You are close to a lively downtown area that has many great bars, restaurants and live music. The neighborhood is very quiet and inhabited by long term home owners who look out for each other. Our home is heated/cooled by central heating/air and boasts wonderful original hardwood floors throughout much of the home. There are 2 public golf courses locally: one in Urbana and one in Savoy out by the airport.

Summary: This is a great house! We stayed w/ another couple for the MI @ IL football game (they have a daughter at IL / we have a son at MI) … and it was the perfect spot! The living room and sunroom were PERFECT gathering spots for 4 ppl, and the kitchen was sooo nice for tailgate food prep (sizable and nicely renovated.) This house is also in a VERY nice neighborhood; tree-lined streets and lovely homes. Also had a lovely fenced in backyard. Lots of vintage charm in this old house which we loved. Highly recommend this property if you’re planning a Champaign wknd!

Summary: My family stayed in the Willis home Labor Day weekend for a wedding at the venue. We enjoyed the location - getting to & from ‘town’ The house was spacious enough for all 5 or us and wax stocked with everything needed for a weekend stay. Our only complaint is the box springs on both of the full size beds were extremely creaky! They should really be replaced to allow for a good nights sleep.

Summary: My sisters, my mother and daughter visited my other daughter at UofI for the week end. We had such a great time. Kitchen and porch were awesome places to gather and the dining table welcoming. We cooked together and just hung out this incredible house. A gem! My only recommendation is to install a key pad for entry.

Summary: This house is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and perfectly situated in a classic tree-lined Champaign neighborhood. It's a great place for a large group. The owner is very responsive and easy to work with. My only complaint is that it wasn't clear to us how expensive this place would be up front. With fees it ended up being $500 a night which is expensive for Champaign. But a great place overall!

Summary: This is a beautiful house in a lovely walkable neighborhood. The huge kitchen is gourmet and the dining room is a wonderful setting for a family meal. It was cold when we stayed but would love to enjoy the screened porch.

Summary: The property was a very peaceful stay. Owners were attentive and responded promptly throughout our stay. The neighborhood was nice and quiet as well. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Even though it was too cold to enjoy the sun deck, I’m sure it’s a treat in the summer months.
