Nice spot for parents visiting IU students
The property was clean and well-maintained, and the owner communicated well. Just a short drive from campus, the location works well for visiting IU. The only challenge was a single shower, but that's only a minor inconvenience.

Wonderful Place To Stay
Bruce was a wonderful host and very communicative. The house was clean and ready for our arrival. He provided many extras including water bottles, play toys for the children and snacks as well as a fully equipped kitchen. The house is next to a municipal park, which was great for the 2 children in our group. Highly recommended, especially for families.

Lovely Home on a Beautiful Property
This was one of our best experiences as a family, staying on a VRBO property. I highly recommend this lovely house especially in the winter to make use of the fireplace! Bruce has some very beautiful birds visiting his property as a result of his carefully placed and fully stocked bird feeders. We were visited by some deer as well! Just down the road is a delightful walking trail along a creek and if you like playing tennis, the tennis courts near by are well maintained and open to the public. I highly recommend this property!

We'd love to come back
Stayed on property for a funeral weekend. Home is well appointed with high end appliances, every conceivable kitchen tool/gadget/dishes/glassware. Toys for kiddo's, work space for "work at home" types, and great location. Peaceful and quiet but close to everything. Would love to come back for a football weekend and something fun and use the fireplace! We didn't have enough time on property to burn this visit. Thanks for all you did to make a challenging weekend go smoothly!

Peaceful
We were in town for an IU football game. This location is about 10 min from the stadium. 2 adults and 3 teens. The layout is exactly as described. There is a very cool 360 degree fireplace in the middle of the living room. Bruce had dry wood and starters stacked and ready for us. Views of the park are great during the day. There is bike and walking paths 100 yards from the front door. Tennis and hoop courts and a decent sized play lot. Bruce was great to deal With. The property is great for a family. Might be tough for couples as only 1 shower bath but it’s clean and while We didn’t use there is a great outside deck and grill also over looking the park and preserve.

Making the College Drop Off Easier
We were delighted by this property, it's location next to a beautiful park with walking trails, tennis and more, the cleanliness of the house, the large windows providing lots of natural light and more. We were 3 families dropping our freshman boys at Indiana University and the pleasurable stay made it easier with a comfortable home base from which to launch them. Our host, Bruce, couldn't have been more accommodating. He never nickel and dimed us - as some hosts in the area have - when it came to things like an early check- in or an air mattress. Needless to say - I highly recommend this property and host!

Quick Getaway
We were pleasantly surprised by our stay in Bruce’s place. It looked great online but we didn’t realize it would be perfect for us! The location cannot be beat with things to do. The house was clean and my kids loved the toys and kids bedroom. Bruce was so generous in anything I asked. I would recommend this stay 100%.

As good in person as the pics
When I see pictures that are this well lit on VRBO I am pretty skeptical about filters and editing. However the place looked just as good in person. The natural light was wonderful, we enjoyed watching squirrels and birds on the deck, and we even got to see a few deer. If you are going to Bloomington to go to the bars this isn't a great location. We weren't doing that so we loved it. For all other purposes this is a wonderful house and the host was responsive whenever we needed him.

Bird lovers' paradise
This is a lovely property in a wonderful location. We enjoyed watching the wide variety of birds that frequented the feeders on the deck and the family of deer that strolled by most days. The house is well stocked. I brought several items "just in case
