Betty's Place was the perfect spot for us on a recent campus visit to Bradley University. It is super close to campus in a quiet neighborhood and everything we needed was just a quick drive down the road. Jackie has managed to both keep the charm of the home's original era and provide a comfortable and cozy space to be when not out an about. It was immaculately clean and there were little, fun, personal touches throughout. Jackie clearly communicated all necessary information in a very timely manner and was an amazing host. We'd definitely stay again. If you're visiting campus, you can't beat this place!

This place was a great experience, back in time. The mid-century furniture collection and unchanged character of the house was just so cool. Hopefully we will get a chance to stay there again.
