    While in town for a family funeral, we could not have chosen a better place for our family to stay! It was like visiting family by staying there. Roomy, clean, stocked well, and such a fabulous back yard! I wish we had that house in every town we visit. Great communication with the owners and highly recommend for anyone with a larger family visiting the area.

    This was another great stay for us while visiting the Bloomington-Normal area for work. The outdoor setup is wonderful and we enjoyed sitting out back enjoying the fire pit and the amenities.

    We had the Farmhouse Retreat for our son and his groomsmen the weekend of the wedding. Everything was great and was as promised. The owner provided great communication for everything we needed to know.

    We stayed in this lively home for a few days leading up to our son’s college graduation . It was the perfect place to be able to cook for our family and friends and celebrate our son. The host err very accommodating and the home was comfortable. We will definitely look to stay here the next time we visit.

    Four retired cousins rented this house, and we found it just wonderful for our needs. We especially appreciated the magnificent kitchen, where we could cook old family favorites. The hosts were wonderful to work with and friendly. We recommend!
