The moms have been meeting once a year since and this is our go to house as it’s big enough to have all of our boys over one night for a home cooked meal. The boys love the party garage and the moms love the open living room/ dining room where we can all hang out. Well stocked. Only issue is the basement was a bit cold since it was so cold outside but the owner kindly brought over extra space heaters. Will miss this place when they graduate in 3 months! ##### Jen T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dan P. 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### IU Football fans Great for big group! ##### Dan P.
