Debbie D. Jun 17, 2025 03:55:25 AM
Summary: For our family get away we throughly enjoyed this property. The home was clean, beds very comfortable, kitchen well stocked, 2 living spaces, a large kitchen for all to gather in and a large space outside to play. The kids had fun on the paddle boards and kayak. We had some rainy weather. When it was nice out we played outside on the property and went to Brown County State Park to hike. When it rained we played games inside. Kids loved the bunkbed room!
Catherine L. Jun 2, 2025 06:40:29 AM
Summary: House is totally clean and spacious and secluded if you’re looking for peace and quiet. Gorgeous porch to relax on and large family room for group gatherings. Comfortable furniture and beds.We were in town for IU graduation in Bloomington and this was a little bit of a hike for that, but that’s on us for not thinking that distance through.
Barb H. Mar 31, 2025 07:26:23 PM
Summary: We loved the house and property, plenty of room for all 10 of us. Wish we could have stated longer. Had a great time.
Laura C. Feb 18, 2025 12:37:29 AM
Summary: This was the second time that my group of girlfriends stayed here for a girls’ weekend. The house is on a beautiful piece of land and has a perfect set up for a gathering of friends. The homeowners are amazing - very responsive and helpful. We’re already planning to come back next year.

Summary: Our group enjoyed the size of the home & the amenities. The home is very well stocked with every conceivable need. Lovely private grounds & peace & quiet. My 2nd trip & I’m going again next spring. Best rental I’ve ever used. These hosts do an amazing job with their property!

Kurt K. Sep 28, 2024 02:17:08 AM
Summary: Our family of 8 gathered from San Diego, Atlanta, and Cincinnati to celebrate parents 70th anniversary. The home is spacious with 4 private bedrooms and baths (even the bunk room was comfortable). Check in was easy and the home was clean, kitchen stocked with essentials and more, living and dining areas easily accommodated us. The location is convenient to tours of Columbus architecture, downtown Nashville and to both entrances of Brown County State Park as well as a rural drag strip with local color. We enjoyed the fire pit and a meandering one mile hike through the 14 acre woods. Runners will appreciate low traffic roads and rolling hills with shady tree lined sections. I'd like to return with our kids and grandkids.
Douglas C. Sep 28, 2024 12:17:05 AM

Sue H. Aug 24, 2024 01:28:02 AM
Summary: We r a group of 4 couples who recently stayed in the aptly named “Sanctuary “ for a 3day, 3 night yearly get-together. The property is very beautiful & relaxing with the pond & sweeping back yard providing excellent views from the 2 porches. The home was very accommodating, well stocked and clean. 4 bedrooms & 4 bathrooms. Super easy checkin and out, seating for all 8 of us whatever room or area we were in. Large kitchen for cooking. The owners were extremely responsive. This was the perfect property for us to rent!
