This is quite possibly one of the BEST VRBO experiences we have ever had. The house was so lovely and well appointed. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs and the location to IWU was great. Donna was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We can't wait to return!

Not a good property for seniors!! No grab bars in the master bath and a very high bath tub. Low rider toilet and you canā€™t open the door without it running into the toilet. Mildew on the grout in the tub.ā˜¹ļø. Step from driveway to walk has no handrail and dangerous for elderly or handicapped.

Beautiful home!
The home, itself, is beautifully furnished with every ammenity you can imagine. Donna, our host, was very accommodating and quick to answer communications. The neighborhood was wonderful for many long walks we took; lots of big, historic homes that have been beautifully maintained. Very close to both college campuses. We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic stay!
Donna's house is beautiful and much larger than it looks from the outside. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and all of the beds and couches were really comfortable. There are also fun touches here and there like remote-controlled colored lighting and the PacMan game. It is also really easy to get to from the interstate. Donna is a fantastic communicator too. I only have great things to say about this house!

Perfect for a stress-free get away
I typically travel pretty heavy..blow dryer, snacks, pillows..I like to be prepared for anything. This cute cottage had EVERYTHING you could need, and then some! (The only way I wouldn't recommend this place is if you have a messy group - most of the bedding and furniture is white.) The location..perfect. the decor..chic, yet ultra comfy. Hot showers, and more than enough room for a group to feel like they have their own space. Owner put tons of thought into this one. ā˜†ā˜†ā˜†ā˜†ā˜†

The house is beautiful and was very clean and very comfortable. It's much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside and we had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and do their own thing or gather to do things together. We didn't have much chance to hang out in the back yard, but it's also large and lovely. Donna was great and there were lots of little extras that made us feel very welcome. For example, we arrived in the evening the first night, and she had left the lights on for us! Thank you, Donna! The next time we're in the area, we'll definitely book again!

Amazing stay
We stayed here for two nights for my sonā€™s wedding weekend,. It was the cutest and coziest little house, and we had plenty of room to spread out while still having our own privacy. All the bridesmaids (four of them) got ready and had hair and make up done in the house, and the photographer came and took first pictures with the bride and her father as well as the bridesmaids. The house is decorated so pretty that the pictures turned out fantastic. The location is perfect ā€“ close to everything yet quiet in a cute little neighborhood. Donna has paid great attention to detail in making her guests feel welcome, and we will definitely stay here again when we visit Bloomington!
