    Great location near campus and for our baseball tourney in Rantoul. Highly recommend. Quiet neighborhood. Video games, foosball and air hockey were huge hits with the teens. House updates were very well done.

    We had such a great time with the arcade and gaming tables. The hosts were so accommodating and we enjoyed many a great meal around the dining table which accommodated all five of us including 3 generations! We will definitely try to stay again if they aren't already booked.

    The house is about 12 minutes from campus and is nestled in an established community. Felt very safe. The home is well appointed and the game room is great! Easy to navigate the kitchen and find what we needed. Beds were comfortable. Not one complaint! Would definitely stay again!

    This is a great place overall, nice game room, comfy living space. There were a few areas that needed more cleaning: the master bathroom floor, the dining table was sticky, and the room with 2 beds had cobwebs on the ceiling.

    We stayed here for a basketball game with two 6 year old boys and four adults. It was a great location for the game and the games were perfect for the boys. They did not want to leave! Would definitely stay again.

    We had a BLAST at this property. So many games on each arcade game, all in great condition. The house is spacious and cozy. We had a great time and the hosts had wonderful recommendations around the area. Might have to become an annual tradition!

    My kids were super happy about this place. Right off the bat, you walk into the game room, and we spent a good portion of our time playing in there! Foosball, arcade games, air hockey - definitely fun. The beds were comfortable and the house was well-stocked. The hosts communicated well, and check-in and out was easy. Only complaint is the walls are thin, but the place is spacious so that helps. Definitely recommend!
