We there only 2days for a volleyball tournament and it was exactly what we needed. Priced very affordable for a family of 4 when comparing it to hotel stays for 2 nights. The property was very clean and inviting.

This is my second time staying at the home and it’s been another lovely experience. It’s nice to have a cozy place to stay when i visit. The home is supplied with the basic utensils, towels, seasonings, and cleaning products. Everything is clean, organized, and the hosts are communicative and easy to get ahold of. The area is also quiet and friendly

We had a wonderful stay at this cozy home. The small home was super comfy and felt just right for our family, with everything we needed to relax after a busy day. It was really thoughtful of the hosts to have the driveway and sidewalk freshly shoveled—especially with the winter weather—making it easy and safe to come and go. The location was perfect, just a short drive to Emerald Acres for our sporting events. We especially appreciated all the little extras they provided, like plenty of coffee supplies, a ton of clean towels, and even condiments in the fridge. It made our trip feel extra welcoming and hassle-free. We would definitely stay again.

This house was perfect! Very clean, beautifully decorated and very cozy. So many nice extras. Because of bad weather we had to modify our stay and we were very grateful that the hosts were able to accommodate us. We would absolutely stay here again.

Mattoon Stay

House is in a quiet neighborhood yet conveniently close to everything, restaurants, grocery stores, and parks. It was clean and spacious and particularly enjoyed that every room had a ceiling fan. Large TVs were also a plus. Will be staying again in the future.

Great place to stay!

Everything about the stay from start to finish was convenient and the house was spotless! The affordable price made it much more economical for a family to stay versus a hotel. The main bedroom bed was unusually hard but the couch was very comfortable. Would recommend for sure!!
