Very pleased with the whole experience. Loved the attention to detail, both the availability of needed amenities like TP, linens, etc, and the wonderful re-creation of the time period! My grandsons couldn’t get over the telephone and the telephone book (we even found a distant relative listed!). And I was SO impressed by the quick response and answer to my call. I would highly recommend this location for your next visit to Normal!

Perfectly Normal
This is a great property for a family visit to the Bloomington/Normal area or for ISU events or concerts. Close to everything in Normal. It is on a busy corner in normal so it can be loud.

They had everything from baby wash to a surprise board game room. Just enough of everything and didn’t miss any of the details.
