This was our second time staying here and again we loved it and had a fantastic time. All the amenities and supplies took care of all of our needs. The location is great and perfect for small groups to hang outside when the weather is on your side or inside with a large gathering room with a large table and TV. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this house for almost any group. I’m guessing we’ll be back again soon.

What a beautiful gem of a house! I loved the different tiers of space. 3 living areas was perfect. The beds were super comfy and the back yard was so peaceful. Coming from the city with airplanes, L train, and highway noise, this was just a dream come true. We moved our son into ISU without a kink, and being so close to campus was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Great property, amazing host!

I have so many wonderful things to say about this property! From the start, Donna was wonderful to communicate with! We stayed from Friday and Sunday and it was the perfect spot for us. Great location. Beautiful home. Tons of space. Essentials stocked. Fun extras. We had room to spread out, and then room to come together for a nice family weekend. The kids espscially loved the arcade game, and the hanging chair/hammock outside! We enjoyed playing games and relaxing in several wonderful spaces throughout the house. I cooked all our meals in the kitchen for the weekend. Not having to buy spices/oils was a simple touch that really helped make the weekend that much easier. The property had everything we needed and more! We absolutely plan to stay here again when we're back in town!

Spacious and welcoming

We had a wonderful time at Donna’s property. The house is close enough to campus but still tucked away on a quiet street. There’s tons of room and available amenities. The backyard is large and beautiful. The kids spent most of their time outdoors running free. Communication with the host was fast and helpful. Highly recommend staying here.

Great space for family and friends

We had a fantastic stay at this thoughtfully designed home in Normal! The location couldn’t be better, just minutes from ISU, making it incredibly easy to get to and from camp at ISU. The house makes the most of every inch of space, with beautiful décor and a layout that feels both cozy and functional.The kitchen was well-stocked with spices and essentials, which made cooking a breeze. Our kids especially loved the variety of games provided, such a nice touch that kept them entertained during downtime.Donna was great to work with throughout the process: answering questions before our stay, giving recommendations for siblings not attending camp, as well as during our stay.

We arrived a little earlier than check in time, I messaged Donna and I was able to check in early. The house is beautiful, the decorating was amazing. It was clean and cozy has everything you need. We use Vrbo at least four times a year in different locations. This was the best Vrbo house we’ve ever stayed in. We will definitely be back.
