Cottage on Kirkwood Walkable

Charming cottage built in 1900 on iconic Kirkwood Ave just blocks to the Square and the best of everything Bloomington has to offer. IU, restaurants, bars, shops, breweries, B-Line mere minutes away. The home has a town-and-country vibe with ample natural light and farmhouse style, large backyard, patio and grill, off-street parking in driveway for 2 cars, and bus stop next door. Well-behaved dogs considered.

Additional details:
Note that Kirkwood is a lively, bustling street in the tightly gridded historic Prospect Hill neighborhood. In recent years, Bloomington has leaned in to its urban side near downtown but remains overall a safe and civil city with a small town feel. That being said, guests should expect to encounter a wide variety of nearby street, human, and (yes!) even pet noise. Ear plugs and white noise machines are provided for your comfort and convenience.

The home was built in 1900, is bigger than it looks (1132 sq ft), and definitely has a "this old house" personality. Inspired by the vintage farmhouse ceramic sink in the kitchen, the decor has a shabby chic rustic vibe. But to make your stay as comfortable as possible, modern amenities and updates abound: keyless entry, 43" Roku TV, high speed Wifi, top-of-the-line mattresses and soft bed linens, light-filtering curtains in king bedroom and room-darkening in queen bedroom, a well appointed kitchen with stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, microwave, and stove), a darling outdoor patio with plenty of seating and a gas grill, Keurig-style and regular coffeemaker, multi-device charging stations, and more. There is also a well-lit, quiet, cozy working office alcove in the very back of the house.

Bedroom 1 has a queen bed with a high quality mattress, plush pillows, and soft sheets.

Bedroom 2 has a king bed with a high quality mattress, plush pillows, and soft sheets.

The living room has seating for five. 43" Roku TV provided with some free programming, or you can stream your favorite premium channels on your own subscription accounts. The sofa is also a sofa bed that sleeps up to 2 people.

We had a wonderful stay in the fall of 2025. The place is so cute and perfectly advertised. It’s cozy and also within walking distance of campus. The street is noisy, but the host white noise helped. The home is perfectly stocked with linens, towels, coffee and filtered water. We did not need to bring anything. Highly recommend and I know we will be back.

Perfect girls’ weekend property

We stayed for a weekend of Bloomington shopping and a visit to Oliver Winery. This location, while in less up-to-date neighborhood, was close enough to walk to downtown and drive to Oliver. This property was scrupulously clean with a private, lovely backyard. The kitchen was well stocked. We loved it and would definitely stay again.

Perfect for College Visit!

My son and I stayed in the Cottage on Kirkwood for a few nights while attending his "Red Carpet Day" at IU. It was the perfect cottage, very cozy with all amenities available, and close to campus. Communication with the host was excellent. We felt very at home, would definitely book again!

A night off campus

This gave us all we needed. I picked up my daughter from campus and we enjoyed an fall evening carving pumpkins, watching movies and eating too much. The house is clean and cozy. Communication was great. Will be staying again.
