Tranquil 2+bd 1.5ba, Park, Dog friendly!

This nicely restored home is conveniently located in a well established, quiet neighborhood. Close to Downtown Bloomington, shops, and restaurants, as well as just a few minute drive to Wesleyan University, ISU, and Uptown Normal shopping and dining!
There is also a great little park right across the street from this home!

The upstairs portion of this home houses the two main bedrooms (one with a king size bed and one with a queen size bed) as well as the half bath.
The main level has a large living room with work space, formal dining room, lounge room, full bathroom, large eat-in kitchen, and laundry room.
The lounge room can be used as a third bedroom with the pullout couch (queen size). YOU MUST NOTIFY US if you intend to use this as a sleeping area as it will not otherwise have linen and pillows. This room is equipped with an cloth accordion style curtain door for privacy. This is not a lockable door and, as such, would be best used as a kids sleeping area. Please note that the full bathroom on the main level is accessed through the lounge room.

The kitchen is fully equipped to handle your cooking needs complete with stove, fridge, and dishwasher. A fully stocked coffee bar includes k-cup coffee options, ground coffee options, various sweeteners and creamers. There is also hot chocolate and various teas available, as well as a separate electric water kettle.
A full sized washer and dryer are available for guest use, as well as laundry pods and dryer sheets.
Guests have full access to the entire home with the exception of the storage closets. We do ask that you avoid going down to the basement unless absolutely necessary and specifically do not allow children to play down there.

NOTE: Please scroll down to the House & Pet Handbook and read through them. By booking this home you are confirming that you have read and agree with the Handbook. If you have any questions about the Handbook please contact us prior to booking.

A simple identity verification procedure and rental agreement confirmation are required upon booking by local safety regulations with an easy-to-use form that you can complete on your computer or smartphone.

HOUSE & PET HANDBOOK:
Welcome to our home! We're so glad that you chose to stay with us. While rules are necessary, our ultimate goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable stay for all of our guests. For everyone's benefit we have some house rules set up that we need go over with you:

(1.) We're here to help: Please don't hesitate to reach out! The best way to reach us is through site chat. Guests must also have an up-to-date phone number at all times on their account as a backup method of communication
(2.) Locals: We'd love to chat with you before you book your stay. Please reach out to us first, and we'll assist you with the reservation process
(3.) Visitors and Guests: Please make sure you book for the accurate number of overnight guests. If you are expecting other visitors throughout your stay please send us a simple message through chat. Our space welcomes a maximum of 10 individuals (guests and visitors) at any given time. Only the number of booked guests will be permitted to stay overnight. Any un-approved guests will result in a $100 per person per night surcharge for the length of stay.
(4.) Support: In the very rare event you encounter an issue with the property that requires attention please let us know immediately. We ask that you allow an ARC Lodging representative to enter the property to resolve the issue.
(5.) Parking: Cars are limited to 4 in the nearby area, including the street and neighborhood. This helps us keep the area pleasant and accessible for everyone.
(6.) Celebrate responsibly: You are welcome to host small gatherings for dinner events for your closest friends and family members. Out of respect for our neighbors we do not permit large, loud, or late night parties. As a reminder, quiet time is at 10pm.
(7.) Feel at home, respectfully: We ask that you keep furniture, electronics, lamps, cable boxes, etc in their places. Please do not tamper with, render inoperative, or change any locks, codes, passwords, thermostat limit settings, or monitoring devices as these devices are in place for your protection as well as ours
(8.) Smoking Policy: Smoking is only allowed in the back yard and must be at least 15 feet from any windows or doors into the home. Smoking is strictly prohibited in any area inside the home, the front porch, the driveway, and the front yard. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in keeping these areas smoke-free. This includes but is not limited to cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vaping, hookahs, pipes, cigars, cannabis, etc. A flat $1,000 damage fee as well as $100/day violation fee for the length of the stay will be immediately charged to anyone found in violation.
(9.) While we ask that food and beverage remain in the kitchen/dining area (especially with children), we also understand it's nice to relax with a drink or a snack in front of the tv. You acknowledge and agree that any spills or stains will result in an additional cleaning fee that you hereby agree to pay
(10.) Pets: please see our pet rules below
(11.) Check-in and Check-Out: We often have very limited time to prepare the home between guests. Early access and late departure will not be permitted unless cleared ahead of time with host.

Unapproved late check-outs will result in a $75 per hour surcharge (or any portion thereof) past the check-out time.
