A few kind words from our guests
*"This property was exactly what we needed. We had just sold our house, were in between homes, and needed something in the city. The house is 200 feet from Bryan park which was perfect for our toddler, and walkable to several shops/cafes. The kitchenware was fully stocked, and there were plenty of towels. We loved having laundry onsite and the range in the kitchen."*
*"This house was wonderful for our family stay in Bloomington. It had all we needed to feel right at home and we loved watching the rabbits and deer that visited the backyard daily. We would definitely stay here again."*

Thank you so much, Mia! We’re glad you enjoy the home and its location—it’s always a pleasure hosting you and your family in Bloomington. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime!
The king bed in the back needs a memory foam topper and the grill needs a new cover and I will try and get the outdoor patio ready considering this is becoming more of an outdoor time in Indiana other than that facility was phenomenal. Meet expectations. I’ll be staying there next week.
Nice open feel. twin beds felt small but beds were comfortable.

This home was wonderful for our 5 night stay in Bloomington. We enjoyed the kitchen and the comfy front room (filled with plenty of games). Would have loved to play in the backyard, but we ran out of time. Hosts were easy to work with. I would stay here again!

Perfect stay for graduation weekend. Very clean and all the kitchen amenities you would need. The open kitchen and living space was perfect to have our family between graduation ceremonies . Easy uber ride or nice walk to the end of campus
