Great property, amazing host!

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!

Spacious and welcoming

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.

Great space for family and friends

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.

Absolutely wonderful

We arrived a little earlier than check in time, I messaged Donna and I was able to check in early. The house is beautiful, the decorating was amazing. It was clean and cozy has everything you need. We use Vrbo at least four times a year in different locations. This was the best Vrbo house we’ve ever stayed in. We will definitely be back.

We chose Donna's home for a birthday party where we needed room for more people than I wanted in my own home. The house is so cute and was perfect for the party. Donna was extremely helpful and accommodating. We will hopefully use this home again in the future.

This is quite possibly one of the BEST VRBO experiences we have ever had. The house was so lovely and well appointed. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs and the location to IWU was great. Donna was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We can't wait to return!

Very old house!

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.

Beautiful home!

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!

Fantastic stay!

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!

Perfect for a stress-free get away

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. ☆☆☆☆☆
