Taurina Cabin-Nestled in nature and tranquility. New updated indoor hot tub.

Cozy, rustic log cabin nestled in nature and tranquility. Permitting and inviting, fond of every season solemnly and distinctly to each unique phase of the year. Cool airy days when spring blooms. Surrounded by lively deep green trees with bright blue skies on warm summer days. Restful fall foliage blanket the ground while the trees dress in shades of reds, oranges, yellows, purples, and browns. Comfort in cozy pleasant winters at ease.

Slow time down and repose. Take leisure and be idle in a therapeutic hot tub while enjoying nature's views. Fish, Kayak or just soak your feet in our sizable pond. Picnic or explore outdoors. Reminisce and reconnect with family and friends by the bonfire. Snuggle up with that special someone alongside the fireplace. The adventures are endless!

Our welcoming cabin renders great space and comfort. Has small scale kitchen yet well equipped with plenty of sitting space. Granite counter tops, plenty of space and breakfast bar.

Perfect weekend getaway spot
The cabin is beautiful and located just far enough away but close enough to not be inconvenient. It’s our group’s second time staying here and we love it! Will definitely book again next year.

Wonderful property
We loved all the amenities that Taurina Cabin had to offer. We went with our adult children and grandchildren.The outdoor fire pit, new hot tub, fishing lake and swing were our favorites. The indoor porch and outdoor deck were very nice too. The setting is beautiful and peaceful. The interior decor was lovely. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. (There's no dishwasher, but we knew that when from the marketing materials. It wasn't stated explicitly, but it wasn't visible in the pictures and not noted in the things they did offer. Take paper plates or be prepared to roll up your sleeves and wash dishes) We took a couple day trips into Indianapolis and appreciated how close it was. We spent a lot of our time in the cabin playing board games and outside enjoying nature. It was a great to have the serenity to decompress and reconnect. This property has a lot of rules and the rules are posted in frames visible in many places, which was a little unsettling. Not being able to snack in front of the TV was the biggest issue for us because we wanted to eat popcorn while watching a movie. Just know what you're getting into when you go there. The rules are clearly noted in the promotional material...there weren't any surprises. We had a couple other issues while we were there -- loose dogs running on the property and garbage can filling up -- but the hosts were easy to reach, responded quickly and were very receptive. When we left, we all said we would like to book it again.

Beautiful Cabin
This is a spacious cabin with expansive, beautiful, remote property to enjoy. We especially enjoyed the fire pit, like-new hot tub with awesome jets, screened in porch and very comfortable furniture and beds throughout. The space is very well decorated in a cozy, but very contemporary style. It was perfect for all ages and allowed for the relaxed family meet up we envisioned. My 8 & 9 year old loved the swing in the yard and exploring the woods and the pond.

Nice secluded property
Overall we had a great time at this location and it was very clean. There were stop signs indicating no food/drinks in certain areas and some rules to follow but it was manageable. Based on other reviews we were off-put and very conscious about making sure everything was in perfect order. It made it a bit more stressful with two young children… The swing out front was a lovely addition for the kids and the fishing was pretty good at the pond- lots of small bass. The double beds are located in the basement. The air conditioning worked great but it was quite loud and squeaky during the night. If you closed the door it was much better. Overall this was a nice clean place to stay.

Great getaway
We really enjoyed the beautiful place set back in the woods. The pond was a highlight with it's row boats, as was the hot tub and campfire area. There were lots of places to hangout as a group which was fun. The cabin was nicely decorated, roomy, and comfortable. Everything seemed well stocked...towels, washcloths, toiletpaper, etc. We accidentally broke some kitchen items. When we notified the host they were very understanding and reasonable.

I would give this property a zero if you want to stay somewhere that has a lot of rules and you can’t enjoy anything and get charged for things you didn’t do then this would be the place had a living room and a family room couldn’t use no food or drinks in either and one of them had tv where family would gather but couldn’t use it dirty diapers and trash on property outside no dishwasher charged for some pizza thing when we didn’t even use it we made tacos and scrambled eggs don’t even know where a pizza thing was booked for 8 people only had dishes for 4 people and only enough silverware for 2 people had to eat with baby spoons had a hot tub that didn’t work barley had any pots and pans to do anything with This by far is the worst VRBO that I have ever stayed in I hope VRBO looks at comments and takes this one off

A Great Getaway
My family had a great stay at Apolonia's place. It was as advertised in a beautiful and remote area that was still close enough to stores if we needed anything. Would recommend getting side tables for all of the beds/sofa bed and easier access to plugs. Other than that we should have brought more trash bags!

