Quaint Cottage

We booked this for the 4/8/24 eclipse. It was the perfect spot for viewing. The owner left snacks & drinks that were all themed for the eclipse. They even left two pairs of eclipse glasses. Very thoughtful touch! The street has traffic but isn't terribly busy. The neighborhood made it feel quite separate from the busy college city while still being just a few minutes away from stores/restaurants. We even saw some wild turkeys and foxes. I would absolutely book this cottage again if I ended up back in Bloomington for any reason.

Like Stepping Back in Time With a Modern Twist

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was so cool to know we were staying in an old schoolhouse. This is my 25th year of teaching so that added to the experience. I would highly recommend this place!

Cute & Cozy

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the School House Cottage! The old schoolhouse-turned-home is simple, yet has everything you need. It's situated perfectly between IU and Brown State Park, making our visits to both, seamless. We were also there at a great time, when the home was surrounded by all the beautiful fall foliage. The fire pit out on the deck makes for perfect evenings winding down, as well as the included refreshments we were surprised with. I prefer stays with character, and this cozy cottage came with plenty, which you can even read about in the historical text in the home. I would love to stay here again!

Just What I Needed

After a long week at a business conference in Memphis, I needed a place to go and unwind. This was the ticket. Quiet and restful, it was the perfect place to unwind. About 10-15 minutes from some great dining establishments in Bloomington. Highly recommend if you want a quick weekend getaway.
