I've been there twice - once in 2022 and once in 2024. On our first visit, we arrived at 5:30 PM and were greeted immediately at the door. The gentleman who met us (Brian), gave us a full tour of the historic house and grounds - and even played the piano for us! We enjoyed snacks and drinks right outside our room. We sat out on the covered porch on the side of the house and enjoyed the setting sun. In the morning, we were treated to a gourmet breakfast. We stayed in the Carl Vrooman suite; had 3 rooms. One was "standard", with a comfortable bed, the second was a sitting room with Carl's desk and a couch; then a separate bath with clawfoot tub. Everything was very "period". It was quiet, clean, and easy access to restaurants in Bloomington. We bounced a dinner idea off Brian and he heartily agreed - and it was great! Left at 9:00 the next morning, refreshed and happy. On our second visit - we tried the Rose Suite - and stayed for 2 nights. This had 2 rooms - a bedroom and separate bathroom with a clawfoot tub as well. It was quiet. We went mid-week and there was only one other couple there. Explored their library and sat in the sitting area by the fireplace by the front door. Highly recommend.
