Amenities frequently praised include a well stocked kitchen, an enclosed or three season room, multiple TVs, and games such as an arcade machine. The neighborhood is quiet, and the host is highly responsive with smooth check in. One review mentions limited senior friendly bathroom features and some mildew in tub grout. Expect a comfortable, well equipped home base near the campuses.

This was the perfect spot for my family! We loved the backyard and the 3 seasons room! We wish we could’ve stayed for longer was the overall consensus. The check in process was incredibly easy and we were able to locate everything we needed. The host was very kind as well!

I have so many wonderful things to say about this property! From the start, Donna was wonderful to communicate with! We stayed from Friday and Sunday and it was the perfect spot for us. Great location. Beautiful home. Tons of space. Essentials stocked. Fun extras. We had room to spread out, and then room to come together for a nice family weekend. The kids espscially loved the arcade game, and the hanging chair/hammock outside! We enjoyed playing games and relaxing in several wonderful spaces throughout the house. I cooked all our meals in the kitchen for the weekend. Not having to buy spices/oils was a simple touch that really helped make the weekend that much easier. The property had everything we needed and more! We absolutely plan to stay here again when we're back in town!

This was our second time staying here and again we loved it and had a fantastic time. All the amenities and supplies took care of all of our needs. The location is great and perfect for small groups to hang outside when the weather is on your side or inside with a large gathering room with a large table and TV. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this house for almost any group. I’m guessing we’ll be back again soon.

We had a wonderful time at Donna’s property. The house is close enough to campus but still tucked away on a quiet street. There’s tons of room and available amenities. The backyard is large and beautiful. The kids spent most of their time outdoors running free. Communication with the host was fast and helpful. Highly recommend staying here.

Neighborhood great. House was phenomenal with so many amenities. We were visiting our family and they loved coming over and playing the games/watching the numerous TVs! I did a lot of cooking for my extended family in town and had all utensils and many more cooking supplies than I expected. Will return whenever we can. Two thumbs up from the Grandkids!!

Not a good property for seniors!! No grab bars in the master bath and a very high bath tub. Low rider toilet and you can’t open the door without it running into the toilet. Mildew on the grout in the tub.☹️. Step from driveway to walk has no handrail and dangerous for elderly or handicapped.

The house is beautiful and was very clean and very comfortable. It's much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside and we had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing or gather to do things together. We didn't have much chance to hang out in the back yard, but it's also large and lovely. Donna was great and there were lots of little extras that made us feel very welcome. For example, we arrived in the evening the first night, and she had left the lights on for us! Thank you, Donna! The next time we're in the area, we'll definitely book again!

Our Christmas gathering with our adult children was held here and the house was impeccably decorated. Absolutely beautiful. We all found ourselves referring to our host by her first name because Wow. Donna thought of EVERYTHING. 10 Stars. Comfortable beds. Hands down the best experience all of us have had with vacation rentals. Not one disappointment. Not one critique. Suffice to say will definitely use again!

We stayed here for two nights for my son’s wedding weekend,. It was the cutest and coziest little house, and we had plenty of room to spread out while still having our own privacy. All the bridesmaids (four of them) got ready and had hair and make up done in the house, and the photographer came and took first pictures with the bride and her father as well as the bridesmaids. The house is decorated so pretty that the pictures turned out fantastic. The location is perfect – close to everything yet quiet in a cute little neighborhood. Donna has paid great attention to detail in making her guests feel welcome, and we will definitely stay here again when we visit Bloomington!

This was our second time staying here and again we loved it and had a fantastic time. All the amenities and supplies took care of all of our needs. The location is great and perfect for small groups to hang outside when the weather is on your side or inside with a large gathering room with a large table and TV. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this house for almost any group. I’m guessing we’ll be back again soon.

We enjoyed this home as our “homebase“ as we visited family in the area. Close to uptown normal, really comfortable bedding, and just a fun space - and very nice/responsive owner as well.

Well designed space both indoors and out. Liked the neighborhood and it was very close to the ISU campus which we wanted.

I have so many wonderful things to say about this property! From the start, Donna was wonderful to communicate with! We stayed from Friday and Sunday and it was the perfect spot for us. Great location. Beautiful home. Tons of space. Essentials stocked. Fun extras. We had room to spread out, and then room to come together for a nice family weekend. The kids espscially loved the arcade game, and the hanging chair/hammock outside! We enjoyed playing games and relaxing in several wonderful spaces throughout the house. I cooked all our meals in the kitchen for the weekend. Not having to buy spices/oils was a simple touch that really helped make the weekend that much easier. The property had everything we needed and more! We absolutely plan to stay here again when we're back in town!

Lovely home! So many well decorated, relaxing spaces to hang out and enjoy the quaintness of the home. Kitchen was well stocked for making meals. The outdoor area was delightful and perfect size for my dogs. So glad to have found this gem!

We booked this home for our family stay for our daughter's ISU graduation. The home had everything we needed to relax and gather. Very nice entertainment room/enclosed porch was perfect! Quiet neighborhood and very close to campus. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic stay at this thoughtfully designed home in Normal! The location couldn’t be better, just minutes from ISU, making it incredibly easy to get to and from camp at ISU. The house makes the most of every inch of space, with beautiful décor and a layout that feels both cozy and functional.The kitchen was well-stocked with spices and essentials, which made cooking a breeze. Our kids especially loved the variety of games provided, such a nice touch that kept them entertained during downtime.Donna was great to work with throughout the process: answering questions before our stay, giving recommendations for siblings not attending camp, as well as during our stay.

I typically travel pretty heavy..blow dryer, snacks, pillows..I like to be prepared for anything. This cute cottage had EVERYTHING you could need, and then some! (The only way I wouldn't recommend this place is if you have a messy group - most of the bedding and furniture is white.) The location..perfect. the decor..chic, yet ultra comfy. Hot showers, and more than enough room for a group to feel like they have their own space. Owner put tons of thought into this one. ☆☆☆☆☆

Neighborhood great. House was phenomenal with so many amenities. We were visiting our family and they loved coming over and playing the games/watching the numerous TVs! I did a lot of cooking for my extended family in town and had all utensils and many more cooking supplies than I expected. Will return whenever we can. Two thumbs up from the Grandkids!!

Easy to get to, neighborhood was quiet, and lots of room to spread out or stay close to those staying here. A variety of games were offered. Definitely planning another stay here.

It looks small, but it goes on and on, and it’s furnished perfectly. Clean and comfortable and our host was amazing. Definitely would recommend.
