Enjoy a peaceful, totally private, newly renovated ground level home featuring hardwood floors, quartz countertops, and top of the line appliances. Set on 2 quiet, wooded acres, this space offers a calm, restorative environment just steps from the IU football stadium, other sports arenas, Assembly Hall, Griffy Lake, and the IU golf course.

This is an ideal retreat for guests seeking comfort, nature, and convenience — not a suitable space for parties, loud gatherings, or high traffic stays.

THE SPACE
A spacious and thoughtfully furnished 1200 sq ft home designed for relaxation and quiet enjoyment, and with everything you need for comfortable home living.

- Large living room with twin sofa bed
- Dining area
- Two bedrooms (each with a queen bed)
- Study with queen sofa bed
- Huge, fully equipped kitchen
- Full bath
- Top-of-the-line laundry machines

The home is bright, airy, and surrounded by forest views — perfect for guests who value peace and comfort.

GUEST ACCESS
Guests have full access to the entire private, self-contained ground-level unit with its own entrance, no stairs, plenty of natural light, and beautiful views of the woods. The utility/furnace room and garage remain locked. Guests can easily park at least three cars on the driveway.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Your unit is directly below the homeowner (an IU professor) who lives upstairs, and this is a quiet household. We maintain a peaceful environment and will be respectful of your stay — we kindly ask that guests do the same.

- This listing is best suited for quiet, considerate travelers.
- No parties, gatherings, or loud group activities of any kind are permitted.
- Quiet hours are strictly 10pm–7am.
- Please review all House Rules before booking to ensure this is the right fit for your stay.

If you’re looking for a calm, comfortable home base close to IU and nature, I'd be delighted to host you.

REGISTERED GUESTS ONLY
The primary guest/renter must be at least 25 years old. The maximum number of guests is six. I can use the exterior Ring security camera to check that the number of guests entering the premises matches the number you indicated when you made the booking. (There are no interior cameras anywhere.)

    This location is pefect for a short stay, or a longer visit. Walking distance to IU golf course, stadium, courts, etc. Close to walking trails and kayaking locations. Relax and watch the fireflies in the evening. Great place, great amenities. Really enjoyed our stay!

    This was a return visit for us, after having a positive experience last year. We were in town for the Little 500 bike race, so the convenience to the stadiums was perfect. It is also a great landing spot for visiting family in Bloomington. The beds are comfortable, and everyone commented about how well they slept. The unit had everything we needed, and communications with Ethan were great. We will likely be back again!

    We chose this spot because it was close to our kids’ apartment and also close to the basketball game we were going to. It is a great location and an impeccably clean house. Our host was friendly and very helpful. I would happily stay again!

    My family and I came down for family weekend. My oldest daughter is a freshman at IU. I was late to the party when it came to booking lodging. I found this listing. I originally booked it for me and my 2 daughters. With the date approaching, we had some change in plans and I had to add some family members. The owner, Ethan, was amazing and so easy to work with. Every time I had to apologetically change plans to add more family members, he always responded immediately with no problem, I'll take care that for you 100% would stay here again and recommend it to anyone needing a place to.stay in Bloomington.

    Just like the title says… quiet, comfortable and clean. Check in was easy and the house was as advertised. Ethan, the host was a text away if there were any issues which there weren’t. I was in town for work and actually booked a second week while staying there. 10/10 will book again if available when I come back.
