Good to know

This barn-turned-house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a hot tub sits on 6 acres of land which is shared with the host’s home (see aerial photo). The property is in a country setting, yet it is only a few miles from town, so this makes the perfect home-base for you to explore Bloomington, IU, Nashville or Lake Monroe. We are convenient to three different boat launches and hiking at Paynetown State Recreation Area and Hoosier National Forest. Upstairs you will find a bedroom, a bathroom and a living room with a sleeper sofa and a wet bar area. Downstairs is the full kitchen, another living room and a second bathroom. We also have a convertible poker table with bumper pool. There is a retro arcade game cocktail table with over 500 classic arcade games as well as two building-block style play couches for kids to make forts to their hearts content. Outdoors, there is a luxurious 6 person hot tub and fabulous fire pit with grill grate. There is a large upper and lower back deck on which to enjoy a meal or hang out and chat. A championship level disc golf golf basket is provided which you can use for putting. The paved driveway has room for a boat trailer and up to 3 cars. Hosts have a chicken/pigeon house behind the guesthouse which you can see and guests are welcome to walk down and check out the birds. There is also a koi pond by the host’s home and if the hosts are home you are welcome to come up and hand feed the fish if you would like.

We had a great stay and were pleasantly surprised by the value and quality of the home. It exceeded our expectations. The location was easy to find, quiet, and spacious—perfect for our family of six. Having separate upstairs and downstairs spaces was a huge bonus. The kids loved the Escape Room, and the host was quick to help with clues. We enjoyed games, the large hot tub, and celebrating New Year’s together. We’d happily stay again—thank you!

One of our favorite stays ever! Probably the cleanest rental we have ever walked into. So much for our family to do in the space which fit our family of homebodies perfectly. Our kids didn’t say “bored” all weekend! Loved the hot tub/back deck, awesome game selection, and the vintage typewriter. Our kids loved typing up letters for friends. Easy drive to restaurants and shops. We loved Trailhead Pizza and Morgenstern Books. Our kids are already asking to come back. Thanks for a great stay!

The Barndominum was a great place for our family stay. We enjoyed the arcade games, hot tub, and finding Daisy escape room game. That was fun & just the right amount of challenge for our group with kids ages 10-15. We would definitely stay again when in the Bloomington area!

The barn was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen was very well appointed, allowing us to prepare our dish to pass for Thanksgiving dinner with family. There was a wide variety of games to play to keep us busy the rest of the weekend. Would highly recommend this place, especially if you have kids Thanks for a great stay!

Stayed at Brook’s place for the IU Wisconsin game this past weekend. They were great hosts and it was a very nice home to stay in for the weekend. We absolutely would stay again in the future! Thank you for a nice weekend away!
