About this property

Rural Estate

Located near the Monroe County fairgrounds & airport; this ranch-style estate is a fun getaway for the whole family. While at the estate, enjoy family time around the dining table or bar, or hang out in the great room with 10-in-1 game table and 65" TV, or relax on the wrap-around back deck. The garage is included in the rental. Shopping & Restaurants are a 10 minute drive; guests can get to IU campus, Memorial Stadium or the IU Health Hospital in 20 minutes, or Lake Monroe in 30 minutes!

This ranch-style house has 2 lounge areas: the living room and the great room both have TVs (subscriptions not provided). There are 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms; the 1st bedroom has a queen bed, the 2nd has a king bed, and the 3rd has a twin bunk bed and a queen bed. The spacious 2nd bathroom is located off the great room with a soaker tub and separate standup shower. The large laundry room is accessible from the great room or 2nd bathroom.

The Kitchen is fully functional with a blender, drip & k-cup coffee maker, pans, skillets, baking sheets, and cooking utensils. There are also dishes, glasses, mugs, and silverware available to use during your stay.

To help accommodate those with allergies, my house is a smoke/vape-free environment.

Great place to stay

The house was a great place to stay. We were in town for a soccer tournament. This house was close to the fields, and restaurants. It had a game table that kept my sons occupied at our down times. Andrew was great to work with, and very accommodating as our plans changed slightly before and during the weekend.

IU Parent's Weekend

We had an enjoyable stay in this Bloomington property. It was a bit further from the campus than we would have hoped but advertised accurately. The house was very clean and the host was very accommodating. Even though there were some small differences between the listing and the house, he went out of his way to rectify and everyone enjoyed their stay. I definately recommend.

The family and I had the pleasure of staying at this rural retreat during the closing and remodeling of our new home. The property, location, and owners are all TOP NOTCH. Fully stocked with everything you need except food. I have stayed at many VRBOs and this is definitely a premium package. This place has all the amenities of the big city minutes away while enjoying the seclusion of this quiet neighborhood. Lake Monroe is also only about a 30 minute drive for nature lovers.
