    The house was beautiful—just as pictured! The furniture and beds were really comfortable, kitchen loaded with amenities and house had adorable decor. The perfect place to rest and recharge while I recovered from a surgery even though we had to go out of town.

    Overall good location. The home was as photoed and has a comfortable feel. The half bath is in basement (which I may have just missed in description) so was not are useful as i thought it would be.

    This house is an absolute gem! Beautfully appointed, fully equipped…we wanted for nothing. The house was immaculate and in a perfect location for our time at Illinois Wesleyan. Will definitely reserve again the next time we’re in town. 10/10 Highly Recommend!!

    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.
