About the host
Hosted by Renae Kollen
Hello! I'm your host, Renae. My husband and I have 3 amazing kids. I'm a Realtor and we live in Fort Wayne, Indiana but LOVE the Bloomington area!
This is our first short term vacation property in Bloomington and we hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.
When given the opportunity we like to be here as often as possible and enjoy all the fun things it has to offer from sporting events, campus life, great food/drinks, wineries, shopping boutiques, hiking trails, artwork, and of course, the natural beauty of this area.
We are elated to have this opportunity to host guests from near and far and share this amazing part of IN, ~ enjoy!

What makes this property unique
The home was built in 1913 and we transformed it into this amazing vacation rental in 2024! While keeping some of the original charm, such as the door and doorknobs.
We chose it because of its adorable bungalow charm, good size front porch and yard for relaxing and gathering. The convenient location to so many Bloomington and IU amenities was also a huge bonus!
