10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Beautiful house, full of character. We rented for a wedding at the IU auditorium and was a very easy walk to that and to bars on kirkwood. Loved all the little touches like wireless charging pads next to all the beds, extra outlets and toiletries in the bathroom. Super helpful that it was very kid friendly ( they had a crib, highchair, plates/utensils, toys and board games). Would recommend for anyone with a few people needing to stay in Bloomington. The host was very responsive to questions leading up to the trip.
