We visited Bloomington for a celebratory family event weekend, and couldn’t have found a better place to stay. The house was conveniently located, very clean, and had everything we needed provided. The owners responded to questions and requests almost immediately. Price was good, and the value for dollar was good. Wil definitely consider for a future stay!

Lovely home near the Bluebird!

My friends and I came into town to see a show at the Bluebird and found this great home just a short walk away from the venue. The place is super comfy and clean and had everything we could need! The home made cookies were delicious and lasted about 5 minutes after arrival. Very simple process to check in and out and we would absolutely stay here again if we’re in town again.

About the host

Hosted by Doug Bruce

Host profile image
I live right here in Bloomington and grew up here. I host because I too travel and use VRBO and decided I wanted to take the best of what I have experienced and provide it here. I am a cyclist and I collect and race vintage cars. I enjoy being outdoors.

Why they chose this property

This location is within a 5 minute walking distance to the best, largest, and newest, city parks. (Google Bryan or Switchyard parks). It is also a five minute walk to the new B-Line trail; a multi-use trail that connects us to downtown and Switchyard park. Along the trail is a distillery, numerous coffee shops, and a grocery store.

What makes this property unique

The location between the parks, the ease of parking, and the Hoosier/Bloomington theme with it's ample living room, thoughtful touches, makes this house stand out from the rest. We have taken the best of what we want in vacation homes and have thoughtfully added it to our bungalow. Ease of parking, and walking distance to restaurants and parks, make this location perfect for families. The Hoosier Bungalow is also only used as a rental and not someone's home, so you can make it yours for the duration of your stay.
