Cute little house, so nice to have more room than a typical hotel space. Older, but clean! Supportive comfortable mattress and pillows, slept well. Morning light was great for reading in the front room and hubby liked the large TV. Sweet owner left treats in the fridge and a nice card to welcome us. Just 10 min from WIU. We would stay there again!

The red house

We were pleased to find a location near family. We were disappointed in the interior condition. More extensive cleaning and upgrading needs to be done on the inside. The VRBO needs to be improved for a better quality of lodging.

A Very Positive Experience!

My recent stay at the Red House in Colchester, Illinois, was absolutely wonderful. The property was immaculately clean, well-maintained, and exuded a charming and cozy atmosphere. The house was fully equipped with all the amenities we needed, making it a perfect home away from home. The location was serene and peaceful, providing a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the Red House to anyone looking for a relaxing and delightful getaway in Colchester. We can't wait to return!
