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!
