    We reserved the house in preparation for a wedding at Haley Mansion and it was great. The location was perfect and the house could easily accommodate the bridesmaids for hair and makeup. The owners were very responsive to adjustment requests. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Highly recommend.

    Overall, the house was great. It was clean, stocked, and was in a great location. The skunk smell from the front porch kind of killed the vibe though. Communication with host was great as well, but our kids saw the same woman driving by the house throughout our stay and that same woman had to drop off a small wicker basket so it could be placed in the house. Coincidences are crazy.

    We had a wonderful stay here although there was something out of control of the owner. A skunk had died before we got there so there was a very bad smell in the front of the house which did kind of disturb a portion of our stay and we had to buy a candle to try to mask the smell. We stayed for two night for the day before the wedding and the night after. It had everything we needed and the dining room had enough space for 2 makeup artists and 1 hair stylist to set up. Overall it was a comfortable stay in a nice area. The picture provided is the bride in the front room.

    We had a great stay at this home in Joliet for a weekend golf trip with three of my buddies. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed—from a well-equipped kitchen to plenty of space to relax after a long day on the course.The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, and we were within easy driving distance to several great golf courses and restaurants. The host was super responsive and made check-in a breeze.Overall, it was the perfect base for our golf weekend. Would definitely stay here again next time we’re in the area!

    This was our hub for our son's wedding at the Jacob Henry Mansion. Location was great for the wedding. We did have a heat wave and the AC had a little trouble keeping up, but that was not a major issue. Loved the updates in the home. The fold-out couches were super comfortable too!

    I have stayed in many rentals for vrbo and this one was my favorite. It had lots of areas for storage (kitchen, bathroom, closets) and plenty of hooks. The house is lovely and I was able to relax as if it was my own house. Six adults stayed here and I didn't feel crammed. However, the two bedrooms upstairs share a bathroom. The kitchen items were in excellent shape. I will definitely stay here again if I'm ever in the area. If you're trying to decide where to stay, this one is a winner!

    My daughter goes to school in Chicago and needed surgery but we live in Holland, MI. This house was perfect for us to all stay together during this time and we could take care of her as a family. We got to bring the dog which helped ease anxieties and stress! The neighbor was lovely and I enjoyed my breaks from nursing by walking the dog. Thank you so much!!!! 😊
