Great place to stay!
Everything about the stay from start to finish was convenient and the house was spotless! The affordable price made it much more economical for a family to stay versus a hotel. The main bedroom bed was unusually hard but the couch was very comfortable. Would recommend for sure!!

Awesome Hidden Gem
This house is adorable and perfect for your next trip to Mattoon. It has most everything you’ll need for a great stay. We did have to buy some toilet paper and paper towels but it’s okay because we weren’t at the mercy of a hotel and all the other people there.The house is in a perfect location for pretty much everything you’ll be doing. We will most definitely stay here again when we come back to town to visit family.

Great Family Stay
We had an excellent stay. The home was clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed. Getting in and out of the house with the smart-lock was easy and convenient. The owner was very responsive to my messages and accommodating. My toddler loved the big TV in the living room and the kids table. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would recommend this place to others.

Good Little House
We were staying in the area to visit family. The house served perfectly as a 'home base'. We slept pretty well, though the queen bed was a little hard. The house was comfortable with smart TVs. Lots of supplies in in the kitchen. We were very happy and will likely stay again.

This property is amazing! Lovely and cozy, just like the pictures. So many amenities- like coffee syrup and cream to already made ice in the fridge. Beds were fine, plenty of towels and great space to just chill. We will definitely book here again when we are in Mattoon! Thanks for thinking of everything!

Beautiful home
We have stayed at many Mattoon hotels in the past few years and none can compare to this home. Very clean, upgraded tvs, fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer. Highly recommend and will hopefully be back again next year.

Home Away From Home
The stay was very pleasant. It was like home away from home. Very unexpected, but incredibly nice gestures, like a snack basket in the kitchen and candy jar in the living room. The desk and internet was perfect for my morning Zoom meeting. I highly recommend!

WOW! Great place! Nice little home that has been totally re-done. Still smells like new! Has everything you would want as they make a great effort to supply what is needed for a comfortable stay. Absolutely NO reason to stay in a hotel in Charleston/Mattoon area with this gem! Will return!

Loved this place!
This place was amazing! Friendly neighbors, safe neighborhood, and very quiet! We felt like royalty during our entire stay. THe place was so spacious and clean, and even though it was just the two of us, we really enjoyed the convenience of having a second bathroom. The kitchen was probably the best equipped of all our rentals to day and we have stayed in over 20 of them. There was tons of counter space and the island in the kitchen made it easy to spread out. The coffee bar and my favorite sweeteners, creamers and an incredible variety of wonderful pods for the Keurig machine. We were in town to ride the local bike trail and the location was perfect for us. Mattoon is a great little town and the Hubbart Diner had some of the best food ever. We hope we are able to visit here again this year and would love to stay in this wonder place again!

Nice place, but...
Nice house in quiet neighborhood that is located near stores, restaurants and parks. The only problem was the cleanliness of the house and the living room furniture. This place would be VERY nice if the sofa and love seat were replaced and a new and better housekeeper was hired.

Quiet but needed cleaning
Was a nice quiet neighborhood. Stay was during the week, not a weekend. Downside was hair in the sheets. One bed looked like someone had already slept in it with dirty feet. There was soap scum in the tub. Toilet had not been wiped clean. Food was in the kitchen sink strainer and scum along the edges in the sink bowl. With a better house keeper I would have rated this a five star.
