About this lodge
Scenic View Lodge
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Sitting on 22 acres of beautiful Indiana land, Scenic View Lodge and the Hickory Suite overlook Hoosier National Forest and the gleaming shoreline of Lake Monroe. Ideal for those looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, Scenic View is the perfect spot to sing around the campfire, gaze up at the stars, and host sweet summer barbecues. Lake access is within three miles of the home, where you can swim, fish, and boat. Additional shopping, dining, and entertainment options are less than 10 miles away.
Splashed with natural light, the interior of Scenic View Lodge's main house combines charming rustic elements with modern conveniences. The chef of your group will have no issues utilizing the full kitchen's stainless steel appliances and ample meal prep space. When it comes to dining, the expansive formal dining table and in-kitchen table are well-suited to host family-style meals. After your meals, gather in the family room for movie viewings, board game competitions, and tasty cocktails - prepared at the stand-alone bar. The bedrooms are equally comfortable and offer easy access to the bathrooms.
The cozy interior of the Hickory Suite features high ceilings, comfortable furnishings, and a well-equipped kitchen. The wooden desk is a pleasant spot to catch up on your reading or tune into a remote work project.
Additional interior perks this property has include a jetted tub, a private washer/dryer, ample storage space, and internet access.
As the sun's yellow, orange, and pink hues begin to flood the sky, head for the scenic hot tub - just in time to watch the stars make their dazzling appearance.|

Great place to stay in a beautiful area. Easily holds a crowd of people comfortably. Jenny was a spectacular host. Quick to respond, friendly and very understanding. Would highly recommend staying at Scenic View. The restaurant is an added plus. Great food and awesome service!

This lodge is perfect for families and groups of friends. It's close to different hikes, and the lake. The food at the restaurant is so yummy. The hosts were so hospitable and responded quickly to our inquiries. Can't wait to visit again.
8.0 / 10.0
The house has 5 areas with a bathroom where different family groups can sleep. It also has 3 refrigerators. The view of the lake and trees is beautiful and peaceful. There are some places you have to go up and down steps to get to them and three of the bedroom groupings are upstairs.

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.

There were 17 people that stayed at the house, 5 different families, 9 adults and 8 children. Ages ranged from 3 months old to 65. It was a perfect set up so everyone could have their own space and bathroom. Very clean. Beautiful setting! Very pleased!

What a beautiful location! Convenient for large parties, great room for dining and entertainment! Access to Lake Monroe, hiking trails, and a nice restaurant (killer Bloody Marys and nice breakfast).

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!
10.0 / 10.0
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!
