Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Monroe County

We came for my son’s IU graduation and we had a great time. This is the BUSIEST weekend in Bloomington so all reservations are done at least 12 months in advance and every place is overpriced including rentals, hotels, restaurants, etc and you are happy if you can get a vacancy. We booked several months in advance. It was very easy to communicate with Joseph, he is very friendly and responsive. My daughter arrived a bit earlier and checked in the house. She texted me that there was dog hair on the floor and furniture. Since the place is pet friendly, i expected that this might be an issue. Joseph was very resourceful and responsive, he asked someone to come by and clean the floors the same evening. While it was not perfect, I appreciated Joseph’s willingness to fix the issue and resolve it right away.

Chad was very proactive and responsive to any questions we had. Great home, great amenities, would stay here again!

Great stay! Very comfortable and convenient. Easy communication.

had a pleasant stay at Nicolas’s basement studio. The space was impressively clean and well-maintained, which immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. Nicolas clearly takes pride in keeping the studio in great condition—everything from the floors to the bathroom felt freshly cleaned and tidy. The studio itself is well-organized and has all the basics you need for a short stay. The furniture was comfortable, and the bed provided a good night’s rest. I also appreciated the quiet and privacy that came with being in a basement space—it felt like a peaceful retreat. That said, one thing to be aware of is that the studio is a bit dim. As it’s located in a basement, there’s limited natural light, which made it feel a little enclosed during the day. Adding more lighting or finding a way to increase natural light would definitely improve the overall atmosphere. Still, if you’re looking for a clean, cozy, and quiet place to stay, this studio is a solid option.

The place was fantastic! It was nice, clean, and comfortable. Everything was new and updated with a lot of space for gathering. Highly recommend!

I left this place absolutely gobsmacked. It really should be listed in a special category within Airbnb because it is a time capsule so exquisitely captured. I personally have always loved farmhouse-modern style houses and appreciated midcentury, but now, having stayed at David's place, I have ABSOLUTE REVERE for the genius and excellence of mid-century design. This house has been so perfectly preserved. Because the wood slats on ceiling are structural, the sound when it rains is like being cocooned in a canvas tent with padding on top. It was so incredibly good for sleeping (in conjunction with the black-out blinds). It rained every night—what a treat! The cove lighting, the fixtures, the furniture...all perfect mid-century iterations. And the sheets and pillows were ridiculously soft. I can't speak highly enough of this place. It really is a gem and a masterpiece. AND!, David was a super attentive and friendly host. I highly recommend.

A cute cozy home! Nice size rooms and very clean! Loved the Bible verses throughout the house!

Great location. A few blocks from the Square. We were able to walk down to all of the restaurants and to the Sample Gates with ease. Nice grassy area in the backyard for the doggies to run around in. 3 bedrooms, 1 large full bath with plenty of hot water, cozy living with big screen TV that was already logged into Netflix and Hulu. Snacks, coffee, and bottled water were also provided. Plenty of towels available. Fully stocked kitchen with plates, cups, silverware, cooking essentials, spices, etc. Dishwasher, microwave, and full size refrigerator were also convenient. We really enjoyed staying here and would stay here again. Tip for future renters: there is parking available in the back of the house, but it has to be accessed through the alley. Not a big deal, but helpful to know. There is a drawing included in the listing that shows how to access the backyard. Was more convenient for us than parking on the street while carrying in luggage and unloading our pups. 5 Stars!

Great stay overall! We had 16-18 people and the property slept us all comfortably with plenty of space to eat and relax. Much cleaner than other places we have stayed as a group. Quiet neighborhood and great hot tub! We would love to come back.

Property was accurate to description and photos online. Couch should not be considered as sleeping option for adults.

10 out of 10 would recommend!!! this was the perfect end to what was a long day of moving and packing. Out in what seemed like a woodland oasis in a hot tub with the amazing real sounds of nature from the frogs to the birds, just melted way the hard work of the day. Our adult kids thought it was a nice end to their time living in India. so we thank you, Rob, and Tom from the bottom of our hearts for letting us at the last minute crash your pad. the Maenhout Family

A really cozy cabin! My mom and I loved the space and felt very comfortable during our stay. I must mention that there are no anti slip grips on the tub, so be careful in the shower! I also wish there was a little less grit in the bottom of the hot tub, but I understand that can’t always be helped and all other aspects were clean. Overall: wow. We got to spend time in the hot tub, listened for birds on the porch, and enjoyed our short drive to Nashville for shopping and good eats! (Hard Truth Distilling and Ferguson House were faves.) The place was clean and well organized.

Absolutely wonderful for families - lots of room for everyone! My kids loved the pool! Lots of thoughtful extras - the snacks in the kitchen were so nice after a long travel day. You can tell they want you to feel at home.

I absolutely loved Denise’s place. She was very responsive and so thoughtful with the extra touches. The area was very peaceful and her place was clean and exactly as pictured. I would definitely stay again and recommend her place to others.

Shannon did a great job communicating, seamless arrival and very clear departure instructions. Everything was as pictured, very clean, organized, would definitely stay here again. Great host!

We loved our stay here. The house has so many rooms, we could have fit more. The different locations of the rooms was great for multiple families. The backyard was the biggest hit (the second was the hot tub) - with multiple playgrounds and lots of room, our kids spent most of the time out there. The dining area had plenty of room and chairs. The host was so friendly whenever we saw him. We would definitely have a reunion here again!

Great location and close to IU. Lucas was very helpful and friendly

5 stars!! We had an amazing weekend at The Nancy. The house was perfectly curated to fit its mid-century modern design and had so many fun and personal touches. We were impressed with how much Brooke had available in this home: comfortable beds, extra blankets and towels, basic toiletries (LOVED that these were themed specific to “The Nancy”), a fully stocked coffee/tea station, logs for the fireplaces, s‘mores fixings, cornhole boards, games, the ping pong table, and more. Not to mention the newly added hot tub, which was a fantastic place to hang out at the end of the day. Brooke was the best host! Brooke was proactive and clear in her communication and continued to check in during our stay. She was always quick to respond and eager to help make our stay as comfortable as possible. I would absolutely recommend this property and host to anyone staying in Bloomington.

Spent a IU football weekend here while visiting our daughter on campus. Quaint cabin in the woods that met all our needs. Chris’s instructions were very thorough. Only about 14 minutes from campus too. Great hiking in Hoosier national forest that was minutes away. Would be a wonderful place to stay also if you were doing a lake weekend over the summer.

The Monroe Bloom was a small apartment but perfect for what we needed… being close to IU! Very clean and comfortable. Only issue was the WiFi being spotty, but that’s to be expected out in the woods. I would definitely recommend!!

This place is just as described. Right on campus of IU. Has everything you would need. I would def stay there again.

As a school team of 7 we really enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the size of the house with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and it was very comfortable and peaceful. The outlook from the porch was beautiful and we spotted deer! We were able to make two great dinners in the excellent kitchen. Would definitely recommend Whitney's place for a group to stay!

our stay was phenomenal from booking to getting there to the extra special touches in the house. in communication with the owners. we chose this property specifically because geodes were on it and we were not disappointed. If you follow the path down the hill to the stream you'll find so many it's unbelievable. thank you for the excellent stay and house, my family loved it. would go again!

Nick's house was perfect for our family of 6 celebrating my daughter's graduation from IU. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. The yard and front porch and back patio were so peaceful and relaxing for family time. Nick was a responsive host and very flexible with checkout. I would definitely recommend his beautiful home to friends and family.
