Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Lindsey

I am a Bloomington native that graduated from IU. I know the ins and outs of Bloomington and love to share all that this unique town has to offer. We love the historic neighborhoods and renovated our 1890 home several years ago. We live in our home full time, but wanted to begin hosting for unique weekends like graduation. If you chose to stay with us - we hope you enjoy Bloomington as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood because it is a convenient walk to downtown, all of the homes are cozy with mostly all owner occupied homes so it's a quiet neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
Old home meets new/grand upgrades. Everything from the inside of the home is new. This home has underwent a major refresh with updated chef's kitchen and luxury bathrooms.
