WOW. They meant it when they said the location is great! The home was spotlessly clean, and there were a ton of nice conveniences such as hot cocoa, fuzzy blankets, and just like everything you need for a Bloomington foray. The hosts did a superior job of striking a balance between the craftsman charm of original features with modern amenities.

Great experience overall! The house is nice, clean, and very comfortable. Its in a quiet neighborhood near campus with all the amenities you need for an easy stay. The rental process was super easy as well, with very communicative and flexible owners. The one issue we had during our stay was promptly addressed on the weekend. Would definitely stay again when I am back!

Perfect Couples Getaway

Base Camp was the perfect place for our couples’ weekend. The owner communicated well leading up to our stay and everything was as expected. The owner even put water/drinks in the fridge and had a little care package for us (snacks/cinnamon chip bread). Those little added extras made a big difference & we will definitely stay here again!

Burnett family VRBO experience

Great house, perfect location, excellent for our two dogs who traveled with my wife and son to visit me during a two week work shift in Bloomington. Very tame deer every night and morning in the neighborhood and yards was very cool. First VRBO for me but was simple, easy, clean, and fun.

It was a lovely home and there were no surprises. We would stay there again. The only recommendation would be a railing for outdoor stairs.

Everything you need

The property manager responded quickly. The house was cute, clean, in a great location and its amenities went beyond our expectations. I felt very welcomed with dog treats, toys, and bowls available for my dog and snacks for my hungry teens. The beds were super cozy. I would stay again and highly recommend this property.

Basecamp is everything you need for great visit to Bloomington

Hosts are responsive, attentive but unseen. Spent two nights back in town with my college aged kids. Had a great time. Three king beds in large separate bedrooms was a bonus. As was two full bathrooms. Very comfortable place to stay. Large TV was great for watching games after grabbing carryout from various nearby restaurants. I will be returning here for future visits to Bloomington

Cute House, Great Location!

My husband, daughter, and I stayed in this adorable house because my daughter attended New Student Orientation at Indiana University. The host was so gracious and accommodating even before we got to the house. She answered all of my questions and even allowed us to check in early. The house was very comfortable and the host was amazing! She left us delicious bakery bread along with snacks plus the home was very well stocked and other everything we needed
