The homeowner got back to me asap on any questions I had. The front porch was super cozy and made a great spot for early morning coffee.

Would stay again

Scott is an excellent host. His communication is quick specific. I stayed at the house for a state wrestling tournament with my 10 year old son and a friend of his. Another coach and son came later as well. The kids loved the upstairs to play their video games and have their own space. Location is 1 mile from downtown, close to everything. The house was very clean and servicable. I would stay there again if back in Decatur. Also, I had left a sweatshirt, Scott mailed it back to me right away, I appreciated how available he was.

All good here

The property was clean and in good working order. The neighborhood is quiet and the house was comfortable with heating and everything else working well. We appreciate the coffee, and basics in the kitchen. Be aware that there is only one bathroom with a shower/bath, and that the upstairs largest bedroom does not have a shower. Getting access was super easy.

About the host

Hosted by Scott

I am a former Millikin graduate 88-92 during this time I played Football and ran track and field. My parents purchased this house for me and my sisters who are also Millikin graduates. We worked on the house and lived here while going to college. It has been in our family for over 30 years and I decided to open it up and let other families experience this unique home. It is a wonderful home that has many stories to tell so come enjoy and share your story with us.
