Quarryman's Home: A Distinct & Thoughtful Stay

The Quarryman's home was built in Bloomington in 1930. The original charm remains with the home, including the working fireplace, the natural woodwork and antique hardware. The bright home is quiet & private, although very close to town & walking trails. The decor is rustic, modern, & includes treasures from walks in the woods & travels abroad. The Quarryman's Home is ideal for those whom appreciate the details & desire a personalized stay. It is clean, thoughtfully appointed, & cozy. My home is quiet, clean, and well-cared-for. The inside communal spaces are built to invite conversation and relaxation with plenty of comfy places to sit, books to read, and a large dinner table for gathering. The outside fire pit or the front porch swing is a favorite place to sit and watch the sky. The library consists of contemporary novels and photographic monographs that you could spend an afternoon flipping through. Each bedroom is spacious, private, and outfitted with luxe bedding, lots of pillows, and has at least one window. A cursive typewriter sits in the front bedroom. Built-in shelves provide lots of bedtime reading options. Ceiling fans keep the air moving. Please note that one bedroom has a lofted bed. You can access the bed from stairs, but it is a little funky to manage. It is not an area for children or boozers to sleep upon. The kitchen is outfitted with better than basic cooking necessities, including super sharp knives, Le Creuset pots, pans, vintage cast iron, handmade ceramic mugs, and enough dinnerware to feed a small army. The kitchen also has a KitchenAid stand mixer, a Cuisinart food processor & a Breville juicer. The gas range is ideal and has five burners. A microwave sits in the pantry for those of y'all non-cookers. The garden beds produce tomatoes, herbs, and cucumbers in season. Potted herbs and plants sit around the house in the winter. An apple tree, pear tree, mulberry tree, and peach tree sit on the property along with concord grape vines and blackberry bushes, asparagus, and a strawberry patch. The quarryman's home is a perfect respite from the everyday. Longer stays in my home are negotiable and welcomed. Well-behaved pets are welcomed into the space, as I understand how important it is to have a comfortable place to sleep while traveling with an animal in-tow. I have a fully fenced in back yard that easily accommodates pets. Pet visitors must be pre-approved and they incur an additional fee due to the additional cleaning time that is required. The Quarryman's home is located in the Clear Creek neighborhood of Bloomington. It is just a short walk to a local pizza parlor and ice cream shop. Additionally, there is a Kroger grocery 1 minute away. Great walking trails are 1/2 mile from the house. The largest lake in Indiana is a 6 minute drive southeast. And downtown Bloomington is just a few miles north. The IU campus is a quick and direct drive north east. Uber and Lyft rides into town are inexpensive and quick. Bring your bike and cycle directly into town via the Clear Creek Trail and the B-Line Walking Trail. My home is situated on a private half acre lot with a short driveway that accommodates a maximum of 4-6 vehicles. Bike trails lead you directly into the downtown area and near the IU campus. Uber + Lyft are the best way to get around in Bloomington nowadays during your late nights out, and it's a quick, cheap, easy, and direct drive from The Quarryman's Home to all of the hot spots.
