Hidden Gem!!!

It was amazing! This place is a hidden gem! I met a really nice couple there, they live 45 min away and never knew this place exists, so for them it was a short drive getaway. For me it was just perfect Mother’s Day gift to myself:) historical place, tastefully decorated to preserve the time when it was build, very quiet and green streets around. Very tasty breakfast ( the baked peach with cinnamon was just something!!!), I took it outside! Very nice owners, everything was more than I expected! Definitely will stay again!!!

One Night in History

My stay at Vrooman was very positive overall. I was tired of the same old hotels and wanted to experience something new for the one night I would be in Bloomington, IL, And this place was so unique I wasn't disappointed. I stayed in the Masters Chambers, a beautiful huge bedroom with a detached personal bathroom. I appreciated the period accurate and historical decor In the room, as well as throughout the home. I also really enjoyed the breakfast the morning after. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, and even though I hate mushrooms with a passion, I felt I had to give the mushroom souffle a try. And I'm glad I did! All in all, it's a great place to stay if you want something different. Staff was also very helpful and had great communication and dedication to problem solving even through a tiny issue I had during my stay. Would definitely stay again, and you should too!

We recieved a warm welcome and tour of the mansion upon arrival. Our beautiful room was enormous and we had a stylish antique bathroom located across the hall. Breakfast was amazing and we had wonderful conversation with the other guests. The piano downstairs can be played by anyone, and one of the couples were playing and singing, which my husband really enjoyed. Our stay was short, so we weren't able to explore the neighborhood as we would have liked. We would love to return and stay longer.

Anniversary getaway

A quick anniversary getaway to Julia’s room. The Christmas/holiday decorations throughout the mansion were beautiful, such a lovely time to visit! Breakfast was delicious, fruit cup, french toast, sweet potato frittata and thick cut bacon. We are local to the mansion and plan to enjoy stays in the future!
