    LOVED everything about our stay. We were close to a tornado and Kelsey reached out to ensure we were okay. The welcome basket was such a nice touch. The beds were like sleeping on a pillow cloud! Will definitely be booking again!

    We had such a lovely time at Kelsey’s wonderful home for a long weekend with our IU freshman. The home was inviting and immaculately clean upon our arrival. The tasteful decor and attention to detail made this cozy home the perfect place to have as our base for the extended weekend. Every detail was well thought out: a thoughtful welcome basket of goodies, super comfy beds, large cozy towels, quality paper products, a well stocked kitchen and plenty of off street parking in a quiet neighborhood to name a just a few. The location worked out perfectly for us as it was under a 10 minute ride to our son’s dorm and all of what downtown Bloomington has to offer. Unfortunately we were unable to utilize the outdoor space as it was eleven degrees upon our arrival but I’m sure it would be a lovely place to relax after a long day and hope to revisit when the weather is a bit warmer! Thank you for sharing your home with us and we look forward to a visit in the not too distant future!!

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful home while our son was getting married. It truly made the occasion even more special. The house is charming with great decor, clean, and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. The home provided the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience. We recommend this lovely home to anyone visiting the area. I wouldn’t mind coming back to enjoy the outside patio!
