Lovely home in a little neighborhood. Very well stocked and comfortable. It was a bit further from BSU and downtown than I was expecting. About 8-10 minutes to either. Great value!!

This was a fun place to stay for my short trip! Loved how close it was to a lot of local sites & stores. It’s a super clean & well-organized, and communication was great! If I’m ever in town again, I’d definitely consider staying here again!

We enjoyed our week long stay here - wonderful galley kitchen with tons of available cupboard space, large fridge w/ice maker, gas stove w/griddle, cute coffee bar, nice desk area w/two chairs. Please note - dining table is only 36" round (small). Cottage is nice size for two people. Comfortable beds and couch! Nice back deck w/4 clean chairs where we enjoyed the warm morning sunshine. Very quiet neighborhood. LR blinds lack an easy way to open/shut. We would have liked a few more hand towels and clean oven mitts. All plumbing very good. Abundance of dresser drawers available. We brought our bikes for riding the Cardinal Greenway; stored in LR area, per host suggestion. Would recommend Emmens Auditorium (BSU), Muncie Civic Theater productions, and the Bob Ross Experience in Minnetrista. The Ball Family story is fascinating! Thanks for the Hoosier hospitality!

We were visiting for a school competition at Ball State. It was very affordable and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean! It’s 13 minutes from Ball State according to GPS.

Kitchen had no toaster. Kitchen sink was very dirty. Coffee pot was very dirty, still had water in it from??? We had to wash it thoroughly before using. Overall the house had a strange smell to it, do t know if it was from cleaning products or what. Bathroom sink was dirty, soap dispenser was dirty and the shower was discussing! Sheets in one bedroom had something g white on them in two places. Would not stay here again; needs a good cleaning.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Mar 2026
We are sorry you were unsatisfied with your stay. We do have a toaster it was located in the cabinet above the stove! We are sorry the febreeze plug ins bothered you, that’s simply stains from the fragrance being released. Our home is clean and we take pride in that and 99% of the reviews on here say the exact same thing! Some just can’t be pleased 😊

This house is easy to locate, and great access to the highway. Neighborhood very quiet and clean. Beds were comfortable, amenities were plentiful and clean. Will definitely stay here again when in Muncie. My friend has stayed at a hotel for the last six years and has not found one he would stay at again. Cardinal Cottage for the win!
