Car or ride-sharing is the best way to get about. If you feel that driving a few miles to downtown or campus would be an inconvenience, please consider a booking a location closer to the city center. The cottage is bathed in natural light, including a large, vaulted skylight over the king-size bed. For light sleepers, a complimentary disposable sleep mask is provided as a courtesy. Our semi-rural setting comes with it's own set of sounds. While the nearby interstate access hums a familiar tone, the sounds you're most likely to take notice of will be of nature: the croaking of frogs, chirping of birds, pitter-pattering of rain on the skylight. We find our close proximity to town, combined with a natural setting, is why our guests decide to book and re-book with us again and again. You won't find a property like this any closer to Champaign-Urbana.
