Hoosiers!! 🏈❤️🏈 As as family full of IU alumni, current and future students, we are beyond excited for this IU Football team! Back in the 90’s, we would attend games as students, but usually leave by halftime as the game was already over. Not anymore! This team has been amazing and so fun to follow. So proud of our Hoosiers and ❤️ seeing Hoosier Nation fill the stadiums in support.

If you are looking for a vacation rental in the Bloomington area to come visit your student or to cheer on the Hoosiers, consider a stay at 5 Crimson Pines Log Cabin. We are new to the rental market and have many open dates, including weekends this fall to enjoy the beauty of southern Indiana and cheer for the Hoosiers! All new furnishings, hot tub, game room, fire pit, and pet-friendly. Sleeps 6-8. We have added a cooler and camp chairs for guest to borrow in the fall if they plan to tailgate. Go Hoosiers! 🏈❤️🏈. https://moondancevacationhomes.com/vacation-rentals/5-crimson-pines/
