My wife and I recently had the most amazing experience at the Scenic View Lodge. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning view of the lake and rolling hills of Monroe county from our bedroom window. The scenery was simply breathtaking and we couldn't believe our luck in having such a beautiful view right from our room. At night, the starry skies were a sight to behold and we spent hours stargazing from the comfort of our bed. The hot tub was another highlight of our stay, providing us with the perfect way to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. Speaking of which, the lodge is surrounded by beautiful hiking trails which we thoroughly enjoyed. The lodge itself was spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved it so much that we are already planning to return with some friends and their families in the future. Overall, our stay at the Scenic View Lodge was an unforgettable experience and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway.

This is a wonderful, big space that is perfect for a big family or friend group. I was hosting a reunion of some fraternity brothers during the Wisconsin football weekend and it was perfect. We were able to grill out, there were enough bedrooms and baths for 12 guys to have some reasonable privacy while all being together. Excellent big dining space and comfy space for watching TV. Location is feels ouy of the way but is only 10 mins from all the stores around college mall, and only 20 mins to Memorial Stadium. Plenty of refrigerator and freezer space and laundry capacity for a big group. The folks at the restaurant were super nice when we went over to see if we could get some extra ice. Beautiful view of Lake Monroe. It’s is a huge space but it feels cozy. Would definitely rent this again.

We rented the Lodge for a weekend to have a fun staycation. This place surpassed all our expectations. The main dining area has a wall of windows with an incredible view of Lake Monroe. We had family over and we were all able to comfortably sit for dinner. The kids loved the massive bedrooms & the hot tub! There was plenty of room for dance parties, building forts and crafts! The den provided a cozy ambience with the electric fireplace. We cozied up with a bottle of wine to watch our favorite show! If you’re looking for a nice getaway, the lodge is definitely your place to stay! We will stay again!

We loved it here! Not only were my kids so impressed with the place, they spent along time picking exactly which room they were going to stay in and provided some much needed disconnection time. They didn’t get on their ipads at all and we played games and cards that were provided and somehow agreed on a movie.
The place is also incredibly spacious - two complete masters and multiple other rooms allows a few families to stay comfortably.
It is honestly a great place for hosting family events and connecting to all eat and gather together, but it is still affordable if you just want to spend time with your immediate family.
overall, we had a great stay. cozy, clean, comfortable, and the view is hard to beat, especially being so close to town. The sunrise through the big windows was also 10/10

The house had plenty of room for everyone plus 3 refrigerators! The view is beautiful and peaceful! The owners are extremely friendly and helpful! If you have people with mobility issues, you need to know that there are places in the house that have two steps down to get to them.

We all loved this Lodge. The View is spectacular. The accommodations were very comfortable for all of us. We enjoyed the space sooo much that we chose to stay at the Lodge our full time. The food catered in by Scenic View was amazing. Highly recommend this Lodge in Bloomington. Large groups are very comfortable and well appointed. Again, the view is spectacular. The sunrise can take your breath away. Great way to start a day. Great place to gather.

Celebrated our family Christmas with our 5 grown children and their families. The home fit us perfectly. Each family had their own large room with it's own bathroom, which is important with a large number of young grandchildren. It's difficult to tell in the listing, but we had our own separate apartment suite that was attached to the main house. It was a welcome sanctuary after a long day of togetherness. Plenty of beds and rooms to gather. The host was amazing! Extremely helpful accommodating to our requests. The view from the home is spectacular! It seems remote, but is really close to everything Bloomington has to offer. Can't say enough good things. Everyone in our group loved the home. Thank you Jessica!

We loved using this property for our large gathering! There was plenty of room for everyone, and plenty of amenities to use. It was close to the IU campus, which was great for nostalgia visits, and for close proximity to mother bears :) everyone wants to do this regularly now, in no small part thanks to this location!

Wonderful place for our family Thanksgiving! Cooked an entire feast in the 2 kitchens and had room for everyone at the giant dining table. Plenty of bedrooms ensured everyone had their own space, and the spacious game room & dining room gave us room to hang out together. This was our 2nd time staying at the Scenic View Lodge and I would highly recommend it!

This was by far the best IU graduation set up for so many of our family (20) wanting to come celebrate with us. Did not feel crowed, we could all eat at one table. We enjoyed the outside space as well as the inside. Plenty of refrigerator space for food and drinks for 3 days. The scenic view did not disappoint. The whole family wants to have another outing here. Don’t hesitate, reserve now. :)

Great locale - view is wonderful. Very roomy. It is a bit quirky and needs the remodeling to be finished. Th additional acreage noted is not easily accessed and you may have to walk through an active campground.

The huge table in the dining room seats 12 easily. The big table in the kitchen is very handy when preparing large meals. The antique furniture pieces are interesting to see. The apartment came in handy for our large group.

First of all, I live a half mile from this lodge and needed extra guest space for holidays. The setting is beautiful, including the view of Lake Monroe! The long dining table was perfect for our family dinner and games. Everything was decorated beautifully starting with a large Christmas tree and all the extra details in other rooms. From a senior guest using a walker, to a couple with an 18 mo old active baby...everyone found a bedroom to fit their needs!
A few brave guests enjoyed the hot tub twice on 2 very cold winter nights!!! You must see and stay at this lodge to really appreciate all you get for the value. I don't know of anyplace like it around this area and we will use it again for our next family gathering!

The house is very spacious with many areas for people to congregate/get away if necessary. Great for large groups (we had 20ppl) as long as some are willing to share rooms/spaces with others. Also, there were plenty of spaces for the 11 cars + 1 boat to park. Perfect location for Monroe by day and Bloomington by night.

The lodge had a fantastic configuration for a family stay with children, adults and seniors. There were plenty of towels, bedding, kitchen utensils, etc. Loved the fire pit and hot tub and common areas. All 16 of us could eat together, play together, and hike together. Great space!
