Nice stay in Bloomington
Very clean, cozy beds, essentials were provided. Owners were attentive and checked on our stay. Only drawbacks were the 2nd bathroom (the 1/2 bath was VERY small) and the yard could use some attention.

Excellent & Very Close to Football/Basketball
Beautiful and quiet location. Very clean and as pictured. Nice deck, big yard and fire pit…just couldn’t take advantage due to wet weather. Neat game room downstairs. Would definitely stay again.

Great Location & Amenities
We enjoyed this property. Comfortable beds and a nice fenced backyard area for our dog. The location for quickly reaching stadium games and the Greek extension houses was perfect. Communication was spot on and we appreciated the extras, like the pet feeding area, smores supplies, and plenty of kitchen supplies.

The house was perfectly located by Griffy and a quick drive to downtown. It has a fenced backyard which was perfect to have our two dogs. The beds are so comfortable! The hosts were very responsive to every need. Would definitely recommend and return!

This property was close to many things near IU and Lake Monroe! Plenty of space and we were able to bring our dog with us. Sam was great with checking in on us to ensure our stay was going well!

Overnight stay with dogs
We enjoyed the fenced in yard for the dogs, and enjoyed the ride we took around the lake and other neighborhoods. I would have preferred a place a little more rural (without houses around), but it was good for what we needed and we needed a place we could take our dogs. It was very clean and accomodating though & very close to restaurants etc.

Great Location
We were so lucky to have found Sojourner’s Roost last minute for Graduation weekend. Not only was it close to the stadium, but to everything. The house was clean with a large fenced yard. Perfect for our pups. Love the amenities in the basement and board games. Wasn’t able to do a s’mores night, but such a great touch to have all the ingredients. Place was clean, with lots of new supplies. Thanks, Samantha!
