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.

Great bungalow in north Normal
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!

Walking distance to Hancock Stadium!
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!
