About the host
Hosted by Donna Sumner
Hi - I have been married for 25 years and we have (4) kids. My oldest graduated from ISU and hoping the others will follow in her footsteps:). I have been with my employer for 25 years working in Legal/Compliance, yet my passion is "paint/decorating/shopping" and I really enjoy helping others in making their homes comfortable and welcoming ;)
Why they chose this property
Absolute great location, just 1/2 mile walk to Uptown and absolutely LOVE the house. Great for evening walks to dine, grab ice cream - or just people watch at the Circle in Uptown. For longer walks, the Constitution Trail is just blocks from the house and great for dog walking, biking, running and scenery. The house is over 100 years old with so much character and history, settled in a quaint neighborhood; very cozy, yet plenty of room for gatherings. Great atmosphere and scenery. Tranquility :)
What makes this property unique
There is an elementary school across the street from the house with a huge playground! Less than 1/2 mile from the house is The Constitution Trail (45 miles of trail for bikers/walkers that spans though Bloomington/Normal). Guest will have access to 4 cruiser bikes if wanting to explore! ISU and IWU are less than a mile away, and about 5 miles from the airport - great location!
