Perfect rental property for a larger group!

Stayed here a weekend in Oct, 2023. Party of 5. Excellent property with loads of room, nicely appointed, top end linens, comfy beds, and convenient to everything. Plenty of off-street parking too. Look for the stand-alone freezer in the garage. That's not an obvious location.

Perfect Family Gathering Spot

This is a charming house, lovingly and carefully updated and maintained. It has a great combination of antique charm and modern amenities, and the host made our stay very easy. Makes we wish we had reasons to visit Normal more often!

About the host

Hosted by Tania Willis

I have lived in Bloomington/Normal for 10 years and my family has embraced and engaged in this community since living here. My husband is a 30 year State Farmer and my kids are go to school in walking distance from this very home. I am a Real Estate professional and investor, I love homes, especially old homes! It's not just about the house but what property can do for anyone.. from a beautiful and tranquil space to financial freedom. I hope you find this space as gorgeous as I do.

Why they chose this property

The home you have just booked is the first home built in Normal IL. Affectionately known as the John Gregory house. It was built around 1851 and has been a historic staple in this town ever since. For an old home enthusiast, this Italianate home has been meticulously maintained over the years keeping the culture and beauty while preserving the functionality. It sits on .75 acres in walking distance to Illinois State University, University High School and Metcalf Laboratory School. It is close to Illinois Wesleyan University, Rivian, State Farm, OSF, and countless restaurants and shopping centers.
