Top Cartop State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

SkyGazers Delight. One of the Safest areas in Bloomington. Super easy access!!

10/10 Excellent

"The property is 5 miles from the IU campus and a 15-minute drive with graduation traffic. It's situated in a country setting and perfect for 6 people (7 if using the couch). The host was awesome, offering to pick up anything we wanted on-site when we arrived. The house was very clean and had extra pillows/blankets if needed. We had an absolutely wonderful time and couldn't recommend it more for families/groups during peak times when you're OK not being in the center of the college. Perfect for Mom's, Dad's, and Parents' weekends."

The Hoosier Lake House

10/10 Excellent

"Host was very accommodating and house was better than expected. Pictures don't do this place justice. This place is very unique and very well decorated. Interesting memorabilia everywhere you look. Definitely feels like home. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful house. Would definitely stay again."

Bloomington Cabin, Mins to Campus/lake Monroe

10/10 Excellent

"We had our two dogs with us, and they loved the place. It is just beautiful! The owners were on-site; but this apartment is above their garage, and we didn't cross paths at all. Recommendation: Don't bring a lot of things to carry. The owners did state up-front that there are a lot of stairs. There are pots, pans, plates, bowls, glasses, utensils, serving pieces, and flatware. The floors are hardwood and tile in the bathroom. There are two closets, a chest of drawers, and a dresser in the bedroom. Lots of storage in the kitchen and bathroom. Towels and bath rugs are provided. There is a huge refrigerator and stove, dishwasher, and microwave, and an island with bar stools and a bar sink. The fireplace is electric. The entire place is farmhouse/industrial as far as decorations and fixtures. There are two TV's, one in the living room, and one in the bedroom. The entire apartment has wooden clapboard walls, pitched ceilings, and window curtains. Just gorgeous! "

Lovely Cabin in Bloomington

10/10 Excellent

"Check in/check out process was super easy. We had everything we needed, except for trash bags, which we were able to get from the office. All linens, dishes, silverware, pots and pans were provided. There is a stove, but no oven. I’d advise against buying food from the convenience store down the road from the campground, but if you do, check the expiration dates on everything. I’d definitely check out Lake Monroe. It is stunning! We will definitely be back. My only complaint is the mattress is pretty uncomfortable. "
