What a beautiful gem of a house! I loved the different tiers of space. 3 living areas was perfect. The beds were super comfy and the back yard was so peaceful. Coming from the city with airplanes, L train, and highway noise, this was just a dream come true. We moved our son into ISU without a kink, and being so close to campus was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again.

Spacious and welcoming

We had a wonderful time at Donna’s property. The house is close enough to campus but still tucked away on a quiet street. There’s tons of room and available amenities. The backyard is large and beautiful. The kids spent most of their time outdoors running free. Communication with the host was fast and helpful. Highly recommend staying here.

Absolutely wonderful

We arrived a little earlier than check in time, I messaged Donna and I was able to check in early. The house is beautiful, the decorating was amazing. It was clean and cozy has everything you need. We use Vrbo at least four times a year in different locations. This was the best Vrbo house we’ve ever stayed in. We will definitely be back.

We chose Donna's home for a birthday party where we needed room for more people than I wanted in my own home. The house is so cute and was perfect for the party. Donna was extremely helpful and accommodating. We will hopefully use this home again in the future.
