Why share a hotel pool when you can have 16 private acres all to yourself?The Pool & Spa: Spend your summer afternoons lounging on comfortable teak furniture by the pool while the kids splash around. As the sun sets, retreat to the year-round hot tub where zero light pollution makes for world-class stargazing.The Land: Wander down to the private pond for a morning of catch-and-release fishing, or step directly off the property into the Hoosier National Forest. With no marked trails, you can use your GPS to forge your own path through hundreds of acres of pristine woods.
🛌 The Lodge Layout: Space for Everyone
Inside, you’ll find four beautifully renovated sleeping areas, each designed with high-end finishes and peaceful forest views.The Luxury Loft & Custom Bunks: Located just up the stairs from the game room, this airy, open-air sleeping loft features custom-built bunk beds. It's a guest favorite that adds a "classic cabin" feel with a modern twist, keeping everyone connected to the laughter below.
The Bedrooms: When you're ready for total quiet, our traditional bedrooms offer a serene escape with soft cotton linens and wooded views.
The Great Room: High ceilings and massive windows bring the beauty of the forest right inside. With a dining table for 10 and a huge island that seats 8, there is truly a seat for everyone at the table.
👨🍳 The Chef’s Kitchen: Effortless Hosting
We know feeding a group of 10 can feel like work, so we built a kitchen that makes it a joy. Our gourmet space is "double-everything" so you never run out of room, featuring 2 refrigerators, 2 stoves, and 2 dishwashers. You’ll also love the dedicated coffee bar for early mornings, plus a built-in high-capacity ice maker and beverage fridge to keep your poolside drinks cold all day long.
🎬 The Cinema & Games: Your "Rainy Day" Sanctuary
Step back in time in our private antique theater, featuring 100-year-old historic theater seats for 10 and a library of hundreds of movies for the ultimate night in. Looking for some friendly competition? Head over to the game room to challenge your group to a tournament on the 8-foot Olhausen pool table or chase a high score on the arcade games.

☀️ Frequently Asked Questions
Is there private hiking available on-site?
Yes! You have 16 private acres to explore, and our property line serves as a gateway to hundreds of acres of the Hoosier National Forest. Because this section has no formal trails, it offers a rare "off-map" experience perfect for backcountry hikers, nature photographers, and those seeking total seclusion.
What are the best summer activities at the Lodge?
Most guests spend their days moving between the 20x40 private heated pool, the private fishing pond, and the indoor gaming area. Evenings are best spent relaxing in the private hot tub or stargazing across our "Dark Sky" estate.
How does the "Double-Chef Kitchen" work for groups?
Large groups need extra space for meal prep and cold drinks. By providing two refrigerators, two stoves, and two dishwashers, you can easily store a week’s worth of groceries without playing Tetris or waiting around on cleanup.
Do you have any exceptions to your cancellation policy?To ensure your peace of mind, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance at checkout. Because we are a unique, single-property destination that tends to book months in advance, we are unable to offer refunds for cancellations, but comprehensive travel protection can cover your stay if unexpected plans arise.

We loved staying at this property. It was so amazing and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool, fishing pond, hot tub, movie theater room, arcade games, fire pit, and the grill. Each time we thought of something we may need to run and get - it was already there. We would love to stay here again.

We enjoyed our 4th of July stay. It has everything you need and the beds, linens and pool towels were exceptional ! The kitchen is fully stocked with nice dishes and anything you need for cooking. We appreciated the double washer and dryers especially for wet swim towels. The grounds are so pretty and totally private. Check in / out process was so easy. Great place for a family getaway and the property host was so nice to work with !

Honestly this was probably my favorite rental I’ve ever booked. Jennifer’s communications were amazing. The house and amenities exceeded our expectations. I hosted my daughters Sweet 16 and it was the best weekend. I am grateful for the house and the location to spend such a special day with her and her closest friends.

We were very pleased with the property for our stay. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We used the property as our gathering place for graduation weekend at Indiana University - Bloomington, and while it was a bit of a distance from Bloomington, it worked out really well for the extended family. I would recommend this property and the host whole-heartedly.

The lodge was a perfect getaway for our group! So clean and cozy from the soft blankets to the yummy soaps. This host thought of it all. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and coffee/hot cocoa bar. The host had great communication and a kind “no chores” checkout policy. We hope to be back soon!
