We had just sold our house, were in between homes, and needed something in the city. The house is 200 feet from Bryan park which was perfect for our toddler, and walkable to several shops/cafes. The kitchenware was fully stocked, and there were plenty of towels. We loved having laundry onsite and the range in the kitchen."* *"This house was wonderful for our family stay in Bloomington. It had all we needed to feel right at home and we loved watching the rabbits and deer that visited the backyard daily. We would definitely stay here again."* Bedroom & Bathrooms ⭐️ Primary Bedroom – King-size bed, bedside charging ports, relaxing ambiance ⭐️ Bedroom 2 – Queen-size bed, cozy linens, ample storage ⭐️ Bedroom 3 – Two twin beds, perfect for kids or additional guests 🚿 Bathroom 1 – Walk-in shower, grab bars for accessibility 🚿 Bathroom 2 – Shower/tub combo, fresh towels, and toiletries Guests will have access to all parts of the property barring two storage closets and the shed.

The lay out worked for our group, but too many details were missed. Before check-in, I asked about using the gas grill that was pictured. We started grilling, and the tank ran out half way through The tank should have been checked before our arrival. We had a group of 7, which I included in the app. We found six sets of towels. I messaged about more towels after my husband and I shared one, and was told new towels could be delivered at midnight, or 7-10 AM. I chose 7-10. The towels arrived at 9:54 AM as we were departing. Kitchen pictures show a drip coffee maker. I bought a bag of coffee and found a Keurig. The host offered to deliver a drip coffee maker, but we used the Keurig. I asked if the freezer had an ice maker. I was told it did not. We bought a 20 pound bag of ice for the weekend. When we arrived, we found the fridge/freezer had an ice maker. Does the host not know what is at the property? There were crumbs in ‘clean’ pans and cobwebs on the beams.
