The Bread and Butter is an inviting National Park themed home that offers great value, very attentive and welcoming hosts, an excellent location, ample parking, and amenities including a fenced yard. This home is family friendly and was able to accommodate rotating family visitors and our small dog. Situated in a quiet and friendly residential neighborhood a short walk to Bryan Park, and close to both IU and downtown Bloomington.

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.
