From the listing, to the host communication, to their beautiful condo - all of it was exceptional. This unit was absolutely perfect for my wife and I while visiting our daughter at school. The pictures shown within the listing are certainly well done, but seeing it in person was even better! Joan's attention to detail within the condo was superb and the entire space was spotless. All rooms were well-appointed and you could tell a lot of thought was put into the finishing touches and extra toiletries. The bedrooms were spacious and the mattresses were very comfortable.The condo had everything you could possibly need for a great stay and Joan's communication throughout was fantastic! Will certainly stay here again in the future.

Really enjoyed our stay! Such a well appointed and comfortable space. Just loved all the IU decor! Walkable to the downtown (although it was too chilly to do that!), easy parking and easy to get in and out. Joan provided great information on checking in and navigating the complex. Hope we are able to enjoy this place again!

Week at the University

I stayed at this property while my kids were diving at the University. It was under 10 minute drive to the university. The property was clean, had everything I needed for a stay and the location was great for daily runs along the b-line (which the owner suggested and it was the highlight of my day)The owners were lovely to deal with and very responsive. Would stay here again next summer

Perfection

Stayed for 3 nights over our daughter’s graduation weekend. I wish I had known about this place sooner! It was perfect. So clean and comfortable. The best part about it was it was very easy to walk to places and meet our daughter without ever worrying about finding a parking space in town.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautifully styled condo! Every room is thoughtfully decorated in IU-inspired crimson and cream, creating a warm, inviting space that still feels fresh and modern. The attention to detail—from the playful patterns to the cozy textures—makes it feel like more than just a rental.The location couldn’t have been better. We were able to walk to the downtown area, the arena, and the IU campus with ease. We also appreciated the host’s recommendations for local restaurants—super helpful and spot-on!It’s clear this place was designed with both comfort and school spirit in mind. We’d happily stay here again!

Beautiful in Bloomington!

We were in town for a men’s volleyball tournament and met up with family for the weekend to watch our sons — and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and relax! The condo literally has everything you could want or need for the weekend and according to my husband, “the best coffee bar set up ever!!” The host was super communicative before, during, and after our stay — and left us a card/candy for Valentine’s Day!! The check-in/out process was very easy as was the parking. It is a great location, right near downtown, IU, Kirkwood St - you can’t go wrong staying here and we would certainly book it again if we find ourselves in Bloomington!

The Cream and Crimson condo was just perfect for us to stay while in town celebrating our son’s graduation. Upon arrival we were greeted with a lovely personalized box of goodies for our stay. Champagne/adorable IU grad cookies and just things to make us feel special. The condo was very clean and decorated adorable! Can’t say enough good things about this condo.

Everything you need!! 10 stars!!

We were in Bloomington for only a few days. We had come to pick out a headstone for my mother so not the best of circumstances but the Cream and Crimson made us feel at home. It was a place we could relax in comfort. It is a beautiful place. Very clean with gorgeous furnishings. The hosts even provided all the small bathroom amenities one might forget. Parking was easy and Joan was very communicative. I would stay here again without hesitation. However, for those used to sharing a king-size bed with their spouse or whoever, the bed was small for us but we made it work. Thank you, Joan for such a positive experience during our trip. Truly appreciated.

About the host

Hosted by Joan Jellison

Host profile image
I'm Joan, a retired teacher, and my husband Dwight comes from the corporate world. Our ties to Bloomington grew strong as both our kids graduated from IU. We adore Bloomington's charm, arts, and diversity, so much so that we've decided to share it by hosting on VRBO. We're excited to welcome guests and offer them a glimpse into what makes this city so special. Maybe one day, we'll even make it our permanent home.

Why they chose this property

We love walking and biking everywhere. Location was important to us when choosing a place in Bloomington. We walk to get groceries, walk to grab coffee in the mornings and dinner! Its such a nice change of pace from living in the suburbs while the kids were at home.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! We love feeling immersed in the community with all the happenings going on down town and we hope you love it as well! I'd be happy to share a list of our favorite things to do and places to eat if needed. Bloomington is such a great town and we are just so excited to be sharing our happy place with you!
