Everything about this house was perfect for Illini Family Day. We had a group of 14 and this home accommodated us all and was fully equipped with everything we needed for the weekend. The hosts are very responsive and clear with the check-in and check-out process.We will definitely be booking again!
We hosted a joint bachelor/bachelorette party at this home and it worked perfect for us. We utilized the kitchen to cook and used the pool. It is very close to Champaign which was very nice to find restaurants. Communication was great. Great place to stay.

We would have been happier to pay more to get more. The property felt like we were staying in a run down frat house.There were many broken and in disrepair facets to our stay. The carpet was in terrible shape along with missing light bulbs . There weren't as many chairs, kitchen dishes, utensils and glassware to accommodate our party of 10. The house advertises it accompdates 16. Every one enjoyed the patio and Fire pit and over all the great space for accommodating our family and friends
Good space but an older home that hasn’t been well cared for. Personal items in many cabinets etc. those should be gone or locked up.( out young children had access to medicine etc.

Thank you for the feedback. We were surprised to hear the concern about personal items and medicine, as the home was recently remodeled and personal belongings were removed from the property. We take any potential safety concern seriously, and are double-checking all cabinets and storage areas to ensure nothing was inadvertently left behind or accessible.
We appreciate you bringing the concern to our attention.
We had a great stay at this VRBO. The property had plenty of beds and space for our group, was very clean, and had a nice setting that made it easy to relax. Its location close to Urbana was very convenient as well. There were a few minor hiccups during our stay, but nothing that significantly impacted our experience. Overall, we enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend it to others.
House was perfect for our stay on homecoming weekend. Plenty of room for everyone and just a short drive to campus. Communication with the host was great!

A rental should be more than just a roof over our heads. It should be clean, reasonably equipped, and furnished with pieces that are intact and comfortable to use.This house was not that. The furniture was worn and dirty enough that we did not want to sit on it without a blanket. Closets, the garage, the pantry, and the cabinets were filled with the owners’ leftover belongings and debris. One of the kitchen cabinet doors was missing, and the fronts of few drawers were falling off. The carpet was unraveling in places and a rug on the stairs was covering damage to the wood surface. The outdoor grill was dirty. The track of the sliding glass door to the backyard was packed with filth. One pan still had solidified grease in it. The bottom of the pool was scattered with hundreds of dead worms. The towels were ratty.The garage was especially cluttered: an old box spring, broken chairs, a wadded-up pool cover, and three dog crates. It looked as if the owners had downsized and left most of their things behind, doing only the bare minimum to put the house on the rental market.We weren’t asking for the moon - we just expected a clean, usable home. This experience has greatly shaken our confidence in renting another property in the future.

Thank you for your feedback. We take cleanliness seriously and have a professional cleaning team that provides photos after every turnover. We acknowledge that some storage areas could be better organized and are addressing those concerns. Regarding the pool, recent rainfall likely contributed to the issue, which we would have gladly resolved had we been notified. We wish you had reached out during your stay, as we’re always happy to address concerns promptly. We appreciate the feedback and will continue improving the property for future guests.
Very nice home with lots of amenities! The pool was perfect for cooling off after a day of golf. Several nice options in the "game room". We didn't do any cooking but it looks like the kitchen was well equipped for those that do. Very pretty location with the lake behind the home and pool. Would highly recommend!
Big house, lots of space, beds, and fun. Great they accepted dogs and had a fenced in yard. Kids didt want to stop swimming in the pool. Communication was good even when the pool turned green for a couple days. House could use a little love, but worked for us
The house fit out family, it just needs to be cleaned. The house smelled like animal pee, I have animals but the smell was overbearing. I had to go to get some plugins. Other than that we enjoyed the place

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad to hear that the house fit your family and that you enjoyed your stay. I take cleanliness very seriously, and I wish you had reached out during your stay so I could have addressed any concerns right away. I personally inspect the property before each guest’s arrival and have never encountered any odor issues, but I’ll be sure to check with my cleaning team to ensure everything is up to standard. I appreciate your input and hope to host you again in the future!

