The inside of this home is eclectic - very fun to explore. The beds are comfortable, and the place is super clean. The kitchen is a bit small.

Really cool property! The upstairs suite is designed in a fun, interesting way that makes it ideal for a single person, couple, or a family. Loved my long weekend here!

Long Weekend at Scholars Keep
We booked both downstairs and upstairs units for our group. Everything went smoothly and accommodations were as described. Location is just a walk from everything.

Brothers’ weekend
This is the 3rd year in a row that my brothers and I have had an extended weekend at the KEEP. It truly is a perfect place for a long weekend. The location is ideal. The open area to hang out is amazing. We have gotten both the upstairs and downstairs each time. Hopefully we will be back again next year

Ying to our Yang
We rented this upstairs apartment with the downstairs unit. Beautiful place. Two bedrooms and could easily put others on a couch. Small kitchen, but we used the full kitchen downstairs. Really nice.

Perfect stay
Everything checked out as i suspected (i had seen the downstairs unit before) and the unit is very well appointed and close to IU for parent visits. I had an issue getting sports channels on the Roku TV but maybe that was my lack of familiarity with the system

Unique Space in a Great Location
Lots of space with an awesome deck. Provided a perfect base for exploring Bloomington. Great for a small group looking to take advantage of the many restaurants and bars that are just a short walk away.
