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.

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!

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!

We enjoyed our stay at the Bread and Butter. The owners made it a priority for us to feel at home and their communication was fantastic. Conveniently located close to downtown and IU’s campus and allowing dogs was a huge plus! Our dog Oliver enjoyed the yard and taking walks in the neighborhood. Would definitely recommend this property.

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!!!

Highly recommend!
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!

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.

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 is the BEST!!
Our experience couldn't have gone any better. The house location was perfect, plenty of room for our IU moms group. One of the best part of renting this house is the more than ample parking. Also, we lost power while there and Jane and Tony could not have been more available and helpful, checking to make sure we were all OK. Rent this house, you won't be disappointed!!

Best host I’ve experienced in years
We rented this cute house very last minute. The host Jane made it seamless. She even allowed our daughter’s two dogs to stay. The house was extremely well stocked and she left water and soda in the fridge, dog treats and dog food and a large platter filled with different snacks and coffee packets. We haven’t felt this spoiled in years! We will definitely rent this great house again.
