About this property
Prof's Place: by IU Stadium, Griffy Lake/Woods
Totally private, newly renovated 1200 sq ft self-enclosed ground-level home with separate entrance, hardwood floors, quartz kitchen countertop, and top-of-the-line appliances. No stairs. 2.5 acres of paradise only steps from the IU football stadium, other sports arenas, Assembly Hall, Griffy Lake, and the IU golf course. IU professor lives on the main floor of the house upstairs. There is no shared space. We will be as quiet as possible upstairs so as not to disturb you. We hope you do the same for us. Quiet hours are 10pm-7am.
Huge living room (with twin sofa bed), dining area, two bedrooms (each with queen bed), one study (with queen sofa bed), huge kitchen, full bath.
Guests can easily park at least three cars outside.
Please be sure to register all guests. I can use the exterior Ring security camera to check the number of guests entering the premises. (I have no interior cameras anywhere.)

About the host
Hosted by Ethan Michelson
As an IU professor who has lived in Bloomington for over 20 years, I may be able to answer your questions about the city and the university. (I know the Griffy trails very well!)
Why they chose this property
I love the fact that I'm in a rustic environment in the middle nature but also so close to campus, the football stadium, and downtown.
What makes this property unique
I'm steps from Griffy Lake and its massive network of beautiful hiking trails, but also steps from the football stadium, other sports facilities, and Assembly Hall.
