A few kind words from our guests
*"This property was exactly what we needed. We had just sold our house, were in between homes, and needed something in the city. The house is 200 feet from Bryan park which was perfect for our toddler, and walkable to several shops/cafes. The kitchenware was fully stocked, and there were plenty of towels. We loved having laundry onsite and the range in the kitchen."*
*"This house was wonderful for our family stay in Bloomington. It had all we needed to feel right at home and we loved watching the rabbits and deer that visited the backyard daily. We would definitely stay here again."*
