About the host

Hosted by Matthew Bradford

Host profile image
We are a family of four that loves to spend our summers in Bloomington, Indiana. When we're in town, our favorite things to do are to spend time at Lake Griffy, riding the mountain biking trails at Wapehani, going to the shops on Kirkwood, and eating the early bird special at Mother Bear's Pizza!

Why they chose this property

We love the home's proximity to Bryan Park, how central the neighborhood is to the rest of Bloomington, and how the deer in the neighborhood come to see us nearly every day. The home is perfect for a single guest, a family, or friends.

What makes this property unique

The comfy living room for movie nights, and the relaxing back yard for outdoor dining and relaxing. We love this space and we hope that you will too!
