The house was beautiful—just as pictured! The furniture and beds were really comfortable, kitchen loaded with amenities and house had adorable decor. The perfect place to rest and recharge while I recovered from a surgery even though we had to go out of town.
Cute older home, nicely refurbished with everything we could want for a short stay while settling my student in at ISU. Lovely quiet neighborhood, close to campus.

Thank you for your review and good luck to your student this year!!
Beautiful, spacious, clean home. Wonderful neighborhood. Accurate photos and description of home. Jared was excellent at communicating with us. We had a wonderful weekend visiting our son and nephew at ISU. Would definitely book again!
Overall good location. The home was as photoed and has a comfortable feel. The half bath is in basement (which I may have just missed in description) so was not are useful as i thought it would be.

Great stay
Loved the house, clean, cute, comfortable beds. Great host, very communicative. Let us check in early which we really needed so our daughter could nap. Quiet street. I would stay again.
A perfect place for husband, folks & our German Shepherd for Thanksgiving! Booking, confirmation & check-in was exceptional! Very clean, updated, cozy & quiet neighborhood. We loved it! Such a great place & pet friendly!!!
This house is an absolute gem! Beautfully appointed, fully equipped…we wanted for nothing. The house was immaculate and in a perfect location for our time at Illinois Wesleyan. Will definitely reserve again the next time we’re in town. 10/10 Highly Recommend!!

Thank you for staying with us and welcome back anytime!!
This was the perfect house for my daughter and I while visiting the area to tour Illinois State University. This house felt like home…very welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, clean, comfortable furniture, beautifully decorated, fully stocked kitchen…We would definitely stay again when in the area.
We loved our stay in this cute home. Bit was well maintained and looks exactly like the pictures. There were plenty of linens and they had all the necessities and then some! The house looked great - the furniture was comfortable and CLEAN! Nice quiet neighborhood and close to everything we were doing. We have family in the area and will definitely book this property again. Thank you!
We booked this property to stay in town for Special Olympics State Games. I graduated from ISU so I was familiar with the area, and was thrilled to stay so close to all the action. Quiet neighborhood, lovely home. The owner equipped the home with everything we needed! Very comfortable. Pet friendly! Our dog loved it. 😍

Great little bungalow
My family and I traveled to Normal and found this great home to stay in!!! The neighborhood was quiet - it’s in a beautiful area with mature trees and right across from a huge park. The house was so clean and well maintained. They had all the essentials and so much more!! The furniture was clean - stain free and very comfortable. The bathrooms were remodeled and nice. They provided plenty of linens so I didn’t have to do laundry multiple times a day and it was pet friendly! We will book this place in the future!
Looks smaller, but HUGE potentials then a hotel room.
Just wow, we all enjoyed our time. Looks smaller from the street but get inside and it’s huge! Very roomy for 3 adults and 1teen. Coffee maker is the hit. They provided coffee but we brought some too. The driveway can fit easily a mini van, a large four door truck, and had room for one more if needed. The backyard was roomy for our silver lab to run around. Beds were great too. Half bath downstairs and washer dryer was helpful too. Great places to eat and see the campus. We enjoyed our time and will be back again.
