Perfect Couples Getaway

Base Camp was the perfect place for our couples’ weekend. The owner communicated well leading up to our stay and everything was as expected. The owner even put water/drinks in the fridge and had a little care package for us (snacks/cinnamon chip bread). Those little added extras made a big difference & we will definitely stay here again!

Burnett family VRBO experience

Great house, perfect location, excellent for our two dogs who traveled with my wife and son to visit me during a two week work shift in Bloomington. Very tame deer every night and morning in the neighborhood and yards was very cool. First VRBO for me but was simple, easy, clean, and fun.

Everything you need

The property manager responded quickly. The house was cute, clean, in a great location and its amenities went beyond our expectations. I felt very welcomed with dog treats, toys, and bowls available for my dog and snacks for my hungry teens. The beds were super cozy. I would stay again and highly recommend this property.

Basecamp is everything you need for great visit to Bloomington

Hosts are responsive, attentive but unseen. Spent two nights back in town with my college aged kids. Had a great time. Three king beds in large separate bedrooms was a bonus. As was two full bathrooms. Very comfortable place to stay. Large TV was great for watching games after grabbing carryout from various nearby restaurants. I will be returning here for future visits to Bloomington

Cute House, Great Location!

My husband, daughter, and I stayed in this adorable house because my daughter attended New Student Orientation at Indiana University. The host was so gracious and accommodating even before we got to the house. She answered all of my questions and even allowed us to check in early. The house was very comfortable and the host was amazing! She left us delicious bakery bread along with snacks plus the home was very well stocked and other everything we needed

Comfort meets cuteness & convenience!

This was the perfect little-big house for a family gathering! My family loved every detail, from the prompt communication with the hosts, (Thank you, Jane!!!!) to the beautiful yard and side patio with a BBQ, to the apacious intwrious ans styllish rooms. The updated kitchen-living room combo had a wonderful open floor plan for entertaining, the bedrooms were large and beautifully decorated, the bathrooms were renovated & clean. The hosts had a special local bread waiting for us, what a nice touch!!!

Little 500

Our stay was the perfect place to be for Little 5! We never moved the car once we arrived and were able to walk to meals and even to the race (though it was a long walk!) the house was perfect! Clean, comfortable, and the hosts left so many thoughtful touches like snacks, delicious bread, tea, and cocoa. We were able to walk to many of the sites in the movie “Breaking Away” and there were items in the house to enjoy like a coffee table book, poster etc. It really added to the Little 5 Weekend. Thanks for a wonderful weekend we will remember forever❤️🚴

Big Storm

My friend and I accompanied a granddaughter to a week long event at IU campus. Base camp was the perfect location for our frequent trips to IU campus! The house is well appointed. The neighborhood is quiet. The AC chilled us to our bones! We had the added adventure of a big storm that knocked out power for 2 1/2 days! Jane and Tony were SO helpful with issues related to that. It was a 5 star stay! Thank you!

WOW. They meant it when they said the location is great! The home was spotlessly clean, and there were a ton of nice conveniences such as hot cocoa, fuzzy blankets, and just like everything you need for a Bloomington foray. The hosts did a superior job of striking a balance between the craftsman charm of original features with modern amenities.
