This is quite possibly one of the BEST VRBO experiences we have ever had. The house was so lovely and well appointed. The fenced in yard was perfect for our dogs and the location to IWU was great. Donna was incredibly responsive and accommodating. We can't wait to return!

The neighborhood was wonderful for many long walks we took; lots of big, historic homes that have been beautifully maintained. Very close to both college campuses. We'll definitely be back!
