Base Camp-6.5 blocks to IU Campus & downtown, 3 Kings, Bicycles, Fence

We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary last year, and we have raised four wonderful children, including identical twins, 3 sons and a daughter. We also have two grandchildren. Indiana University brought us to Bloomington in 1980 and we fell in love with the town, and surrounding wilderness and couldn't leave. We love hiking, camping boating, and spending time outdoors. Our Airbnb is a reflection of our interests, our National Park adventures, the IU Campus and the Bloomington community. We are both teachers; I teach at Bloomington South High School and Tony teaches at the Hoosier Hills Career Center. We consider every stay at our VRBO property an adventure, and we do our best to create a great experience.

The location for your adventure is nestled in a quiet residential neighborhood. There are a few scattered rental properties in the area. There's lots of dog walking, neighbors are friendly, urban deer wander around in the early morning and evenings. Bryan Park is just two-blocks away and there's a one-mile walking/running/cycling trail around the circumference of the park. Bryan Park also has a public swimming pool, basketball courts and a spectacular playground for the kids. It's six blocks to campus, seven blocks to the Sample Gates on Kirkwood and a few short blocks to Two Sticks Bakery and the Elm. We provide bikes, as an alternative mode of transportation to ride on the community biking trails and a cruise through campus or downtown.

Enjoy your adventure at Base Camp, 6.5 blocks from campus and downtown, two blocks from Bryan Park, bicycles, fireplace, desk, patio, fenced backyard and fully equipped kitchen. Hosted by teachers who share their love of nature and hiking through a mid-century, National Park themed house, and hope to inspire their guests to learn about, and visit National Parks & enjoy the outdoors. There are 3 king beds with high end mattresses & quality bedding. We thrive on making your stay a great experience!
