Fun sports weekend catching up with old friends
The Bloomington Bliss property is aptly named, as my friends and I had a blast exploring this wonderful college town this past weekend. We've known each other for 30+ years, so on the rare occasions we can get together, we have a lot to catching up to do. This house provided the perfect venue. Communication with our host leading up to check-in and through our stay was very straightforward and always responsive. Though we mostly took ridesharing to campus, it would absolutely have been walkable. While it would have been a bit more of a hike to the stadium, it's definitely doable. And despite the proximity to campus, we were treated to a family of deer peacefully enjoying their breakfast and dinner each day. Even with 6 grown men, we felt we had plenty of room both for socializing as well as for sleeping. We utilized each room at one time or another during our stay, as well as trying our hand at ping pong out on the screened in patio. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were laid out in such a way that folks that were early-to-bed were not disrupted by the night owls. The kitchen offered us everything needed to cook daily breakfasts and even a few dinners during our stay. Whether you are in town to attend an IU Football game or any other event on campus, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if the opportunity arose.
