Through the years my husband and I have been in some amazing B&B's. As he had other plans for the weekend, I decided a friend and I would look for a place to have "girl time." I spoke with Kate at the Vrooman Mansion and made reservations for one night. However; from the moment we entered the foyer was our... More

To walk through the front door of this home is to walk back in time. Once inside the entrance the beauty of the place makes a grand impression. The rooms live up to the lovely pictures posted on the website. One feels immediately that the owners of this home are working on a labor of love. It is easy to... More

I myself am an innkeeper and the vice president of the Illinois Bed and Breakfast Association. I mention this only to establish that I have a lot of experience with B & Bs from both sides of the relationship----host and guest. I had been wanting to stay at the Vrooman for quite some time---it had been highly recommended to me... More

My husband and I rented the mansion for our New Year's Eve wedding. We had our ceremony on New Year's Eve, then a brunch on New Year's Day. I am almost at a loss for words to describe how wonderful our experience here was. From the very beginning of our planning to the last minute we were in the house... More

We rented out the entire new carriage house at Vrooman for our wedding weekend. If you haven't seen it, it's a must see!! It was lovely. Kate was wonderful all weekend. The main suite in the carriage house is beyond 5 stars - pure luxury!!! Slate rain shower, copper soaking tub, king sized memory foam bed. Breakfast is great as... More

This place is a great alternative to hotels for business travel. I stay here every time I come to Bloomington for business, usually every other week. The best part of the B&B is the awesome breakfast they make every morning. Also I like the feel that I have access to the whole house (instead of just being stuck in a... More

We are relatively new to the B&B experience, so we were delighted to visit this stately, yet welcoming home! The extensive bookcases and gorgeous stained glass windows were impressive, but the extra small touches made it feel like home: snacks and sodas, fluffy robes, lovely linens. We enjoyed the tour and history that we were given of the home, but... More

As our family gathered with relatives and friends to celebrate the life of our mother, a former Hudson and Bloomington-Normal resident, we were looking for a facility that could help us host 40 guests for a warm and intimate gathering following Mother's interment service.

I was surprised that it was in the middle of a residential area - one where you would see no travelers around. The exterior looks just like it could be a part of the neighborhood - but the inside is magical. There is a lot of history that surrounds this house... you feel like you're back in the 19th century... More
