    Jane is a wonderful host. Great communication ahead of visit in addition to the Info Folder for reference. Easy to operate TV, comfy large beds and well equipped with all the amenities you wouldn’t think you might need until you do.

    The Bread and Butter is an inviting National Park themed home that offers great value, very attentive and welcoming hosts, an excellent location, ample parking, and amenities including a fenced yard. This home is family friendly and was able to accommodate rotating family visitors and our small dog. Situated in a quiet and friendly residential neighborhood a short walk to Bryan Park, and close to both IU and downtown Bloomington.

    We were greeted with a basket of snacks, a loaf of bread from a local bakery and a stick of butter! That delicious bread was our breakfast nearly every day! Having coffee provided so I didn’t have to purchase a huge can was awesome too! Highly recommend this place!

    Bread and Butter was just perfect for Mom's Weekend at IU and also to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Being away from kiddos is hard enough, but this home was perfect for making our visit feel like home. The hosts were great, leaving us special treats, and the home had everything we needed. The location was perfect, the backyard was spacious, beds comfy, and had all the amenities. Can't wait to visit again!

    Super easy communication with Jane and Tony. They have every detail covered from comfy beds, a fenced in back yard, all the dishes and cookware you could need, propane grill, towels, cleaning supplies, etc. They are welcoming and give tons of information about the area if you are looking for activities or restaurants. We will definitely stay here every time it’s available when we visit our son at IU. Thank you!

    Jane thought of everything and responded almost instantly to any questions we had. We only had one car but there was tons of off-street parking which isn't always the case. Could easily walk to campus and very central for everything else. Would certainly stay here again.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Bread and Butter. The home was very clean and well-appointed. We love the style of the home and the furnishings. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals. We also appreciated that the owners provided foil and zip lock bags. Many homes do not have these. The washer and dryer came in handy. Communication with the owner was excellent. We had an unexpected change to our plans and she was able to extend our stay by another night. Her response was very prompt. I highly recommend this home and will stay here again if our future travels take us to Bloomington.

    Had a lovely 3 night stay at the Bread and Butter home. It was very clean and full of thoughtful amenities. Very nicely decorated and comfortable home. Use of the bikes was great for us to ride through campus. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay close to campus and Bloomington downtown area. Jane was very responsive and helpful with all our communications.
