Cyndi was a great host! The Bungalow exceeded expectations. It was very walkable to campus. We stayed on a very hot weekend and the central air worked very well for an older home. The home is very clean and the amenities Cyndi has really separate this property from others.
We needed a place to get our daughter organized and ready for drop off at IU and the home was perfect for that. Cozy space, close to town, washer & dryer, etc. We are bummed we’re not staying there again when we’re back for Family Weekend.
Perfect location for downtown venturing. Walking path is a few blocks away. Plenty of at, music, food, and drink within minutes. Absolutely wonderful stay!!
Abundantly perfect cottage! Loved this place, owner is very responsive and welcoming. Everything you need for a few days stay is here. Great location, very clean and convenient. 5 stars!
Great area and very walkable. Neighborhood is peaceful. The well-stocked kitchen makes you feel welcome and comfortable. The beds could be more supportive and comfortable, and the TV screen was a bit small. Overall, a thumbs up!
The bungalow was very well equipped. Cyndi was a great host with great communication and took extra steps to make our stay wonderful. We were there for my son’s graduation and she left special treats for him. Under normal circumstances great value. But as every place in Bloomington high prices during graduation weekend. Definitely recommend.

A sweet little 1920s cottage with both original details and wise updates. So many thoughtful touches made this a unique and very comfortable stay. Highly responsive owner with great communication. Full-size appliances, impeccable cleanliness, and lots of whimsy. It was a true retreat from some intense training I was undergoing. I very much enjoyed staying at this property and hope to return some day.
This place was perfect, clean great location and our host Cindy was awesome.

About the host
Hosted by Cyndi Johnson
I'm a lifelong Hoosier with the exception of a stint in California for graduate school. My husband and I moved to Bloomington in 2005 when I was pregnant with my first child, and we never looked back. We love it here, and are so very pleased to be realizing a lifelong dream of hosting a BNB. I have 3 children -- one of whom has Down syndrome and will live with me forever -- so I needed to find a creative way to bring her to work with me. If I let her pick the tunes, she can be quite a good helper with making up beds and dusting. Hosting is something we can do together for years to come.
