House was wonderful just what we had hoped for a 40year college reunion get together. Was spacious but intimate with dining and living room so close to each other. All bedrooms were well maintained and fans in all the closets (hot weekend).

This home is fantastic! It’s spacious, beautifully remodeled and decorated, and stocked with everything you could possibly need. Kenneth was great at communicating and clearly pays attention to all the little details that make guests feel comfortable, such as providing hangers, toiletries, kleenex, plush towels, and having an extremely well stocked kitchen. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

In for a Family Wedding

We traveled in for a family wedding. What a great location and home. 8 adults had plenty of room and a perfect gathering room upstairs and downstairs to enjoy our time. Close to campus activities and a safe community. Highly recommended

Family reunion

We rented Kenneth’s lovely home for my mother’s Celebration of Life. We had family coming from across the country and Kenneth’s home was perfect for us to all get together to reconnect. It was spacious and had several gathering places for all of us. We had 11 people, and it didn’t feel as though we were on top of one another. We would highly recommend this beautiful craftsman for larger groups. Thank you, Kenneth!

We were a group of ladies playing in a golf tournament at Champaigne Country Club, less than a mile away. We really enjoyed sitting on the front Porch and talking about our day. The house was perfect for us. We would definitely stay there again if we are ever back in Champaigne. The house had everything we needed, very clean an nicely updated. Kenneth was very responsive.

We really liked the house - beautiful woodwork. It was extremely well equipped. There were three couples so we didn’t use three of the six bedrooms. We loved the two washing machines and the two dryers. Plenty of dishes, silverware, and glasses in the kitchen. We loved the location as it was a three block walk to my brother’s house and the neighborhood I grew up in. We would love to stay here again on our next visit to Champaign.

Can't beat this rental property!

Great location, immaculately clean, unexpected amenities, extremely well equipped kitchen, beautifully decorated throughout, and loads of room. Off-street parking in the rear is a bonus. Just be sure to get guidance ahead of your stay as to how to reset the two thermostats as they are tricky.

Phenomenal large Champaign home

Can't say enough about our stay for a small family wedding at this 100 Craftsman home. Two group areas, one downstairs with a large TV (we watched the Masters -- yay for Rory!) and one upstairs. We loved the bedrooms, kitchen, large dining room . . . the decor. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better six bedroom house in Champaign. Thanks to Kenneth who communicated with us before and during the stay. You can see all the hard work he put into keeping this special house authentic, yet modernized and updated!
