弗魯曼豪宅旅館

I've been there twice - once in 2022 and once in 2024. On our first visit, we arrived at 5:30 PM and were greeted immediately at the door. The gentleman who met us (Brian), gave us a full tour of the historic house and grounds - and even played the piano for us! We enjoyed snacks and drinks right outside our room. We sat out on the covered porch on the side of the house and enjoyed the setting sun. In the morning, we were treated to a gourmet breakfast. We stayed in the Carl Vrooman suite; had 3 rooms. One was "standard", with a comfortable bed, the second was a sitting room with Carl's desk and a couch; then a separate bath with clawfoot tub. Everything was very "period". It was quiet, clean, and easy access to restaurants in Bloomington. We bounced a dinner idea off Brian and he heartily agreed - and it was great! Left at 9:00 the next morning, refreshed and happy. On our second visit - we tried the Rose Suite - and stayed for 2 nights. This had 2 rooms - a bedroom and separate bathroom with a clawfoot tub as well. It was quiet. We went mid-week and there was only one other couple there. Explored their library and sat in the sitting area by the fireplace by the front door. Highly recommend.

SO pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem in the heart of Bloomington. I booked an overnight here in their Carriage House- Charlevoix Suite for my husband’s Birthday and it was just the present I wanted to give him. The suite had the most beautiful decor and luxurious ambiance. The copper claw foot tube being one of my personal favorites. The bed was very comfortable and the thoughtfulness of the amenities was definitely noticed. Pam and her staff were so welcoming. They prepared a delicious birthday cake for my husband and had it in the kitchen when we arrived to the carriage house. They also had some appetizers and a marvelous charcuterie board for us. Pam also went out of the way to make sure that my husband had his Mt Dew Baja Blast and chocolate milk. We had a wonderful stay and then breakfast the next morning was definitely the icing on the cake. We walked over through the amazingly landscaped grounds to the mansion in the morning to be served THE most tasty breakfast I’ve had in a long time. The sweet potato and sausage frittata was so savory and fitting for the first day of fall. However, the peaches n’ cream stuffed French toast was a MUST HAVE, will think about later, dish. 10/10 recommend staying here ESPECIALLY if you’re local like us. What an amazing experience that we’ll always remember. We can’t wait to go back and visit. We hear that Christmas time is extraordinarily magical!

The room was well appointed and the bed was so cozy. We didn’t want for anything and the snack closet was a great touch. They had wine glasses and bottle opener for our wine along with water and coffee for the next morning. The breakfast was different and fabulous. Will recommend Vrooman to anyone looking for a b&b.

My daughter and I stayed the evening after a concert at the Castle Theatre. The entire mansion is so unique and the history is evident throughout. Our room, Master’s Chamber, was very comfortable with a private bathroom. The breakfast was excellent, ranking in the top two or three restaurant breakfasts I’ve had. I would recommend staying at the Vrooman Mansion to anyone.

This was our third stay in as many years. The Vrooman staff are always friendly and gracious… and the breakfast was so delicious! I had an issue with my phone when ordering a ride share and one of the staff members ordered it for me on her own phone. Always above and beyond!

First time ever staying in a bed and breakfast, and it didn’t disappoint. Warm welcome when we arrived, a quick tour of a lovely historic mansion. Well thought out with extra touches that made the stay memorable. Great gourmet breakfast! A+
