Welcome to Studio 604, hosted by Beyond the Path Vacation Rentals. Check out our excellent online reviews! Enjoy the perfect blend of privacy, convenience and tranquility at this stylish studio, your gateway to everything B/N offers. Just 8 minutes from downtown Bloomington and 15 minutes from ISU/Uptown Normal. Unwind and get cozy, play pickleball, stroll the quiet neighborhood, and enjoy comfortable furnishings, a well‑equipped kitchenette, and complimentary coffee.
Beyond the Path is a small, owner‑run collection of thoughtfully designed vacation rentals where every stay is personal, not just another rental. We focus on memorable details, quick communication, and genuinely warm hospitality so you can relax, feel at home, and know someone local truly cares about your stay.

Pickleball court available upon request. Two adirondack chairs outside for you to enjoy plus a Weber propane grill just in case you're in the mood to cook :-).
The studio is on our property but we value our own privacy as well as yours. We are here should you need anything but will give you as much space as you like. With the self check-in there will be no need to engage should you prefer to be incognito :-)
Our "neighborhood" is a small group of houses all set on over 5 acres on the south edge of Bloomington/Normal. Peaceful, calm and quiet is what we love best about our home. Your private studio shares our driveway but includes a small sitting area outside for your own use as well as access to some of the grounds to walk and enjoy the nature. Just minutes from anything in Bloomington/Normal you can experience privacy and convenience in our comfortable studio.
Parking for two vehicles directly in front of the studio. Additional space is available upon request. Just 5 minutes to state farm, 8 minutes to downtown Bloomington, 15 minutes to Rivian, 15 minutes to ISU, 10 minutes to US Cellular Coliseum.
The SW grounds are available for you to explore. The studio sits on 5 acres with a small creek at the back side, a small walnut grove and quiet streets for a nice walk. The pool area, shop building and main house are not available for guest use. The main house is adjacent to the studio parking area but is situated such that there is typically very minimal contact with us. Should you need anything though we are just a text or email away!
There are two dogs on property, one small and one medium size. They are both VERY friendly and will greet you with great enthusiasm. If you are uncomfortable with dogs please let us know and we will work with you to keep you comfortable during your stay. They are typically contained if we are off property but they do have an invisible boundary around the entire property and sometimes have free access to the entire grounds.
Security cameras- There are security cameras located on the front of both buildings viewing the driveway, front doors and front yard areas. These are not monitored and should not be relied upon for personal safety.
As a private small business owner, we do require a separate renters agreement for each booking. We abide by all privacy regulations required for all online businesses and maintain a high guest satisfaction rating. Should you have questions regarding this, please reach out. We are happy to answer any questions you may have!

About the host
Hosted by Kimberly Nave
My husband Travis and I are both contractors and enjoy creating unique and comfortable spaces. We love our dogs, have lots of kids (most of them grown) and we work hard to play hard :-)
Why they chose this property
The studio was created for our own family to use while visiting. It allows them (and us) space to breathe so we can just enjoy their company and not worry about disturbing each other with our schedules etc. The studio is situated such that it still provides us (and you) privacy to come and go with very little contact. Our location truly is the best of both worlds with a convenient location and almost total privacy.
