It was exceptionally clean, well stocked with games, books, and tvs. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, including water bottles, coffee and tea. It was a great location to be out of the bustle of the town, but close enough to Griffy Lake and trails to hike. Ethan was very nice and communicated with us before and throughout the stay. Our family of 4 was very happy here!

Great place; even better host!

We chose this spot because it was close to our kids’ apartment and also close to the basketball game we were going to. It is a great location and an impeccably clean house. Our host was friendly and very helpful. I would happily stay again!

Great stay - return guests

This was a return visit for us, after having a positive experience last year. We were in town for the Little 500 bike race, so the convenience to the stadiums was perfect. It is also a great landing spot for visiting family in Bloomington. The beds are comfortable, and everyone commented about how well they slept. The unit had everything we needed, and communications with Ethan were great. We will likely be back again!

Quiet, comfortable and clean.

Just like the title says… quiet, comfortable and clean. Check in was easy and the house was as advertised. Ethan, the host was a text away if there were any issues which there weren’t. I was in town for work and actually booked a second week while staying there. 10/10 will book again if available when I come back.

Excellent Experience

My family and I came down for family weekend. My oldest daughter is a freshman at IU. I was late to the party when it came to booking lodging. I found this listing. I originally booked it for me and my 2 daughters. With the date approaching, we had some change in plans and I had to add some family members. The owner, Ethan, was amazing and so easy to work with. Every time I had to apologetically change plans to add more family members, he always responded immediately with "no problem, I'll take care that for you " 100% would stay here again and recommend it to anyone needing a place to.stay in Bloomington.
