Beautiful house!
We stayed at this property for a football weekend and it was perfect. Easy walk to the stadium and a wonderful setup for our family to visit with our son who is an IU student. The house is exactly as pictured and very comfortable. We enjoyed all of the amenities provided by the hosts. We'll be back!

The property is extraordinary. This home is beautifully furnished with comfortable sleeping and the towels are so soft. All the amenities were top notch and the porch and backyard are very enjoyable. The host was very responsive and answered all my questions very quickly. This was my finest VRBO experience. Anne Mcclamroch

Exceeded expectations of IU grads
My husband & I attended IU for both undergrad & grad school, totaling 12 years on campus for various reasons, but had not been back to Bloomington since 2005. The house was so ideal that the adults and the teens wish we had booked it for a longer period. Amazing location for campus life but amenities and style for 20+ year alumni.

Short stay for IU Basketball Camp
We were in town for the two day IU basketball camp, this house was in a great location and the accommodations were great. The host was responsive organized. We have stayed in many VRBO's and this one was one of our best experiences.

Great bungalow in Bloomington!
Devin's house is perfect for visiting your child at IU. We came down for the weekend to celebrate our son's birthday. The space is lovely and clean and Devin was very good at communication. The record player and albums was a fun addition. Thanks for letting us enjoy this home.

Nice older home with lots of amenities! Very close to everything! The owners were very attentive to all our needs and even went way above to make it a special stay by having a hot cocoa station and chocolates out for a special treat. The home was extra clean and had nice linens.

Weekend Lake Getaway
Our group of friends needed to get away for a weekend of fun and relaxation after an exhausting July due to personal reasons. We found the perfect place to retreat to in this home ❤️ The hosts were fantastic in every way! They were helpful and made sure we were taken care of. The home is beautiful from top to bottom! The perfect mix of old and new! Old being the gorgeous original hardwoods floors 😍 My favorite spot is the enclosed back patio with the BEST hot tub! I can’t say enough good things. Location is perfect for any dining and entertainment downtown and we were only 7 miles from our spot on the lake. 10/10 would recommend you choose this home for your next stay!

About the host

Hosted by Devin Thomas

Host profile image
Hi I'm Devin, along with my husband Andrew, we've been navigating life's twists and turns for over a decade, raising two lively boys aged 8 and 9. Family comes first for us, and we love nothing more than exploring new places together, often with our parents or best friends in tow.

As graduates of Indiana University, Bloomington holds a special place in our hearts. Its bustling atmosphere and array of activities and dining spots make it the perfect place to call home. That's why we've invested in properties here, aiming to offer guests the same comfort and convenience we enjoy.

Our journey into short-term rentals began unexpectedly when we acquired Bear's Place, a local college bar, in 2014. This prompted our venture into hospitality, and we now own & manage six properties, ranging from cozy spots in Bloomington to beachfront condos in Palm Beach, Florida, and a sprawling family estate in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's a diverse mix that keeps things interesting.

With a keen eye for cleanliness, hospitality, communication, and design, I strive to ensure our guests have a memorable experience. Our goal is simple: exceed expectations and create a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

When I'm not busy with our rental business, you'll find me volunteering at my sons' school or breaking a sweat at Orange Theory. And when it's time to unwind, there's nothing better than enjoying a cold IPA with my husband, Andrew, or working on a new DIY project with my father.

Join us on our journey, where hospitality meets heart, and every stay feels like coming home.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood primarily for its close proximity to Indiana University's sports complexes, such as Memorial Stadium and Assembly Hall. Being avid sports enthusiasts, we wanted to be right in the heart of the action, making it perfect for tailgating and immersing ourselves in the vibrant IU student culture. This area is predominantly populated by undergrad students, which adds to the lively atmosphere we enjoy.

What makes this property unique

Campus Cottage stands out for several reasons, starting with its unbeatable location, ideal for anyone attending Indiana University sporting events. Beyond its prime location, our property offers a unique blend of amenities that elevate the guest experience.

Step into our expansive backyard, and you'll find yourself in a private oasis. Here, a professionally maintained hot tub awaits, providing the perfect spot to unwind after a day of activities. As evening falls, the ambiance shifts with the soft glow of twinkle lights enveloping a Solo Stove fire pit, creating a cozy atmosphere for memorable gatherings under the stars.

It's these thoughtful touches—the combination of a spacious outdoor area, a professionally maintained hot tub, and the inviting glow of a fire pit—that truly set Campus Cottage apart. Whether you're here for the big game or simply seeking a retreat from the everyday, our property offers a unique experience you won't find elsewhere in Bloomington.
