Wonderful stay in quiet neighborhood near campus.

Jane thought of everything and responded almost instantly to any questions we had. We only had one car but there was tons of off-street parking which isn't always the case. Could easily walk to campus and very central for everything else. Would certainly stay here again.

Perfect for Mom's Weekend!

Bread and Butter was just perfect for Mom's Weekend at IU and also to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Being away from kiddos is hard enough, but this home was perfect for making our visit feel like home. The hosts were great, leaving us special treats, and the home had everything we needed. The location was perfect, the backyard was spacious, beds comfy, and had all the amenities. Can't wait to visit again!

House is cute, clean, coffee and beverages provided in the fridge (nice touch) close to campus (about .75 miles), and in a nice neighborhood. The hosts are wonderful and left us home made bread and butter that was delicious! I'd highly recommend this property.

We have never experienced such great accommodations from a host before. They communicated so well, provided us with lovely welcome gifts, didn’t require much for check-out, and even gifted us with birthday celebrations for my mom, who’s birthday we were there to celebrate. Lovely home, great location and clearly thoughtful and kind hosts!

Cute, comfortable with everything provided.

Super easy communication with Jane and Tony. They have every detail covered from comfy beds, a fenced in back yard, all the dishes and cookware you could need, propane grill, towels, cleaning supplies, etc. They are welcoming and give tons of information about the area if you are looking for activities or restaurants. We will definitely stay here every time it’s available when we visit our son at IU. Thank you!

Nice stay at the Bread and Butter

Had a lovely 3 night stay at the Bread and Butter home. It was very clean and full of thoughtful amenities. Very nicely decorated and comfortable home. Use of the bikes was great for us to ride through campus. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking to stay close to campus and Bloomington downtown area. Jane was very responsive and helpful with all our communications.

Everything about this cute little house is wonderful! But it starts with the owners who’s communication and attention to details were impeccable. The beds and furniture are comfy. The location and fenced in yard are a plus. So nice to have lots of parking too! We loved the bread and butter house! Just what we needed for a busy wedding weekend. Thank you!!!

What a beautiful home with so much attention to detail. The decor centered around travel was extra special as we have had opportunities to visit many of locations. We also loved the cinnamon bread/butter we received upon arriving. This home was honestly the cleanest place we stayed over the last three years visiting our daughter at IU. What a pleasure it was and we will return. Thank You!

Bread and Butter Eclipsed all other VRBO experiences!

Our family group of 7 booked Bread and Butter for its perfect location for the recent solar eclipse. The eclipse was spectacular, of course, but this rental added tremendously to our trip. It is spotless, stylishly and comfortably outfitted, and our hosts made us feel so perfectly welcomed. Local coffee, snacks, fresh cinnamon bread — they even provided a kiddie table and chairs and an assortment of children’s nature books, in line with their National Parks decor. We even enjoyed a lively game of National Parks Trivia, just one of many entertainments provided by our hosts. You shouldn’t miss staying here when you visit in Bloomington!

Very Nice Home

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bread and Butter. The home was very clean and well-appointed. We love the style of the home and the furnishings. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals. We also appreciated that the owners provided foil and zip lock bags. Many homes do not have these. The washer and dryer came in handy. Communication with the owner was excellent. We had an unexpected change to our plans and she was able to extend our stay by another night. Her response was very prompt. I highly recommend this home and will stay here again if our future travels take us to Bloomington.

Cozy and comfortable home -- great location

Our family of four (two adults, two teenagers) stayed at the Bread and Butter during a short spring break getaway to Bloomington. The house was cozy, clean and comfortable, and we had everything we needed for our stay. Jane and Tony were great hosts -- responsive and communicative, providing a guidebook with suggestions for places to visit and also getting in touch when a storm approached to make sure we knew where emergency supplies were located in case of a power outage. We appreciated all of the details and special touches that made the place feel welcoming, such as fresh bread and butter, water bottles, breakfast items and snacks, etc. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking and baking. We also loved the location – it is a cute neighborhood just minutes away from all the things we wanted to do. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality!

A perfect house

This was a perfect house for our group of three couples. It was under a 15 minute level walk to downtown and not much more to the IU campus. Halfway is a fabulous breakfast pastry bakery. The house itself was terrific. Comfortable beds, a completely equipped kitchen, a living room large enough for the group, and both bathrooms available to all of us (not en suite). Only a couple of steps up to the front door so easy access. The owners were so thoughtful, even providing a large amount of Keurig capsules for their machine. Lots of pillows and blankets provided. It felt like you were staying at a best friend's house.
