Top Notch
Sheba Queen was a perfect location to the event we were attending. It was convenient to food and gas and the house was exactly what we needed. Small with ALL the amenities we could ask for. It was clean and very comfortable, which after a very long day of sitting through the NPC Mid-America Winter Classic, we appreciated! We highly recommend this home if staying in the Bloomington-Normal area! Definitely 5 stars all around!

Great place for families!
We were in town for homecoming weekend and I was thrilled to find this VRBO near campus and downtown. It was spacious and we were able to fit a pack n play in both bedrooms. The AC worked well and having a full kitchen, large table, and washer and dryer accessible was really convenient for our family. The host was easy to communicate with and even went the extra mile to ship us back a baby monitor we forgot.

Great place for us to stay while visiting our daughter at ISU. Close to campus but away from the noise. Very clean and cool historic home. Owner was great to communicate with and even left some snacks for our arrival with a personalized note.

I really appreciate the little things that make a stay so much better, like coffee/creamer/water, stocked kitchen and bathrooms, and surprise extras in a treat basket. I appreciate not needing to purchase or bring items when traveling light. The rental was cute, clean, quiet, and super comfortable. Easy parking, convenient location. Loved the plants and aesthetic. Great wifi, tv, and airconditioning. The host was very nice and super responsive. We travel to Bloomington a couple times a year from Colorado becuase my daugher attends IWU and this is our new favorite place to stay!

Charming house
We came in for the Illinois Shakespeare Festival, and stayed in this quaint and charming home. We did a lot of front porch sitting. Host was easy to reach and very accommodating. Short walk to the trail. Great visit ❤️

Wonderfully small
The house itself was a mixture of classic with modern style decorations and furniture. Check-in was extremely easy as well as checkout. The house was extremely organized and clean. There were tags on the cabinets to label the items inside, with an array of spices and cooking equipment. There was crisp air conditioning, it was wonderful, especially because of the heat. We loved the house in general. The only uncontrollable part was the slightly eerie feeling about the neighborhood, but we never felt unsafe.

For one of us coming from Milwaukee and one of us coming from St. Lohis, this was a great place to meet and hang out for a night. The unit is cute, comfortable, and super clean, for a great price. We look forward to coming back sometime!

It was nice, but the sound deadening was lacking a bit. We could hear the people upstairs, and im sure they probably could hear us.

Comfortable and sweet
We weren’t there long, just an overnight on our way south but the accommodations were comfortable with very reasonable rates! So much better than a hotel.I liked that she had tags on all the kitchen cabinets so it wasn’t necessary to hunt through them all to find what you needed. Our hostess was very helpful and responsive.
