Vert spacious with extras! Fire Pit and Pepsi!
Cabin was very spacious. Two bedrooms on the main floor with a bathroom and the king bed upstairs with a bathroom. The king bedroom also has a couch. Also upstairs was a pool table that actual had space to play where your pool stick wasn't hitting the wall. Kitchen had everything you need and dinning for 6. Living room had two couches so plenty of room to stretch out. TVs are streaming so bring your login list or Roku stick. Now for the outside! You drive up and park right next to the cabin and see a huge front porch. The back porch is even bigger! Covered and has some nice porch seating with a propane grill. Hot tub worked great and you can enter from the porch or walk around the privacy wall. Fire pit in the back is legit with wood and some very nice sturdy chairs, bring a lighter to get things started. I am a big guy and these chairs comfy. Wait there's more.....I am 51 and stayed in many of cabins in KY and TN and never once, not ever ever, did I have my own Pepsi machine. I kid you not, there is a Pepsi machine on site. Full disclosure--we hate Pepsi so I did not purchase anything but it was plugged in and running. Not far from Bloomington so you can stock up on groceries or have plenty of places to eat. Definitely recommend.

Great getaway in the woods
This is a great home in the woods. The owner has thought of everything. The sleeping arrangements are perfect for 2 couples or people that have different sleeping patterns. Master bedroom and bathroom upstairs, and 2 other bedrooms and another bathroom on the main floor. She has every pot or pan you would ever need. The hot tub and location are ideal!

Remote Cozy cabin
We stayed in Hoot Owl cabin with another couple. Cabin is in a neighborhood but is 6 miles on a twisty road off of rte 46. Entrance to the cabin road/driveway is hard to see and dangerous to exit (bushes on each side stick out too far.). Cabin itself is nice. Wasn’t thrilled with beds. Kitchen has a lot of kitchen stuff. Upstairs master suite on-suite had claw foot tub with shower curtain which looks cute but not taller people friendly. Cabin was clean, pool table is nice, hot tub worked well. We saw deer multiple times, two moms and their fawns. Lighting inside the cabin isn’t the best. Communication with host was good and timely. We won’t rent it again simply because of the location.

Family time
We stayed four nights at Hoot Owl cabin. I thought the statue of the owl right before you get to the property was cute, and a great indicator that the home is near. The cabin was welcoming and cozy. Had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed the fire pit at night and drank coffee on the deck in the morning. It was very peaceful. Close enough to the grocery store but far enough away from the city. It was a great location for all the activities we planned. The owner was helpful and responsive to my questions. I highly recommend booking here.

Amazing getaway
What a beautiful place! We booked a spur of the moment trip and went with our 5 year old and 19 year old. This cabin is wonderful in every way. Our middle child will be starting at IU Bloomington this fall, we will be back again. If you’re on the fence due some other reviews (I read them too) don’t hesitate. This place is fantastic

Clean, inviting cabin with pleasant decor and details
Just a quick two night stay to get away during spring break- the weather was cloudy cool and drizzly but we enjoyed the cabin! Hot tub was A+ and the beds were very comfy. Went to Bloomington on Thursday to explore the campus and found lots of cool things to do - many of them free! The IU art collection is well worth a look, much on display from many time periods and global regions! Feta Kitchen was a gem!
