Cozy Bloomington IU Campus Getaway for 2!

Bloomington, Indiana, United States

2023-04. New listing! Converted an apartment to a short term rental for folks who need the perfect place to stay for IU events and anything throughout Bloomington! Oh so convenient, clean, cozy, and ready for you! Will you be first We don't expect event weekends to last long! Reach out with any questions. Happy to help! brbrGreat place to stay in Bloomington, in the heart of Indiana University's athletics area! We have just the spot for you. Located 2 blocks west of IU Memorial Stadium on East 17th, our place is an easy walk to all the athletics and graduation events, and very convenient for any other trip to IU and the Bloomington area! You can see the stadium area from the bedroom window, roughly, well, 3 football field lengths away!brbrParking You bet. Despite being right by all the action, you have parking for at least 1 car right behind the unit, not blocks away.. right there! brbrThis 1 bedroom has a queen bed, but what's more Its not just a one bedroom. Its a 1 bedroom apartment with its own separate living room area, and a separate kitchenette area with a full set of cabinets, a FULL refrigerator, and a convection microwave. Oh, and coffee Of course... both a Kuerig and a drip coffee maker for whatever your high octane (or decaf) desires may be! Kitchen table with 4 chairs if you invite a few friends. brbrThis apartment is on two levels, with the full bath and the living room on the ground floor. The living room has a couch, some bonus chairs and a small table and additional chairs. Up the stairs... and the kitchen, bedroom, and a half bath are on the top floor. brbrOutside the front door is a small concrete patio area at the entry. We do not provide furniture outside since it is off 17th street--lots of foot traffic--however, we provide a nice small table and 2 chairs in the living room that you can migrate outside for chilling (and people watching). Just bring them back inside please so they don't wander off! :-)brbrInternet & Wifi You bet. High speed internet from T-Mobile delivered on a nice Eero-based Mesh network to ensure coverage throughout. Smart TV in living room to login to your own services. Please note we do NOT provide cable or other television services at this time but you are welcome to use the smart tv to login to your own, or BYO device to have whatever your usual services are. brbrShare anything No. Nothing inside, and not the entrance either! You have a private entrance to this apartment. The kitchen, living room, baths, and bedroom are for your exclusive use. Please note that this apartment is an apartment among other apartments and townhomes which means (although this almost goes without saying...) that it shares walls with other townhomes, as well as the parking areas and outside common areas. Because this is in the heart of the athletics area, you can expect to be in the middle of all the football, graduation, basketball, soccer, and other action along 17th street. Want to be in the middle of it all, with easy, nearly unparalleled access, this is the one! Want to be isolated, off the beaten path, no one around (and a drive to the action) Perhaps look elsewhere. :-)brbrBe ready for, and a short walk from, all the IU action next time you stay in Bloomington! Car Definitely won't need that to get to the games, homecoming, graduation, whatever you need if its in the IU athletics area! Nice to have a place off street to park it, of course, but oh so nice to not really need it too! Thanks so much! We look forward to hosting you!

Private King Suite on 25 Forested Acres with Pool, Hot Tub and Fire Pit near Bloomington

Bloomington, Indiana, United States

Sleeps 2. Less than 10 minutes from Indiana University, this is the rental of a private room in a house. You have your own private room and bathroom suite, with shared access to the common spaces, grounds, hot tub and pool. If you are looking for additional rooms, contact me and I may be able to rent other bedrooms in the house. There are also 2 other listings for cabins on the property. The hot tub is open year-round and the pool is open April through September.brbrThere is a keyless lock to get into the house and your privacy will be respected. I am always available to answer questions or help in any way. Parties are not allowed. There are exterior cameras around the property to monitor against this.brbrThe property is surrounded by forested hills and valleys, between two branches of the Muddy Fork river. It's a beautiful hideaway with neighbors only visible during the winter and yet only a 10 minute drive to Campus.brbrYou have access to one bedroom and bath, and the surrounding 25 acres of forested hills, valleys and hiking trails.brbrThe hiking trails which lead into our private forest have shaded benches and picnic areas, sure to please nature enthusiasts and casual hikers alike and the large fire ring makes a great place for everyone to gather in the evening for s'mores and campfire.brbrThe property is located a couple hundred yards from an old fashioned railroad, which kids tend to love, but for safety sake we fenced in a half acre with the swimming pool, hot tub and a few other features. As a parent I love this because I can keep track of the little ones, knowing they can't go running off into the woods.brbrWe're a 10 minute drive to IU campus and College Mall, 15 minutes from the stadium and downtown. With Nashville 30 minutes to the east, and Lake Monroe 30 minutes south, you really couldn't ask for a sweeter location.brbrNo day guests are allowed beyond those who have booked. If you want to have additional people over, please contact me. I may allow it for an additional fee.brbrIf you book Sunday through Friday, I will offer a 10% weekly discount. This discount does not apply to 5-day bookings that include a Friday or Saturday night.
