1st stay in Bloomington/ Normal

We visited the area to adopt a puppy from Pet Central Helps in Normal (awesome facility). The house is a charming historical property; centrally located within minutes of restaurants, shopping and puppy location. The temps were freezing, so, we mainly stayed indoors. Comfortable and room to spread out. Both bedrooms are upstairs which could be a problem for someone with mobility issues, but not a problem for us. Stairs are wide and have a carpeted runner. Carly was quick to respond and very hospitable. Overall, a comfortable stay with everything we needed. We’d stay there again.

We needed a place to stay while our home was being renovated. Carly has an amazing house and was super easy to work with and made it easy on us. We only needed 3.5 days and she was very amenable to our needs. Highly recommend

Graduation weekend

We loved this house! The space was perfect for our family and had everything we needed. The upstairs bathroom is newly redone the sink was worked on before we got there and did have a little problem draining, but Carly was very accommodating and it got resolved. The beds were extremely comfortable. It was nice to have shampoo/body wash in the shower and some basic spices, coffee filters and paper goods stocked in the house. The only downfall is that we probably won’t have an opportunity to stay here again an our daughter graduated from ISU. 😊

Cozy but …

Cute house, charmingly decorated. Modernized appropriately. Some small issues: towel bar came off wall, shower leaked into laundry room on first floor, Sink in upstairs bathroom would not drain, some window shades wouldn’t open, no manual for house (still don’t know how to turn on ceiling fans in main bedroom). Also, dark paint on many walls with filament light bulbs meant insufficient lighting. All of these the owner is addressing, which is all one could ask. We hope to be back again.

Convenient Cute and Clean

The location was great for our needs and pet friendly! Felt safe walking our dog in the neighborhood at night. Older home has been updated, the new shower was awesome, great pressure! The half bath on the main floor was a bonus. Comfortable bed and furniture. Responsive host, we possibly needed to extend our stay. Initially that was not an option, when it became available, she let me know straight away.
