Our invited guest family found the home so welcoming. The check-in/out was smooth and accommodating and the time spent at the location was 'like being at home' per the guest family. Our department found the booking and associated communication to be convenient and thorough. We will definitely book this home again.
I stayed here with my husband, daughter & dog while my son attended the IU Soccer Camp. The house is very cute & comfortable. Easy to get in & out, easy to adjust the thermostat to our liking, & easy to reach the host. The location is just on the edge of the not so nice side of town, but the house is well lit outside & we never felt unsafe. I recommend this house to those looking for a fun week or weekend in Bloomington!
We had a great weekend at the blue door bungalow! Great location and house was comfortable for our group of 5. Would definitely recommend this property to friends and family!
The most welcoming place I’ve ever rented. Incredibly well organized and stocked. The host even left a very kind, personal welcome note that made me feel right at home. Lovely place to stay while visiting someone at IU. Would definitely go back.
We stayed at the Blue Door Bungalow for a football weekend and it was perfect. Good location, easily walkable to restaurants. House was clean and cozy. Renae was great as our host. We’ll definitely look to stay here on our next visit to IU.
