IU Football Weekend
Echo Manor was perfect for our football weekend. The family area is very open with lots of seating. Lovely outdoor patio, grills, fire pit. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Bathrooms looked newly redone. Kitchen was well stocked and appliances were new. Our host was available to answer any questions. Great location near IU. Would definitely return to Echo Manor.

Clean and roomy
The spacious living room was perfect for us, as was the well stocked kitchen. The house was spotlessly clean and the neighborhood was very quiet. Hope to be back in the warmer months to enjoy the deck. It is an easy drive to the IU football stadium and basketball arena.

Charming clean and quiet
This home was in excellent condition and had absolutely everything we needed for the weekend. We appreciate the little touches, snacks and water, soft bath towels, coffee. The deck and yard are lovely too. We were so comfortable there, felt like home!

Visit with college kids and a football game
This home now is in a nice, quiet neighborhood with very easy access to Indiana University just approximately 5 miles away. So, about a 15 minute drive. The house is quite large with a wonderful deck out the back and as well as chairs up front to sit and watch the world go by on a beautiful day. The house is very comfortable and good for a group of people to stay. Well equipped with anything you could want / need and very clean. We loved it and hope to return when we come back to visit kids in college and take in university activities.

Move in week for son at IU with the family
I cannot say enough great things about this place! Super clean, comfortable beds, well stocked and great neighborhood to list a few. We wanted a home base for our family of 4 while moving our son into IU. I wanted to be able to wash all his bedding and have a nice place for us all to chill. Great quiet neighborhood about 10 min from campus. communication with the owner was great and he would get right back to me within an hour. Kitchen was well stocked even though we just made coffee and didn't cook. We for sure will stay again as we will be coming back to Bloomington for 4 more years!

Visiting IU or Bloomington? Don't miss this home!
We were in town for a 4 day Senior Swimming Championship meet at IU and instead of the usual cramped hotel for the 3 of us, we tried MJ's home. Roomy 3br home, very clean and well kept, kitchen, bathroom, laundry room are all well supplied. Day 2 of our stay the AC went out - we're homeowners ourselves - we know stuff like that happens at the most inconvenient times. We texted MJ and within 2 hours, the unit was serviced and working properly. He was very responsive and provided detailed info regarding anything we could possibly need while in town. A quick 8 minute drive to the IU pool. The home is in a well kept family friendly neighborhood. Would highly recommend this home for couples or families visiting the Bloomington area!!

Great House! Perfect for Our Visit to Bloomington.
This is an extremely comfortable house in a nice quiet neighborhood. It was a perfect place to return to after busy days during graduation weekend at IU.
