Haworth Cottage 2 blks to Millikin University

Great host. Excellent communication. Clean house with a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Nicely decorated, comfy bed, lots of space. The internet was good, and we appreciated being so close to the school. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The only downside was that we like to watch tv in bed before we go to sleep and neither bedroom had a tv in it. Good tv in the living room.

Loved our stay! Older home but sweet '60-'70 vibe. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The wrap around patio could be a great place to hangout. It was just too hot while we were there. Such a sweet touch to have breakfast foods to prepare in the fridge.

Enjoyed our stay! Excellent host!

The property was really cute. The best were very comfortable and the location was so convenient. Really close to a lot of restaurants and COFFEE. No tvs in the bedrooms was a bummer. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

A gracious host and a wonderful second visit for us. Thanks, again!

Mark was super accommodating and our stay was full of pleasant surprises surpassing what was mentioned in the listing. It was a quick (read: potentially stressful) trip for me and my 2 kiddos and I can honestly say that these little supports took a huge load off. We will definitely stay here again!

Everything was great. Nice cozy house.

A delightful, gracious host and a place that met all our needs at a great price!

The kitchen was well-stocked with breakfast items and cookware. What a lovely surprise!

Everything was Great

Rooms far more spacious than what the photos looked to be. Plenty of chilly AC, AND ceiling fans. Mattresses the most comfortable I've ever slept in !Breakfast waiting in the fridge? Unheard of !!Relatively quiet neighborhood with the rare exception of neighbor's daytime dog. Liked the private parking driveway and the walk to Lock Stock and Barrel was only 2 blks away.No grocery nearby, but we weren't around enough to cook anything. (Fully stocked kitchen tho and washer and dryer in basement.) The ONLY hitch....A beautiful media entertainment center with big screen TV that was totally unwilling to cooperate for broadcast viewing. Wanted to see Monday Night football and no amount of troubleshooting by 2 people produced zero results. : (Highly doubt I'll be returning to Decatur the town I grew up in, but I cannot recommend highly enough this hidden cottage just off Eldorado Ave. A wholly enjoyable road trip overall.

Mark was very communicative. The fridge stocked with breakfast items was such a treat! We really enjoyed our stay!

Mark is an amazing host. Excellent communication. Breakfast items left specifically for us in the fridge were a most appreciated gift. Kitchen had everything we needed. Those considering the property should know that the two bedrooms and the bathroom are upstairs. Beds were comfortable and both rooms had ample space. Instructions for tv use and streaming services were clear and easy to find. Neighborhood is a bit rundown but we did not feel at all unsafe.

This home is exactly that. A home. It is so warm and welcoming and you feel so good when you walk through the front door. Check in was so easy and the home is exactly what you see online. What you don't see is how easy it is to communicate with Mark. How well stocked the home is. How comfy the furniture and the beds are. This place took me back to my childhood when I used to stay at my grandma's house or my auntie's house. But back to how well the house was stocked. EVERYTHING you may have forgotten, thought you should have brought, or even hadn't thought about bringing until you got to Marks house. Every room was stocked with anything that you might need. The kitchen was FULLY stocked. That was such an amazing surprise. I stay in a lot of rentals and none of them stock the kitchen. Not even with the basic needs. So it was wonderful to get to the house after a long and tedious trip and open the fridge and there was stuff to eat. What a blessing. I would recommend this home to any and everyone. It is quite special. We brought my granddaughter to get setup in her dorm at Millikin University and her dorm was literally a 5 minute walk from the house.

This was a trip for work and I couldnt have asked for a better stay! Very clean home with a very attentive host. Check in and out was super easy and everything you need for a comfortable stay is right there.

House had a lot of character. Comfortable. Well decorated.

Mark, the host, is great. The communication, the breakfast, the house. It’s perfect for our needs. This was our second time in as many years and will be booking for next year soon.

Great

We love staying at Haworth House and will stay there again.

The cottage was very cute and cozy. Kitchen had plenty of cookware, utensils etc. It was clean, beds were VERY comfortable!!! Mark was very helpful and pleasant to communicate with. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely be booking next time Im up there.

Cute little house with nostalgic charm. We traveled over Thanksgiving to visit our daughter. We had a small thanksgiving dinner with her. The kitchen was well stocked with breakfast items for us which save a trip to the grocery store! The bed was comfy and we had lots of room. Wasn’t sure about the neighborhood, but we felt safe inside and it was too cold to be outside anyway.

I absolutely loved staying here. Highly recommend it, and will book it again. I was in town for a conference at Milliken U, and this location was ideal. The host gave excellent directions/instructions. Check-in was easy. The home is clean and comfortable with a kitchen with all of the pots, pans, dishes, etc. I was able to bring my dog and walk him around the neighborhood. Breakfast food was left on the counter and in the refrigerator. Lots of coffees and teas to choose from

Overall, Haworth Cottage is wonderful...the house has lots of cozy charm & we loved all the eclectic decor, very fun! It probably should be mentioned the bedrooms & bath are upstairs, in case someone has knee issues. And not sure it's completely safe to walk the area at night, but daytime seems okay. Very close to Millikin and would be a delight for anyone visiting the University.

This is a beautifully maintained home in an old neighborhood, just a stone's throw from the Millikin Homestead. I say hidden gem because I have walked by this house countless times without knowing what what was behind the flower-lined picket fence. The host generously supplied breakfast fixings that saved us from a late run to the grocery the night we arrived. My brother called it an oasis. You can't go wrong staying here. We will certainly try to book this properyy the next time we have to be in Decatur.

The house and grounds were adorable and well taken care of. We appreciated the breakfast supplies. I was a little worried not hearing from the host until the night before on check in and out procedures, but that may be standard. Overall it was a great experience.
