🛏️ Bedroom Notes:
While most bedrooms are traditional, please note that 3 of the 10 bedrooms are unique:

Basement dorm-style room: Includes 2 twin-over-full bunk beds and 1 full bed — great for kids or groups.

Cozy bonus room: A converted closet with 2 twin floor mattresses — best for flexible or short-term sleeping arrangements.

Multi-use room: Features a pull-out sofa and can serve as a living room or bedroom. This room also provides access to the hot tub and backyard, so foot traffic is likely.

These non-traditional rooms allow flexibility for larger groups, but I always recommend reviewing the layout to make sure it suits your needs.

Two bus lines are just a short walk from the house.

A bike trail just 2 blocks away connects directly to downtown Bloomington and College Mall.

Love it!

We've been renting this place once a week for 3 years now, and my group loves it! Jonah's wonderful to work with (very prompt to queries, attentive to our needs, etc.), and the space offers lots of opportunities for groups to connect. I'd recommend things like more silverware, but that's a quibble. Thanks for hosting us!

Grateful for this Large House

Not many VRBO houses that sleep this many people! It’s not the newest, nicest house on campus but just a few miles off campus and has everything needed for a large group (we had 8 couples). Would definitely stay again.

Great place for larger groups

We had 13 college friends gather here for Homecoming. Although a bit dated, it was clean and a great place for us to hang out as a group. The kitchen was great for prepping tailgate food and there were plenty of beds & baths for all of us. Beds were comfortable, too. It was a quick Uber to Kirkwood and all the fun spots. Owner was responsive and quick to answer questions.

Valeene Crew attendeds a wedding

The house was big enough to accommodate our group of 10 adults and 3 children effortlessly and still had more room! Lots of room with plenty of beds and plenty of parking space was plus. We enjoyed being able to have our group all together playing games, cooking food and getting ready together for the wedding. The house was very clean. My master king suite bed was comfortable! I usually plan trips for our group of 20+ people and wouldn't hesitate to bring them back here again if I need to.
