Such a clean, nicely decorated place, perfect for two people. We were here for Olivet graduation, which was an easy, short drive from here. Also very close to Main Street shops & restaurants. A train track does run by this propertyâŠwhile not super loud, you can hear it while awake, but it did not bother our sleep.
This was our 2nd stay at this property. The home is clean and provided everything we needed for our one night stay. Ami is very accommodating. We look forward to our next visit.
We enjoyed our stay at this super cute and cozy place in a great town. It was nice and clean and just very inviting and cozy in a nice, safe neighborhood. Ami is always a really great host! We love staying at her properties. She is always very responsive to questions.
We were in Illinois for a baby shower. The house was perfect for our extended weekend. Plenty of tvs to keep everyone happy on a lazy day of vacation as well.
Great stay for Shoefest. Great neighborhood. Trains run behind the house on a regular basis but do not use their horn. Vegetation and trees cover the tracks and trains.
This was the second time we had stayed in this lovely home. It was clean and comfortable, close to the park to enjoy morning or evening walks. The only downside is the close proximity to the train tracks, so you might need earplugs. Other than that it is a very nice place.
Ami was such a pleasure to deal with! We had an emergency that required us to change our plans. Ami didn't hesitate to work with us. When we finally arrive, we couldn't have been happier with the rental unit. It was clean and well managed. It was like checking into a fine hotel. So, do yourself a favor and look for Ami's listings to rent. Thanks Again Ami!
It was exactly as the pictures and description showed. The train did wake us up at night, but we could go right back to sleep. It was perfect for what we needed.
My partner and I really enjoyed our stay here. Everything was in good shape, and the king beds in both rooms were great. (Ami assured us that the remarks about one of the beds in an earlier review were addressed.) We slept very comfortably there.
The neighborhood is clean and quiet, there's a grocery store and a number of dining options right in Manteno, and many more if you want to travel 10 minutes south. Having an enclosed garage was a nice plus.
There's a TV in every room, comfortable furniture, just a nice setting all around. And Ami was super helpful and quick to respond to a couple of perhaps unusual requests (such as needing a shower chair).
There are two things I think a potential guest should be aware of: The water pressure was not strong (better in the second bathroom due to the type of shower head).
And the trains. The tracks are out of sight but not that far off. There is tree coverage between them and the house, but I imagine the sound buffering is better in the summer than the winter/early spring. That said, while we noticed a couple of long, loud trains the first night, we grew accustomed to the sound after that and largely enjoyed hearing the occasional train roll by, day or night.
Photos do not show how spacious and updated this property is. Comfortable master bed. Quiet nice neighborhood but full disclosure it is near a train track but that did not bother us.
Host is thoughtful with coffee and some small snacks.
Wonderful property with all the amenities located in a quaint quiet neighborhood ... lots of privacy! Ami, our host, was very responsive to all requests. Highly recommended and would stay here again if in the area and unit is available.
Much nicer than the pictures on line. Very clean well maintained. 2 bathrooms a plus. French doors on 2nd bedroom are a great idea. Very classy. Kitchen had all upscale appliances and nice granite countertops.Pet friendly, great for your furry friend. Cleanest pet friendly we've ever stayed in. No evidence of previous pets. You have a beautiful home..ThankYou for hosting us. Frank and Pat Babiarz
This is a very cute home and well maintained and decorated. Itâs advertised as sleeping six people but only has two king beds. The other bed is an inflatable mattress which really thereâs no room for. It should be advertised as sleeping 4. The home is also near train tracks so we were awoken five or six times by trains during the night.
We are life long residents of the Manteno Area. We both have recently retired and have two children and five grandchildren. We love to travel and stay at VRBO's so much that we decided to turn the home into a VRBO in Manteno. Our main focus is to make your stay perfect! We rent our homes to be a relaxing oasis, stocked with all the comforts of home with special touches to make your stay memorable. Check us out and let us exceed your expectations! Questions?....just ask. We respond quickly.
This home was totally renovated with the idea of making this place an enjoyable place to get away. The home is equipped with modern appliances and new custom countertops and furniture. There is a 65' TV in the living room and a 55" TV in both bedrooms. If you need to use the washer and dryer you will enjoy the super quiet front loading LG washer and dryer. There is a near by park and walking paths in the area.
We offer a very comfortable place to stay, the beds are top of the line! You don't need to bring anything but groceries and cloths everything else is provided. We offer bikes to ride . If you need bikes just let us know and we will do our best and provide.
