Hope to come back!

We had 8 IU Moms staying here to visit our sons who became friends in their freshman dorm. Now all the moms are friends and this place was perfect for our annual visit. The boys loved the garage game room and we had to kick them out so we could go to sleep!

Perfect family location for IU Graduation

This is a great location for IU graduation. Minutes south from campus. We had 3 generations of family members at the property. Beautiful sun room is a great place for everyone to hang out and have breakfast to start to day. Easy to drop off anyone who needs a break during the day.

Perfect for a gathering

The multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, and large backdoor patio were perfect for our get together. Would definitely recommend if you're traveling to Bloomington with a group. Quick Uber ride to downtown, or you can stay and hang at the house as it has everything you need (pool table, foosball, etc. The whole process with Jonah was super simple as well. Definitely recommended.

So much space! Great location!

We had a large group stay at this property. Ranging from a one—year-old up to grandparents. There was so much room with many tables and spaces to hang out. Beds were comfortable and there are lots of them. Easy place to stay for a large family. Well appointed with Toys and games and lots of kitchen stuff I will definitely stay here again

Great Times!

We had a great time renting this property! The property had plenty of room for all 13 of us and had plenty of amenities to use. The communication with the owner was a bit slow and non responsive on the VRBO app but was improved once phone numbers were given. This was the first place I have ever stayed at through VRBO and I’d definitely recommend this place if you have large groups!

Great Place for Family Reunion!

The house was just as described, and very comfortable and spacious for the 9 of us that stayed here for a family reunion. Very clean and the kitchen was well-stocked. We attended an IU game while in town and it was a short drive to campus. Jonah was very responsive whenever I had questions. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again if we return to Bloomington.
