  • Hills O’ Brown Vacation Rentals

My husband, Andrew, and I are both IU grads and Bloomington holds a special place in our hearts but currently reside in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We've been married for 5 years and love traveling with each other as well as as a family. We have two little boys that we love bringing to Bloomington with us so we know what its like traveling and packing for little ones so we've shared all those important baby items and toys with our guests.We also rent out our 2 bedroom beachfront condo in West Palm Beach, Florida, and our 5-bedroom vacation home in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Why Devin Thomas chose Bloomington
This property is excellent if you are a parent coming into town visiting your child and student. With campus only blocks away it makes it a convenient location while still having all the luxuries and space as you do at home. We've spent the last several years remodeling the home mainly because, well, we both like nice things and it could have used some love when we first purchased it. We've done a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel full of all the high end finishes you'd expect in a new home, including air conditioning and new furniture.
The two bedrooms are very sizable especially for the era this home was built in. There's ample space for your things since we do not have any of our personal belongings in the home. Our absolute FAVORITE part of the house is the front porch! We love love love sitting out there with a bottle of wine after the kids go to bed. There's just enough activity going on to have some fun people watching but resides in Elm Heights which is about 50% residents and 50% students, so its pretty quiet. The location is the main reason we purchased the house, we knew we wanted to be able to walk to campus and all of our favorite fun spots on Kirkwood , Nicks, Kilroys, Upstairs, Starbucks, the list goes on! Another great this is that we are close to several parks for the kids, Bryan Park is only a few blocks away and in the summer you can take the kids there swimming! We just love our home in Bloomington and we know you will too!.

Perfect for a Friends Reunion


This was the perfect place for a weekend reunion of 3 "mom friends" who met at IU Campus Children's Center when our kids were 2 years old. Our "kids" are now 29 and our friendship remains strong across the miles. The house is beautiful, funky, fun, and comfortable. The owner went above and beyond and her efforts are greatly appreciated. A true gem.
