Don't Hesitate!
My husband and I called this property home for two weeks while visiting friends in the area. It was well-stocked to meet your every need and extremely comfortable. Communication with the owner was outstanding when resolving a few minor problems. Would not hesitate to stay here again!

Wedding in Champaign
House worked well for our needs. Clean updated kitchen and air conditioning worked great despite temp outdoors in the 90s. Clean bathrooms.There were coffee grounds available which we appreciated. Quiet neighborhood, ten minutes from the downtown wedding Venue. Master Bed could be firmer and larger but not terrible. 2nd bath and breezeway sunroom which was the entry to house had a musty smell but was fine in rest of house, some weeds growing from gutters and a lot of dust on ceiling fan in bedroom so we kept it off. Could not figure out how to adjust volume on TV. Would stay again.
