About this house rental

Stay in one of Bloomington's rare historic Lustron homes—an iconic post-WWII steel home thoughtfully updated for modern comfort. Located between Indiana University and Bryan Park, this unique retreat features heated floors, a private fenced yard, designer interiors, and walkable access to campus, restaurants, and downtown Bloomington.

About This Space:
Stay in a rare historic Lustron home just steps from Indiana University, Bryan Park, and downtown Bloomington. This beautifully restored post-World War II enameled steel home combines mid-century charm with modern comforts, creating a one-of-a-kind stay in one of Bloomington's most desirable neighborhoods.

Whether you're visiting for an IU football game, Parents Weekend, graduation, orientation, a campus tour, or simply exploring Bloomington, you'll love the home's unbeatable location. Walk to Indiana University, enjoy the restaurants and shops along Kirkwood Avenue, relax in Bryan Park, or take a short drive to Lake Monroe.

After a day out, unwind in the sunroom, gather around the dining table with family and friends, or enjoy the privacy of the fully fenced backyard. Thoughtful updates, radiant heated floors, comfortable furnishings, and premium bedding make this a favorite home away from home.

The house is nicely decorated and cute, the yard is nice, and the bed was very comfortable. It wasn't ideal for me because there were loud parties at night 2 of the nights, and I was there to work in the very early morning. The host kindly provided earplugs, but it wasnt enough to block it out. The floors being bare concrete surprised me but they were clean and smooth (clearly i didnt read the listing closely enough). I appreciated the washer and drier with some detergent capsules. Furniture was a bit stained and not super comfortable. I had to fix the toilet i used about every 4 flushes because the flapper piece kept coming apart, which should be an easy fix. Overall it was comfortable and a nice house with ample space, but be aware that it is located among student housing if you visit when students are there and late parties are not your thing. The host was responsive and check- in was easy. The neighborhood is clean and felt safe.
