Anniversary getaway
A quick anniversary getaway to Julia’s room. The Christmas/holiday decorations throughout the mansion were beautiful, such a lovely time to visit! Breakfast was delicious, fruit cup, french toast, sweet potato frittata and thick cut bacon. We are local to the mansion and plan to enjoy stays in the future!

Peaceful Getaway!
This is a beautiful old mansion in a residential neighborhood well cared for and full of history. The owners and staff were great and the breakfast was very excellent. It is an old house so be ready for creaks, but that is part of the charm. Actually was very nice not to have a TV around. Internet is available though. Be ready to step back in time, but it's well worth it if you like that kind of thing! Would definitely recommend!

Stately mansion in Bloomington, IL
The Vroom Mansion is a beautiful, stately home in Bloomington, IL. We were so very happy that we had the opportunity to spend the night there. The service, comfort and food were excellent, though I did have a problem with the “stuffiness,” old house smell that permeated the building.

Thank you so much for choosing to spend the night with us. We're so thankful that you enjoyed the breakfast as well as all of the other details we were able to provide for your stay! Hot summers in Illinois do have a way of making air outdoors and indoors a bit stuffy (especially in a home built in 1869), but hopefully the air conditioners made a comfortable difference. We'd love to have you back in the spring or fall when the spring blooms and fall leaves waft through every space. Have a wonderful rest of your summer!

Sleep in peace
It was amazing! Staff was friendly and able to tell about the rich history of the property. The bed was comfortable. Room temperature was perfect. The bathroom sink was hand made along with a lot of the woodwork throughout the property. When staying in the cottage you are able to park in the driveway off the street! They asked about food allergies and anything else we may have needed to enhance our stay! I highly recommend staying here.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Vrooman Mansion. We were visiting for the weekend during Illinois Wesleyan’s homecoming, and everyone we spoke to was very jealous that we were staying at such a nice bed and breakfast while they were stuck in hotels! The entire property was beyond clean and well kept. What a beautiful piece of history to experience! Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Staff was very friendly. Text-line was a great way to get updates about our stay and get service. We will definitely be coming back!

It means a lot to our staff to know that the work we do to keep the history, beauty, and breakfast memorable, all makes a difference, and helps you make new memories at the same time. You should tell your friends that with 7 rooms on the property, many of you could all stay here together for the next Homecoming, so no one has to be "stuck" anywhere else again! Then you can create your own historic moments together :-) Thank you again!
