Beautiful home in a great location
Posted Oct. 8, 2024 on HomeAwayWe spent the weekend at this cute home with our parents and loved it. Very clean and nicely maintained property next to a beautiful park with community gardens. Molly was very accommodating and super prompt and clear in her responses to our questions/requests. We'd definitely stay again when we travel as a family next.

Perfect for our travel baseball tournament
Posted Jun. 17, 2024 on HomeAwayStayed here with my boyfriend and two teens for an out of town baseball tournament in Rantoul. Super close to downtown, cute college town, and felt like a safe neighborhood. The house was cute and spacious, with excellent bathrooms and comfortable beds. Would definitely stay here again!

Cozy home in historic neighborhood

Perfect home for U of I visit
Posted Nov. 23, 2023 on HomeAwayThis is a cute little home and looks just as in the pictures. We were 2 couples visiting our kids at U of I for parents’ weekend and wanted to stay together. This was the perfect option and so much more affordable compared to the exorbitant prices the hotels charge during visiting weekends. We had cars so being a couple miles from campus was no problem. When we had a question, Molly answered within minutes and was very helpful. We didn’t use the upstairs bedroom, but as described in other reviews, the stairs are very narrow and I wouldn’t recommend using that room for little kids, older people, or anyone with physical impairments. It’s a good option for teenagers and older probably but they still need to be careful! All in all though, I’d stay here again.

Not great old house with old house quirkiness and dangerous obstacles
Posted Oct. 22, 2023 on HomeAwayIt was difficult to find at night. You have to pull into an unmarked gravel alley and driveway that is in very bad shape. The outdoor lighting is poor and the deck steps are dangerous and need to be replaced. The sidewalk leading up to the house from the street is badly broken and there is no front yard lighting so getting dropped off by Uber is a potential accident if you don’t know about it. Had several issues with Uber finding the house also. We walked in to a very musty overpowering odor. We had to keep the windows open which made it hard to sleep. None of the bedroom or bathroom doors lock. The beds were very uncomfortable and one bed downstairs was unusually short. My feet hung off the end. The upstairs bedroom is really a converted attic that nobody should attempt to go up to. The stairs were precarious. So steep and unusually short / half the length of a normal stair tread. One of us had to turn around and come down backwards where the stairs turned the corner. We considered leaving early or finding another place but there was nothing available. It was decorated cute. They tried but it could not make up for some real issues
Comment from Hotel Management

Tracy, I am so sorry to hear all of these things. We have never had a single complaint about these items. If you look at our photos you will see a warning regarding the stairs and a caution as to the steepness. Beds are very comfortable according to all our previous guests, we have motion detection on all our back lights, the steps leading to the door are recently replaced, we have noise cancellation machines in all rooms to eliminate the road noise, and we have no control over the road to the house nor the signage. We do, however, give VERY detailed instructions if you would have read them.
We understand some guests you can not make happy but if you would have reached out at ANY point to us to notify us of any problems we could have worked with you. We are sorry you chose to not ask for improvements but rather hurt our business by a poor review. We have never received anything other than 5 star reviews in the 2 years of hosting so many lovely families. We hope our future guests will take this under consideration before hesitating to stay with us. We pride ourself in our guests leaving happy!
