Graduation weekend

My 93 year old father, my brother and adult children all gathered for my son's graduation from ISU. It is a charming older house with many squeaky floors. We enjoyed the screened in patio and breeze. The weather was beautiful, and the location was great. Short distance from everything. Highly recommend.

Clean!

The home was very clean. We did not travel with a pet but this was obviously a pet friendly property. The floors are very creaky as it is an older home. The location was good for visiting local friends and restaurants.

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.
