Great stay close to IU!

We had a great stay for a few short days and easily could have stayed longer! With our soon-to-be 2-year old with us, having plenty of space for her to play was super, and it was wonderful being so close to IU and WonderLab museum. We typically make most of our meals when vacationing, so the only thing to be aware of is there are no pantry staples (such as cooking oil) aside from a few spices, so plan ahead as needed or make a quick trip to the grocery less than a mile away :)The space is great, the beds are super comfy, and there's plenty of room on the property (inside and out) to let kiddos play.We hope to be back for another stay on our next visit to Bloomington!

Perfect home for a football weekend

House had plenty of space for our family and college boys to come stay. Plenty of parking and we loved having a fall bonfire in the evening after the game.

Great stay

Beautiful historic home that was in a great location for us - would be great to visit in the warmer months too as there is an expansive yard. Bedrooms are large and lots of living space on main floor. Furniture is comfortable - only downside is if you had a larger family there - seating for just 5 people in the living area. There are dining room chairs and kitchen chairs if needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location, Good House

Great location just a short drive from the IU campus. We were a last minute stay, but the house felt a little unequipped. We didn't have any dish soap to adequately wash baby bottles nor extra trash bags. That said, it was what we needed and the space was good for a family.

Cute comfortable house

We were there a very short time, coming in just before bed and leaving early in the morning for a campus tour. This location is perfect for visiting Indiana University. The beds are comfortable and the layout works well. I would say they shouldn’t advertise as renovated l, although I’m sure they put work into it, the upstairs is certainly all original. Maybe lean into the old world charm?Also there was already garbage in the kitchen can, which I wouldn’t mind a little, but when the rules are to take out the trash, I don’t want to take out someone else’s or the candy wrapper that was under the bag and I took out too.Overall the place was clean and worked well for our stay.

Great location with a good stay

We felt this was a nice place to stay for our weekend getaway in Bloomington and visiting the surrounding area. Was very easy to access the heart of Bloomington and a short drive to Brown County. The home was mostly clean. The floors felt like they hadnt been swept before pur arrival but everything else was great. We did have to dig through some closets to find trash bags and a few other essentials but all in all a great stay.

Big house for a big family

This 1928 home was spacious, and had plenty of old world charm. The house and yard could use some upkeep BUT it served its purpose, housing a large group for a fun IU home game weekend. Thank you!

Easy in, easy out...

While this is an older home that's in the process of being renovated, everything was accessible and functioning as one should expect. Linens were clean, beds were comfy, and while a bit hard to find (the driveway is hidden a bit), once you were there it was easy to see why people enjoy the spot. It is not a fancy house by any means, but the communication with the landlord was easy and quick anytime a question came up. Looking forward to when the lower and upper decks are completed. I'd go back for sure.

Nice large house and property and a super convenient location.

We really loved the house and the close proximity to Indiana University. The only downside to our stay were the small details. There needs to be a better stock of cooking utensils and general supplies, there were no trash bags for the kitchen trash can and there were no kitchen towels or dishwashing materials. The house was perfect for our overnight stay but needs just a little more attention to the details.

Peaceful, large home

The wooded area makes it very peaceful, lots of birds and far enough from the neighbors to feel like you are on your own. In the early spring there is of course no foliage/leaves on trees like in the aerial pictures. I would love to stay in the summer or fall when it would feel more wooded. Old house, remodeled. Great location.Kitchen is sparsely stocked.
