Family fun
We live in California and have a very large extended family in McLean County. The four bedrooms made traveling with toddlers much more enjoyable. We were able to visit family, and they were able to visit us.

Home away from home 🏡
Lovely home on a large lot with multiple outdoor spaces. Check in/out was a breeze. Property owner called shortly after we arrived to give us the lay of the land and answer any questions we had and was easy to reach as needed during our stay. This was our first time renting a home instead of using a hotel and we loved it!

Perfect Homes for Visiting Family at Westminster
A perfect place for small and medium sized family gatherings. Our extended family of three couples stayed at this wonderful home over Thanksgiving, using it as a base to visit elderly relatives living at the Westminster Village retirement community in Bloomington (8 minutes away). The layout was perfect, and the younger children in our group loved the large yard area for football and games. The kitchen is clean and very well equipped, and the hosts were extremely accommodating and available for questions. We enjoyed our stay so much, we booked it again for Christmas!

A perfect location
What a great property. From the amazing hospitality from the property manager to the beautiful property. This place has it all. It is a short drive to downtown ISU and all of the local corporate areas. I have friends and family who stay at ISU. This will now be my preferred place to stay. Very quite with a homey vibe. I was able to use my own grill and have just the right amount of space for the people that were staying. I can’t wait to come back.