Lots of issues - indoor and outdoor cleanliness, pool functionality, damaged furniture, peeling paint and wallpaper, un-lockable doors between garage and house, etc.This house has great potential (ample indoor and outdoor space, close to U of I's campus, etc.), but I would not recommend it in its current shape.On the plus side, the owner did refund us our last night, as we didn't stay, given the multitude of issues.
The house was beautiful but needs some updating the wallpaper is pealing off there is a fowl odor in all the downstairs area kind of like cat urine. It was kind of clean but there where dead and alive bugs in the cabinets and the worse part of the trip was wanting to use the jacuzzi tub but i filled it up turned it on and a much nasty brown amd black flakes started spewing out of the jets. There is so much calcium built up in the showers that it had poor water pressure. But the house was huge had plenty of towels and space.

Thanks for your feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed the space, towels, and overall size of the home. We’re sorry to hear about some of the issues you ran into. We always encourage guests to reach out during their stay so we can take care of anything right away.
We’re currently addressing the wallpaper, the odor downstairs, and the jacuzzi tub to ensure a better experience for future guests. Our cleaning team does a thorough check before every stay, so the mention of bugs was unexpected, but we’ll be double-checking that moving forward as well.
We appreciate your input—it helps us continue improving the home since we are newer to hosting!
Prior to our stay, the house host was very good about communicating and answering questions. This house had plenty of room for our group, and the kitchen and living room areas were perfect for hanging out. The house is older and in need of many little repairs. The house is also “pet friendly” although we did not have any pets with us, there were three large dog crates in the laundry room and may be perfect for people with dogs - the house also has evidence of pets living there (like clawed up spots on some curtains and some scratched up woodwork). We had an issue with a toilet overflowing and had to use all of the towels to dry up the water on the floor and the house host came right away with more towels and was very helpful. The pool and backyard overlooking a small lake are nice and would be a great perk for a summer stay.

Property in bad shape and was very uncomfortable
We came into town for a sporting event through the weekend. The hotels were all sold out and we found what we thought was a great alternative with this place. The property smells like lots of animals live there. Almost all of the furniture has been shredded in some way by animals. The upstairs was over 82 degrees while the downstairs was 64 degrees. My family didn't really sleep at all. The mattresses/pillows were VERY stained. There is more that was bad but I'll stop there.We were so uncomfortable we left after one night even though we had already paid for multiple nights. After informing the owner of all this she stated it was normal for a "pet friendly" home. Steer clear of this place!

I’m sorry your stay wasn’t what you expected. We do our best to provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space, and I appreciate your feedback.
As a pet-friendly home, some normal wear is expected, but we always ensure the space is clean and ready for guests. The temperature difference between floors is something I make sure the guests are aware about, along with thermostat recommendations to help regulate it.
When you reached out about your concerns, I responded quickly and offered a partial refund as a goodwill gesture. While I understand you were still disappointed, I truly wish we could have found a solution that worked better for you. We take all feedback seriously and are already addressing the small maintenance items you mentioned.
We’ve had many happy guests and work hard to provide a great experience for all. Wishing you the best in your travels!
Pool was lovely. Had a glitch with the air in the middle of our stay but the host was wonderful to work with and very responsive. Continued checking on us throughout the day and night. Property has some areas that need updated but good experience overall.
Great communication, plenty of space and all the things needed. Easy location to find and access to everything we traveled to. Sheets a little thread bare and holes in them.
We had a great stay. The home is accurately advertised, very spacious, and has plenty of room for a large family or multiple people. There was some normal wear and tear, and it could use a few upgrades, but overall it was perfect for a two-night stay. The pool was great with plenty of space for lounging and relaxing. The owner was fantastic with communication, and the minor issues we had were addressed right away. Thanks for a great stay!
