Everything was amazing for a quick girls weekend! We loved the flexibility of all being able to read or watch a movie on the big couch, be outside by the fire pit, or lounge by the pool. It was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend!
This property was very nice! Very clean! The pool and hot tub worked great. The owners were very attentive to any messages I sent. Will definitely be staying again when the pool opens up! Thank you for a great local spot that felt like a getaway.
Welcoming spacious property packed with things to do for all! Kudos to our host as they absolutely thought of everything. Full kitchen and the most comfortable beds ever! Will definitely be back next time we are in the area!
We loved staying at this home while visiting the local college. Everything was close and it was very comfortable and clean. The host was also very nice and communication was excellent. Very prompt responses to all questions.
Best VRBO in central Illinois with a pool. I would definitely stay again. Its everything it says it is

Beautiful setting with a warmth of comfort!
All our needs were met and hope to try one of your other places soon! You do a great job with your extra details to make it special were appreciated. We would recommend this location to anyone for a nice little getaway!
The property was great. We were in Normal for a family reunion and the backyard of this property enabled us to gather and share family stories and history. The house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed our stay there.
The property was just as identified. It was homey, clean, and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable, and the Infinity Table was a hit for everyone—from 4 years old to adults!! The pool was wonderful during the hot days!
We spent a long weekend in this oasis! This property is beyond well-thought-out and the details noteworthy! From the moment you cross the threshold you're welcomed by modern design with comforting touches. Every inch is so cleverly designed and inviting, we didn't want to leave. We'll absolutely be making a return visit!
We had a wonderful time. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood, is nicely appointed and well maintained. We were lucky to have great summer weather to enjoy the pool and patio. The homeowner was very responsive. We highly recommend it and would definitely consider staying there again.

Daisy Oasis
We stayed at Daisy Lane for an extended stay while our home was under renovations. It was an amazing oasis! The kids loved the pool and we loved the hot tub. Kim is an amazing host who cares that you enjoy your stay. She always responded promptly. Thank you for your hospitality!
We were hoping for a relaxing long weekend. This is exactly what we received. We had no plans outside of the home but there was plenty to do at the home!
We definitely enjoyed our 3 night stay! Grandparents with two 4-year old granddaughters - Convenient to Miller Park with Zoo, Splash Pad and Playground & Children's Museum & Grocery Stores. Pool was clean and well maintained. We swam everyday! Shallow end was perfect depth for 4-year olds to swim without their floaties. Well stocked kitchen and generous living spaces were a major plus. High quality kitchen appliances. Will stay again if in the area! Thanks for a great stay!!
We very much enjoyed our stay at Daisy Lane. The house is cute, clean, and artfully decorated, and the back yard and pool are cozy and private. I appreciated the extra towels and blankets and little amenities like shampoo and cleaning supplies. We didn’t want for any of the basics! The host answered the few questions I had quickly and is personable and gracious. Thanks for curating such a lovely getaway spot! I would book again without any hesitation :)
This was a very cozy home is a quiet residential neighborhood. The home is very stylish, clean and well maintained. The backyard was exactly what we were looking for and I very much enjoyed a lazy Saturday floating in Kim's very clean and well maintained pool and then soaking in the hot tub. We also enjoyed the local farmer's market which I would recommend to anyone staying here on a summer Saturday that enjoys that type of thing. Kim was very communicative, responsive and easy to work with both leading up to and during our stay. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing stay in the area.
This beautiful, well-maintained home is nestled in a quiet neighborhood just close enough to town to have access to food, shopping, and the ISU campus but just far enough out that you don't feel like you're on fraternity row. We visited in October and thus didn't use the pool, but the outdoor space is absolutely beautiful and we spoke endlessly about how much fun the home would be in the summer, particularly for families. The host was friendly, responsive, and flexible. Overall, it was a great experience and we would definitely book this space again.
It was an awesome experience with well decorated vacation house. We enjoyed every each of the second during our stay. Everything was designed for our comfort. Kids loved game table. I found every tool that I need in the kitchen. Teapot, dinnerware.. were fancy. Everything was high quality. Since house has high ceiling, it feels spacious.
Firetable in the backyard was so good. Heat of the pool was so convenient. We really enjoyed our time in this house.
My family loved this property. It is one of the best places we have ever rented. The house is super clean and comfy. The backyard and pool are the highlight of this house in summer. We rented this place because of the pool and it did not disappoint. It is a clean and not overly chlorinated pool. The tools to keep the pool clean were easy to use. I recommend reading the guidebook it is super helpful. The beds are comfortable and the tv room is a homey nook to hang out in. Overall we really loved our stay. If you are bringing dogs you should know in advance they are not allowed on the furniture or in the pool which is pretty standard. There is also a rule that dogs are not allowed in the sleeping areas unless they are in crates/kennels you have to bring with you. If your dogs are the kind that have to sleep in your bed then this isn’t the house for you.
