REJUVENATION 🍃
The walkout patio is coated in beautiful slip-resistant carbon flake while bistro lights cast an amber glow over the hot tub and sauna. The hot tub is a 2024 Jacuzzi J-365 that seats 5-6 people. The sauna is a 2024 SalusHEAT dry infrared sauna made for 1-2 people. The sauna has multiple interior lighting color choices and a built-in bluetooth speaker for your favorite jams! The Jacuzzi is loaded with jets, a little waterfall, and gorgeous multi-colored lights. A large set of stairs with handle and assisted lift cover make safe hot tub use a breeze. The hot tub experience in this wooded backdrop is incredible at any time of day. Birds chirping in the morning, gorgeous sunsets, but it is absolutely divine under the soft glow of the bistro lights at night. The only thing more comforting than being massaged by the powerful hot tub jets is wrapping up in an oversized baby soft towel and snuggling in to the hammock swing before deciding what fun you’ll have next.

OUTDOOR FUN 🍁
Just steps from the "therapatio" are large back and side yards. We have a set of regulation bags & boxes with distance rope for you to enjoy! Catching a warm afternoon breeze on the tree swing out front is a whole experience. The tree is massive and absolutely lovely.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS 💤
There are 6 sleeping areas in the cabin: 3 bedrooms, 1 loft, and 2 living rooms. The cabin sleeps up to 14 people on beds. Additional sleeping options are available on air mattresses and regular (non pull-out) sofas throughout.

The upstairs primary bedroom is a dream! An electric fireplace and large tv sit across from a king bed with a remote controlled adjustable foundation with massage feature and a super comfortable extra deep pillow top mattress. The primary bedroom also has a custom sleeper sofa and an additional air mattress in the closet. A Keurig coffee maker and private bathroom afford guests the luxury of stepping out onto the private balcony for some peaceful personal reflection and tranquility before beginning an exciting, fun-filled day with loved ones. A large ceiling fan suspended from the cedar plank vaulted ceiling offers guests a comfortable breeze and is remote controlled along with its light for convenience.

The main level bedrooms are equipped with heavy duty steel bed frames that support up to 750 pounds and have the same wonderful mattresses as the primary bedroom. There is over a foot of open storage underneath each main level bed for suitcases, shoes, and bags. The closets also have built in drawers and shelving as well as box fans for those who want a cooler room or simply sleep better with the sound.

Custom sleeper sofas with queen-sized low profile memory foam mattresses are available in the loft and main floor living room with additional couches available on the main floor and in the basement for those who don't mind less formal sleeping arrangements.

📲 If you wish to have more than 16 guests, please send us a message so that we can determine if our property is suitable for your stay/event. Every overnight guest including children MUST be accounted for in any reservation.

There are 2 large desks inside the property and fast, reliable internet. One desk is in the primary bedroom and the other is in the double bedroom on the main floor. Additionally, many travelers prefer to use the kitchen table, counter space, and coffee tables.

BATHROOMS 🧼
All bathrooms (one on each floor) are equipped with luxury rainfall shower heads as well as handheld sprayers. The upper level and basement have showers, while the main floor bath has a tub/shower combo. The shower in the new basement bathroom has wall-mounted body jets too! Each bathroom has a full size hairdryer and toiletries for your convenience.

PARKING 🚘
The driveway comfortably accommodates 6 vehicles. Additional parking is available, but only fully in the grass on the side of the two streets adjacent to our property and at least 30 feet back from the stop sign. Absolutely NO parking on the street or in front of our neighbors’ homes.

PORCHES/BALCONIES ☕️
Outdoor gathering spaces overlook wooded acreage and a seemingly endless field with beautiful sunsets. Guests enjoy comfortable couches, chairs, and loveseats while listening to morning birdsongs over coffee or savoring a glass of wine after a wonderful day.

FIRE PIT 🔥
There is a fire pit with several chairs behind the garage just off the breezeway. We do not provide firewood, but there are several locations that carry it right down the road. Enjoy!

About the host

Host profile image

We recognize your investment in a fun, restorative experience when you book with us and are honored to be trusted with the enjoyment and quality of your stay.

Why they chose this property

Oak Hill is a quiet family neighborhood with large lots and many trees. It's a beautiful, peaceful place to live. Several of our neighbors are retired, while others are raising children. The scenery is excellent for taking walks.

While the cabin feels incredibly remote, it’s less than 10 minutes to necessities such as gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment. RIVIAN, the Interstate Center, and the Marcus Bloomington Cinema are all under 9 minutes away. ISU and IWU are both just 15 minutes. Attractions on the east side of Bloomington-Normal (the farthest away) can be reached in 25 minutes or less.

If you don’t feel like driving at all, you can have groceries delivered through Instacart and restaurant food delivered through GrubHub. As remote as the cabin feels, we still have ride share and food delivery services. Our location truly is the best of both worlds!

There are lots of driveable options if you’re looking to expand activity options. Peoria (west), Champaign-Urbana (east), and Decatur (south) are all under an hour away. Bloomington is also less than 2.5 hours from Chicago and St. Louis!

Parking at Sticks & Stones is free! The cabin driveway fits 6 vehicles. Additional parking on our corner lot is available, but only fully in the grass/off the road on our property. Personal vehicles and Uber are best for regular transport. There is some free street parking in downtown Bloomington and uptown Normal. The paid parking garages in each area are reasonably priced and likely your best guaranteed spots. Bloomington-Normal does have several limo, taxi, and bus companies as well.

What makes this property unique

Authentic log cabins are hard to come by, especially in the Midwest. The style of this cabin is called Scandinavian Scribe. Its character and authenticity are unrivaled. The logs you see on the outside are the same logs you see on the inside! These logs came from trees in Oregon and have been shaped just right to notch and seal tightly, resulting in extremely high natural insulation. The expert craftsmanship and engineering that went into this design is jaw dropping. It brings us tremendous joy to be able to share its beauty with people all over the world!
