Note: Up to 8 guests can be included, but this would mean two people would need to sleep on an air mattress or futon. For reservations that are longer than one day, more than 6 adults would be pushing it as there is just one bathroom. Also note that this is located in a quiet neighborhood, so we ask that guests respect the noise ordinance for the Town of Normal to keep noise down after 9:30 PM.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The games, pool table and air hockey are nice for families. The back yard, grill and fire pit are great for outdoor cook outs. The jacuzzi tub is lovely. Everything is very clean.
