Tori Jane is a storm chaser, writer, photographer, and the village idiot - in that order. When she's not out and about dancing with the meanest storms on planet Earth for funsies she can be found wandering, shooting landscapes, writing, editing photos, and otherwise up to no good. Legend has it that she can also be occasionally spotted typing up short bios in the third person, but those rumors are unsubstantiated.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Of all the best places to stay in Indiana, we here at Only In Your State hold a special place in our hearts for tiny escapes. Tiny houses, tiny cabins… you know the deal. Minimalism is in right now, and so are tiny-but-mighty spaces. So, how about we combine tiny spaces and amazing outdoor attractions for a delightful escape in Indiana’s Hoosier National Forest? We think yes. Next time you want to explore Indiana’s amazing Lake Monroe, check out this delightful studio cabin rental:
Located about 10 miles from Bloomington, Lake Monroe - sometimes also called Monroe Lake (tomato/tomahto) - is an outdoorsy person's dream come true.
The list of fun things to do at Lake Monroe is long and bountiful; you can hike, swim, kayak, camp, hunt... you get the idea. If you can dream it, you can probably do it.
Kayaking is definitely a favorite pastime among locals and folks who visit the lake from other parts of Indiana.
It's calm, relaxed, and an amazing way to get outside and enjoy the world. But as long as you're here for the lake, you'll need a place to sleep - and I found the perfect little spot.

This is Tower Ridge Camp: a tiny studio cabin just mere minutes from the lake that's perfect for serving as home base.
Although the cabin sleeps up to five, I personally recommend it for a self-care escape. It is truly the perfect space for one. Enjoy home-cooked meals and relax to the sounds of the forest each night. Venture out and explore Lake Monroe (and the Lake Monroe Spillway) by day.
At most, invite your significant other and enjoy fire pits outdoors side-by-side at night and kayak together during the day.
So there you have it: what might just be the best cabin rental near Lake Monroe in Indiana! And while you’re here, Brown County State Park is also just a stone’s throw away (and 200% worth visiting). To book your stay at Tower Ridge Camp, please do so well in advance on its official VRBO listing.