Fantastic place to stay
This property is absolutely gorgeous and is a great place for a groups stay. I think 6-8 people is a perfect group staying at the property but if you want to entertain some friends outside you can get a lot of people in the outside bar area with a lot of room to roam. Overall I think this is the nicest place I've rented. The cabin was clean and well cared for. Beds are very comfortable and an overall comfortable feel was felt throughout. The outside areas are amazing. Could use a couple door adjustments and maybe a few more cooking/cleaning amenities and condemints etc. But that is my only complaint.

Lovely and clean secluded spot
The house and property were clean and well maintained the owner was very responsive to all questions. The owner notified us that mosquitoes had become a problem but they had the grounds professionally sprayed. We brought a couple of foggers and had no problems with the pests. Only one small quibble, there is no view of the pond from the house— otherwise perfect!

The cabin and property are absolutely stunning. Guests have nultiple sitting areas to choose from, both indoors and out. Walking through the woods and down along the river was peaceful and serene, and the hidden location allows you to escape. There are neighbors on each side, but they're not super close. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to prepare meals. Home is beautiful inside, and the hot tub room was nice. The owners dont allow food or drink in the living areas, which is a bit of a bummer when you want to play games or just hang with your friends/family. You can't flush toilet paper due to the septic for some reason, which can be a little weird with open-top trashcans and 8 people. The upstairs bedrooms were comfortable, but it did get a little warm and there are no screens on the windows. The queen bedroom needs some furniture to charge phones, put glasses, or anything (there are no nightstands or anything near the bed). The sofa bed was a little concave, and the bunk beds are a little tight height-wise (had a friend crack their head). Martinsville is a small town, but you're vlose to several great outdoor rec areas, Bloomington is only a 25m drive from the cabin if you're wanting great restaurants and some fun shopping.

Lovely cabin with all you need
My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Taurina Cabin. It is a beautiful property! It's set on a hill with a view of a water area down below and there are kayaks available for use. The cabin is lovely! It is so very well kept, updated, and has everything in it you may need. It is quite spacious, and well furnished with many amenities. Having the indoor hot tub and gas fireplace made it a very nice place for relaxing. Also, the owner responded very quickly to questions we had. I would highly suggest this cabin to anyone who's looking to come and stay in this beautiful area! If I were able to change anything at all, I would just suggest two things that may contribute to the already outstanding comfort of the cabin.... 1) Adding a dresser or bedside tables to the 2nd upstairs bedroom would be a nice addition. 2) Adding some type of door to the lower bedroom would give privacy and block out noise if someone is watching tv or sleeping in the other area.

A beautiful home in a setting that relaxes you upon entry. Only six of our family could get away for this extended weekend, but we six are renewed. Everything was so new, spacious rooms gave us plenty of gathering moments, and the setting in 13 acres is just heavenly. The queen bedroom needs a bedside table, and the disposal of toilet paper might be disclosed early to next visitors.

Late Family Christmas
I'm a busy caterer from northern Indiana...so our "extended family" holiday gathering was delayed until January. The owner graciously left the Christmas decor in place for us--the place is tastefully decorated, but not cluttered or over-done. My mother and I enjoyed a weeks respite, with my husband and our children coming and going at various times throughout the week/weekend, and all of us celebrating a late Christmas gathering on Saturday. It was WONDERFUL! The location is secluded, but close to town. The hot tub and fireplace...scenic views...rustic charm...all you could ask for, but also with all the modern conveniences you could want. Squirrels, red-headed woodpeckers and deer entertained us right outside the windows. We hope to make a return visit in warmer weather to enjoy the nearby pond/river, and the other outdoor amenities. Would recommend some bedside tables/lamps for the secondary upstairs bedroom for nighttime reading, and maybe a chair in that room...my mother is often awake at night.. but that is the only thing I could find to ask for! It's THAT GOOD! Oh...and a hair dryer! The upstairs beds were amazing. The lower level accommodated two couples and a kiddo quite well also. Communation with the owner was readily available, and she was helpful and friendly. Looking forward to Next Time!

Cabin in the woods
We really enjoyed a relaxing New Year weekend at Apolonia’s cabin in the woods. The place was decorated beautifully for the holidays. The host was quickly attentive with the one small issue we had with a door keypad lock. The cabin was very clean and set on a wonderful piece of property. Wish the weather would have been better because there is plenty to do outdoors. We would definitely be happy to make a return visit.
