Fantastic family weekend

We rented both sides of the duplex and it made for a fabulous family weekend. We had people coming from multiple states and having 6 bedrooms and various living spaces meant we were able to enjoy our time together with less stress. The units are both really nicely decorated with amazing retro decor. We had everything we needed, including lots of games for game nights. Would definitely stay again!

Such a nice place to stay. So clean. The details of the themed decor add to this property’s charm.

We enjoyed our stay. I really appreciated the detailed instructions posted near the Keurig machine. Also appreciated that the light switches were labeled. Such a charming and deceptively spacious place.

Perfect for our needs

5 adults and 4 kids and we fit perfectly in the house. Loved the little playroom. Our extended family stayed on the other side of the duplex and it was so nice to have easy access to each other.

Great house. Very clean. Cute decor. Extra sheets (for the couch) and more extra towels would have been nice. Downstairs couch does not fold into a bed, you simply push the stools out and sleep sideways, which works for kids, but not what we were expecting. The third bedroom downstairs is private. Ample kitchen to make breakfast and a quick spaghetti dinner. Second time in this rental and we hope to be back when our daughters play in future hockey tournaments. Easy, quick access to the rink, but the neighborhood was also decent.

Girls Weekend

My cousins and I (ages 36-43) had a fantastic weekend away at this lovely spot. We enjoyed being able to be together and enjoy our time as people instead of partners and moms! The house was adorable and impeccably clean. It was a great location for a quick jaunt to downtown for lunch. Sara, our host, was responsive and accommodating. We are already giving great consideration to staying here again for our weekend next year!

Back to the Future

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!
