Summary: House is cozy and charming and has been updated and decorated very nicely. Kitchen has full supplies and a thoughtful snack basket was provided. Was perfect for our family for an overnight stay while in town for an event.

Summary: Communication was great! The house was easy to get into and had the space we need. Although I read there was a basement door, you don’t realize the impact until you are there. I would say the equivalent of staying in a hotel where half of your family is in the nice room and half are on the next floor. We were all adults, so it was ok, but it was an inconvenience to need to walk around to the front of the house late at night or early in the morning when everyone was asleep because the back sliding door does not have an electronic keypad. If a keypad was added to the sliding door, that would be a big win!

Summary: Used this place as a home studio for my photography business and it was absolutely perfect! Donna has this place decorated so cute and you can totally tell she stay's on top of keeping it clean. Communication was great! I'd love to book it again!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay at the Timeless Charming Bungalow. Donna is a great host and was very quick to answer any questions, before and during our visit. To our surprise, the house was decked out for Christmas, making the already cute property even more cozy. The home is well stocked with everything you could possibly need, extra blankets, pillows, towels etc. Very conveniently located just blocks from the ISU campus.

Summary: This is an older home that has been beautifully renovated. It truly is charming. The owner was available to communicate with us as needed and sent a man over to shovel following a brief but heavy snowfall. Getting in and out was so easy, I recommend it highly

Summary: The house itself was very cute (but small rooms) and very heavily decorated. The only drawback was the 3rd bedroom, extra bathroom and sofa sleeper room was in a locked basement below the main house. This area wa super cold and was not called out in the listing. We feel this was "missed opportunity in the actual listing. Basically a bait and switch.

Summary: My hubby and I stayed here with our fellow Redbird parents (total of 4 adults) for ISU's homecoming weekend and it was absolutely perfect. Check in was super easy, communication with the host Donna was excellent. She really goes above and beyond to make her guests feel right at home. Everything listed was exactly as promised. Situated right between ISU and IWU, so whether you're there to visit your Redbird or Titan, you're in a great location. We will definitely book this again. Thank you Donna for being such a great host! Highly recommend.
