Amazing Lake House
We had the most incredible weekend at Garrett & Ewa’s place! They communicated so well with us before hand when planning my sister’s wedding celebration! Everyone loved the space. It was all as pictured and even better than expected!

The modern
Price was a little high, but for the university graduation weekend, it was to be expected. Hotel rooms go for $1500 a night!

2 bedroom home on the campus of Indiana University
This is the second time I stayed at John’s property. It is conveniently located on campus, and walkable to the stadium. The home is furnished tastefully, clean and stocked with all essentials. John also responds quickly to questions. I would definitely recommend checking out this property. It’s a gem!

The B-Line Puplands
We were so impressed with everything at Alex’s place. We totally appreciated the snack layout especially - LOL. There was plenty of space for us all. We totally enjoyed the access to the B-line. The decor was amazing, especially as IU grads of the early 90’s. The porch was a great hang. We played cornhole in the back yard. We would definitely stay there again!

Lil BUB's Really Nice Apartment - WEST
Had a great stay! Great location, love being near Bryan Park! Michael was super proactively communicative and the apartment itself was very clean and comfortable. Appreciated the thoughtful additions of coffee/tea and noise machines. Would stay again!

Campus Artist's Cottage - 1 Block to IU
We had both of Amy’s airbnbs over IU graduation wknd. We’ve been staying at the campus house for 4 yrs. I just realized that I left a review for that house on her woodland retreat house (new to Airbnb). Doesn’t seem to be a way to edit, so I’ll comment on that here: Outdoor wonderland! Beautiful! The house is great and comfortable, too! Amy’s artistic eye is obvious :) Having gotten to know Amy during our daughter’s past 4 yrs of undergrad at IU, I can attest that she is not only one of the best Airbnb hosts, but truly one of the kindest people on the planet💚…our dogs agree☀️

Unique Tiny House
I very much enjoyed staying in the Tiny House. I went to school at IU so I was very familiar with the area. Walking back and forth to IU's campus brought back a lot of wonderful memories about my time here. Just outside of the Tiny House's front door is a beautiful garden that I enjoyed looking at while drinking my morning Tea (even during a downpour).

StayIU B-Town Bungalow Quick Walk to IU & Kirkwood
Excellent accommodations - have stayed multiple times and will be back!

Waterford Oasis
We had such a wonderful stay! Cindy was super quick to respond to all our questions and was communicative, friendly and accessible throughout our time there. The place was beautiful - clean, comfy, well stocked and had everything needed to feel totally at home. The property is gorgeous. we spent our evenings watching the fireflies dance in the trees and dipped in the pond for a refreshing swim and enjoyed sunset everyday on the deck. We extended our trip another week because we didn’t want to leave! It was so relaxing - truly a perfect spot for some healing R&R time which we really needed. Thank you Cindy & Rick! xxx

Modern Nashville Home in the Woods
We will be back! This was a terrific space to disconnect from the demands of life and enjoy some quality time and connect with nature.

Great, comfortable spot for a quick weekend getaway. Exceptionally clean and well furnished. Feels secluded yet close to town. The Bloomington Speedway is a fun, affordable and unique night out if something is going on during your stay. Would definitely stay again.

Iris House
We had a great stay! The house was clean and in a great location. This was the most well-stocked airbnbs I’ve ever stayed at - from drinks and snacks to towels and blankets. It was the perfect place for our wedding group to stay at for the weekend.

Simple Blessings Cabin
This was our 2nd visit to Simple Blessings. We absolutely love it. Great way to spend my Birthday. Brian always checks in. So helpful. Love the sweet note , bread and Book. Will be back for sure.

School house cottage
The location was so peaceful and yet close to everything in Bloomington. I enjoyed the deck in the morning with sun and coffee and we enjoyed the fire one evening. The shower head added to the pleasant experience. It is all the little things that add to an enjoyable and we thank you for a nice stay.
