Timeless Charming Modern Home
Timeless charm with modern comforts, this cozy home is perfect for friends, families or travelers looking for comfort and style. The house is located about 5 miles from the airport, 1 mile from IWU and ISU, and within walking distance to the hospital as well as Uptown; great location! The neighborhood is quaint, there is a grade school a few doors down with a nice jungle gym. The Constitution Trail is 1/2 mile from the house, perfect for pets, walks and biking. Or, just rest and relax at the house ☺️
Relax and unwind on the front porch, two large wicker chairs, potted plants, great for morning coffee, evening drinks or watching squirrels, birds and mother nature. Very peaceful! The large steps leading to the front door as well as the large steps on the back patio are a favorite for guest. Great for taking group pics and plenty of seating on the steps for socializing
Location, atmosphere, decor and comfort are guest favorites!

Great Spot
My hubby and I stayed here with our fellow Redbird parents (total of 4 adults) for ISU's homecoming weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Check in was super easy, communication with the host Donna was excellent. She really goes above and beyond to make her guests feel right at home. Everything listed was exactly as promised. Situated right between ISU and IWU, so whether you're there to visit your Redbird or Titan, you're in a great location. We will definitely book this again. Thank you Donna for being such a great host! Highly recommend.

Holiday Visit
The house is in a great location to get anywhere in town. Its well laid out, incredibly comfortable beds, great kitchen and well appointed.
The backyard is great for just hanging out and relaxing, and the front porch wonderful for sitting and watching the neighborhood.
I can't wait to stay here again!
