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!

The home, itself, is beautifully furnished with every ammenity you can imagine. Donna, our host, was very accommodating and quick to answer communications. The neighborhood was wonderful for many long walks we took; lots of big, historic homes that have been beautifully maintained. Very close to both college campuses. We'll definitely be back!

Donna's house is beautiful and much larger than it looks from the outside. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and all of the beds and couches were really comfortable. There are also fun touches here and there like remote-controlled colored lighting and the PacMan game. It is also really easy to get to from the interstate. Donna is a fantastic communicator too. I only have great things to say about this house!

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

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. ☆☆☆☆☆

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!

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!

We absolutely loved this house and plan to return again when we visit next. We had a total of 9 ppl: moms, daughters, aunts, grandma, and some friends stay here quite comfortably. The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed both the inside and the backyard on a beautiful day. Donna was great and so easy to work with.

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!!

Donna is an absolute pleasure to work with she answers almost immediately if you send a message and this home is so well appointed with everything you could need to feel right at home. The pictures don’t do it justice it is so clean and beautifully decorated. The beds are extremely comfortable and so much space in every room. Looking forward to returning next time we are in Normal.
