bring Kleenex, if you use it. They provide the rest.4. The sound carries to the 2nd floor from the 1st. We had sound machines for our children so we didn't disturb them after we put them down.5. Wifi went out while we were there and we had little reception, fyi.6. They have an ice maker.But really, so peaceful, clean, and a beautiful home. We played football on the lawn and took a walk down part of the trail. You can see the stars better than you can from in the city where we live so we took the children out at night to see the constellations. It's little things like that that made the trip more memorable.Thank you for sharing your home with us!
