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."* Bedroom & Bathrooms ⭐️ Primary Bedroom – King-size bed, bedside charging ports, relaxing ambiance ⭐️ Bedroom 2 – Queen-size bed, cozy linens, ample storage ⭐️ Bedroom 3 – Two twin beds, perfect for kids or additional guests 🚿 Bathroom 1 – Walk-in shower, grab bars for accessibility 🚿 Bathroom 2 – Shower/tub combo, fresh towels, and toiletries There are walking trails only steps away.
