Fun spot near ISU campus

The house was decorated in a very cute manner. It was very clean and located in a perfect spot near campus for our group of 9 girls. We would definitely stay again if our dance group travels to ISU in the future!

Good spot for campus visit

We stayed here to go to an ISU football game, convenient and close to campus. The unit was nice and served our purpose, we didn't spend a whole lot of time there but the price was right for the amount of beds there were.

Awesome retro themed home

Our family drove in to meet our college student. We wanted a place close to campus and in town. This place was perfect. The space allowed us to spread out or hangout in one of the sitting areas. Lots of cool touches. The working record player gave us the impulse to pickup a few used records in downtown Bloomington. We will definitely be staying here again!

Perfect

My children and grandchildren were here to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday. It was a perfect place for them to stay. They loved it and said it was very nice and they were comfortable. It was close to us and it worked out so well. I received ongoing communication prior to their arrival and checking went without a hitch. Highly recommend!

All good. We were in town for a family reunion. Only used the property for sleeping for the most part but all was satisfactory. Ceiling fans would have been nice too stir the air, but the A/C worked great.

Beautiful home!

This house was so cute and perfect for our team that stayed there!! Everything was adorable such as the decor. There was plenty of stuff as if it was your own home such as laundry, kitchen and bathroom stuff. There was plenty of games as well and little 50s themed things to look at threwout the home. Our host Sara was also very sweet! Helped us out with anything we had needed over the wknd. We will definitely stay again if and when we go back to Normal! Thank you for making a great place to stay!
