Phenomenal large Champaign home

Can't say enough about our stay for a small family wedding at this 100 Craftsman home. Two group areas, one downstairs with a large TV (we watched the Masters -- yay for Rory!) and one upstairs. We loved the bedrooms, kitchen, large dining room . . . the decor. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better six bedroom house in Champaign. Thanks to Kenneth who communicated with us before and during the stay. You can see all the hard work he put into keeping this special house authentic, yet modernized and updated!

In for a Family Wedding

We traveled in for a family wedding. What a great location and home. 8 adults had plenty of room and a perfect gathering room upstairs and downstairs to enjoy our time. Close to campus activities and a safe community. Highly recommended

Even better in person!

This house really has everything you need. Stayed here for a bachelorette party with 6 others and we all had a great time. Plenty of space, lovely kitchen and dining area, cute enclosed patio, and so many bedrooms! Plus, the basement was really great for our movie night. Good amount of space for parking and very close to downtown area as well. Definitely would recommend staying here to anyone!

Cozy NYE

Had a seamless check-in, upon entry the home is even more spacious than in the photographs. With three families, we all had our own bedrooms on each floor with coordinating bathrooms - which is rare and appreciated. We brought lots of gadgets for making a large dinner but the Kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of plates/bowls/tools/etc. In a great area close to shops and grocery stores - plenty of doordash options, too, if that's the vibe.

Wedding weekend.

We stayed here the weekend of our son’s wedding. Everything was perfect. House was in a cute neighborhood close to lots of restaurants and shops. Very clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of room to spread out and the large tv and couch downstairs were awesome for my 15 year old daughter and her friend. Beds were super comfy and house was nicely decorated. House had lots of character. Great communication from host. Would definitely stay here again.

Clean, spacious good location

Our group of 10 adults stayed two nights for a Univ of Illinois football game. Beautiful place. Clean and comfortable. Walked to the corner bakery for breakfast foods. Drove 5 minutes to bars and restaurants. Easy drive to campus for tailgating. Well equipped kitchen with new appliances. Clean updated bathrooms. Plenty of seating for meals and just hanging out. Also plenty of parking. We had 4 large vehicles and fit with no problem. Highly recommended.
