The Bread and Butter is an inviting National Park themed home that offers great value, very attentive and welcoming hosts, an excellent location, ample parking, and amenities including a fenced yard. This home is family friendly and was able to accommodate rotating family visitors and our small dog. Situated in a quiet and friendly residential neighborhood a short walk to Bryan Park, and close to both IU and downtown Bloomington.

Hello, Thanks for the great review! We hope all went well with the performance and you had a nice visit. We also hope Oliver enjoyed his Bark Box toy that we've been saving for him. Sorry, we didn't get the lawn mowed prior to your arrival. We are looking forward to hosting you in November! Jane and Tony

Wonderful stay in quiet neighborhood near campus.

Jane thought of everything and responded almost instantly to any questions we had. We only had one car but there was tons of off-street parking which isn't always the case. Could easily walk to campus and very central for everything else. Would certainly stay here again.

Perfect for Mom's Weekend!

Bread and Butter was just perfect for Mom's Weekend at IU and also to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Being away from kiddos is hard enough, but this home was perfect for making our visit feel like home. The hosts were great, leaving us special treats, and the home had everything we needed. The location was perfect, the backyard was spacious, beds comfy, and had all the amenities. Can't wait to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by Jane Feller

Host profile image
Hello,
We have been married forty-four years and we have raised four children, including one set of identical twin boys, another son and a daughter. We also have one grandson. Indiana University brought us to Bloomington in 1980 and we fell in love with the town and surrounding wilderness and just couldn't leave. We love hiking, camping, boating and music. Also, raising three cyclists, we fell in love with biking and our Airbnb reflects our interests of many of our adventures of National Parks, other vacations and the community of Bloomington. We are both teachers, Physical Education, Special Education and Auto Technology.

Why they chose this property

It's a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to campus and downtown. It's also 2 blocks from Bryan Park which has a walking path, a public pool, basketball, tennis and volleyball courts and an updated playground. We also have urban deer that wonder though the neighborhood which we enjoy watching.

What makes this property unique

This home is an excellent IU location, 6 blocks directly south of the IU Law Building, close to Kirkwood and the downtown area. It's ideal for parents or anyone who plans on attending an IU event. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood with lots of dog walkers. It's also only two blocks from a walking and running trail at Bryan Park.
The Bread and Butter is designed to make a person feel like they are home-a-way from home and with the National Parks themed rooms, we home to inspire people to enjoy the great outdoors, take time to appreciate nature and perhaps plan their next adventure.
