Absolutely perfect place, Penny made everything so smooth and fantastic. So many little touches that made our stay even nicer. Came into town to visit daughter that is attending Millikin, this location was so close which made it that much better of a trip so we weren’t driving 15 min to see her. Can’t wait to come back and stay again.

The house was AMAZING! It was exactly how it was listed, super clean, ample towels and toiletries, etc. There was a basket of snacks in the kitchen with every type of coffee you would need along with bottled water in the fridge. The host communication was excellent and very timely. We definitely will stay here again and recommend it!

We were so pleased to stay in this lovely historic West End home. We wanted to be in our old neighborhood and it was just perfect for our needs. The house is decorated with beautiful antiques and is a nice safe welcoming neighborhood. The yard was beautifully kept, and the beds were very comfortable. Thank you so much for our visit. We will be back in October!

Penny was absolutely hands down every bit of a gracious host. The space was inviting, centrally located and peaceful. There is everything you could need for your stay. We are looking forward to calling Decatur our home soon enough and looking forward to the hospitality like Penny offered. Comfortable bed, fully stocked kitchen, refill of anything that you use. Just come with your suitcase and enjoy the weather, sun and neighborhood.

Great place!

My husband and I stayed here with our 1 year old. The home is clean and cozy. Checking in was effortless. The home is in a quiet location in between two lovely neighbors. Plenty of space for our baby to roam around - with an added retractable gate near the basement stairs for safety! Highly recommend if visiting the area.
