Escape to Hidden Grove-Games•Hot tub•Huge Fire-pit

Nestled in the woods on 2 private acres just 10 minutes South of Bloomington, IL. Enjoy seclusion & convenience all in one. Rejuvenate in the hot tub, have a beverage under the stars, read a book out in the hammock, roast smores over the fire-pit, explore the local parks or just relax and watch the trees sway in the breeze. End the day with dinner on the high end Napoleon grill or a quick trip to the local diner. Either way you will leave relaxed and rejuvenate at Hidden Grove. Just 4 minutes to Hesed House and less than 30 minutes to Clinton Lake, 20 minutes to ISU, 17 minutes to Wesleyan/Carle Bromenn and all the other restaurant and entertainment options that Bloomington/Normal has to offer.

The entire home and property is yours to explore. Please note that the woods behind and to the side of the property are not part of our parcel and are off limits. There is a private driveway down the deck side of our parcel with very little traffic but you may see a car here and there.

We do not reside on property but are not far away should there be an emergency. Feel free to reach out at any time with questions or concerns.

Our cabin is a short drive outside of Bloomington a few miles into the country. The last mile is a beautiful secluded tree lined road with a few neighboring houses. Once you turn at our well marked mailbox (look for the A-frame sign on the post with the white mailbox) you will meander through the woods for a short bit before you come up the lane to the A frame style cabin.

You will need a car for transportation. There is room to park 6 cars comfortably on this large property.

This cabin is beautifully remodeled from a historic property built originally in 1969. Therefore there are some creaky floors on the second level and the HVAC is less traditional than a typical newer construction. However, it stays quite comfortable during any type of weather. There is also a somewhat steep lane coming in to the property. Should there be snow or ice this short area may be difficult to navigate in a rear wheel drive car. We will plow and ice melt but we do not control mother nature. However, we don't live far away and in the case of severe weather will be at your service to assist as needed. :-)

Items to note: There is a security camera on-site located on the light pole near the shed. This camera views the driveway, front of the home, parking area, parts of the yard and the outdoor area including the hot tub. This device is solely for security purposes and is not monitored, do not rely on it for personal safety. This home is equipped with devices that monitor the environment inside and outside the property (including noise levels, temperature, smoke air quality) to ensure guests have a pleasant stay and our neighbors are not disturbed. This does not record sound as our guests privacy is key. Tampering with any security device will unfortunately be cause for immediate cancellation with no refund.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Amazing Getaway
This was the perfect getaway for a winter stay! The A frame was so spacious and clean, a true home away from home. Staying after a fresh snow was beautiful and the hot tub was the cherry on top. The perfect balance between relaxing and playing games on the infinity table, making meals in the spacious kitchen, and making memories together!

Very nice vacation hideaway
My two daughters (ages 10-12) and I really enjoyed our 3 night stay. We loved the game table, hammock, swing, hot tub, kitchen and all of the nice seating areas. The appliances and furniture are top notch and functional. I did not give it a five star rating because of the air conditioners. It might seem like a small detail, but they window units in the kitchen and bedroom. They were so loud when they were on that we couldn’t hear each other talk in the kitchen and, in the bedroom, it would wake up the person sleeping next to the unit. I would suggest wall mounted units. Overall, the property is gorgeous and a great location. Thank you!

Great getaway
The house had pretty much everything you could need for cooking and lots of little extras. Very cute and charming house secluded in a country setting. We were so happy to come across such a clean and comfortable property where we were able to bring our dog who enjoyed getting to join her humans on a weekend getaway :)
