Vrooman Mansion B&B

Comfortable room with all the amenities. Fabulous breakfast. Friendly staff.

Amazing every visit

Everything

Beautiful accommodations and wonderful breakfast!

Unique and Historical Property. Would stay again.

This is a house that dates from 1869 that is kept in that style with lots of old time features, it has got sir con and modernish bathrooms., but if you want taking back in time this is a place to stay. The staff are great and the breakfast too.

It was amazing! This place is a hidden gem! I met a really nice couple there, they live 45 min away and never knew this place exists, so for them it was a short drive getaway. For me it was just perfect Mother’s Day gift to myself:) historical place, tastefully decorated to preserve the time when it was build, very quiet and green streets around. Very tasty breakfast ( the baked peach with cinnamon was just something!!!), I took it outside! Very nice owners, everything was more than I expected! Definitely will stay again!!!

What an amazing experience. Not just “a place to stay”. True beauty, history, elegance, and a glimpse into life sooo many years ago. Thankful that we get to be a part of this wonderful home! Thank you!! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful place to stay. Very vintage but comfortable. Nice location too. Noce restaurant near by.

What a lovely property! Great service, and the holiday decor was beautiful this time of year.

My stay at Vrooman was very positive overall. I was tired of the same old hotels and wanted to experience something new for the one night I would be in Bloomington, IL, And this place was so unique I wasn't disappointed. I stayed in the Masters Chambers, a beautiful huge bedroom with a detached personal bathroom. I appreciated the period accurate and historical decor In the room, as well as throughout the home. I also really enjoyed the breakfast the morning after. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful, and even though I hate mushrooms with a passion, I felt I had to give the mushroom souffle a try. And I'm glad I did! All in all, it's a great place to stay if you want something different. Staff was also very helpful and had great communication and dedication to problem solving even through a tiny issue I had during my stay. Would definitely stay again, and you should too!

Beautiful

Breakfast was amazing and even accommodated my gluten intolerance. Beautiful rooms!

We recieved a warm welcome and tour of the mansion upon arrival. Our beautiful room was enormous and we had a stylish antique bathroom located across the hall. Breakfast was amazing and we had wonderful conversation with the other guests. The piano downstairs can be played by anyone, and one of the couples were playing and singing, which my husband really enjoyed. Our stay was short, so we weren't able to explore the neighborhood as we would have liked. We would love to return and stay longer.

Unique place.

Beautiful, historic B&B. Warm welcome, amazing snack area and gourmet breakfast. Great hosts, highly recommend.

Family Owned - Very attentive and wonderful in general

Great place to stay! The history of the house is amazing and the staff is knowledgeable. Convenient to downtown Bloomington for dinner. The breakfast was delicious. We would definitely stay again.

Lots of windows to see the great garden around the house. Historic, well kept. Staff was so fantastic!

Lovely antique items all around. Well kept historical property! Friendly check in with tour, comfortable stay, and easy check out. Really a unique stay as opposed to an ordinary hotel. Thank you!

The property has a lot of History to it. And the owners are awesome people that put a lot of effort and time into keeping it a gorgeous place. Definitely worth a weekend getaway for a couple

Amazing all around once we stepped in for check in. Brian was amazing and the mansion is absolutely stunning

Incredible property - what a hidden gem! We enjoyed being immersed in history. The host gave us a history tour and prepared an amazing breakfasts

The greeting was pleasant and Welcoming.

A quick anniversary getaway to Julia’s room. The Christmas/holiday decorations throughout the mansion were beautiful, such a lovely time to visit! Breakfast was delicious, fruit cup, french toast, sweet potato frittata and thick cut bacon. We are local to the mansion and plan to enjoy stays in the future!

LIKED HOW WELCOME YOU FELT, THE ROOMS WERE GREAT FIXED UP NICE AND VERY CLEAN

My room had very nice tolietries, and a very comfortable bed with wonderful sheets and pillow cases. Breakfast was delicious, and was extra nice due to the other guests that I got to visit with.

Absolutely love the historic value of this property!

A beautiful mansion and bed & breakfast, gave us the tour and history, great friendly staff, a lovely breakfast, wonderful ambience! Definitely recommend!

Beautiful historic mansion. Staff most gracious. Incredible breakfast.

Clean and beautiful property. Everything was perfect and comfortable.

Beautiful and great good!

Enjoyed the tour from Brian who discussed the history of the mansion. Definitely will visit again.

Wonderfully authentic period antique furnishings that compliments the architecture of the mansion. Beautiful artwork and rugs. The breakfast was delicious and varied daily. Fabulous landscaping and big old fashioned porches. Definitely stay here again as it was terrific.

It is an old house so be ready for creaks, but that is part of the charm. Actually was very nice not to have a TV around. Internet is available though. Be ready to step back in time, but it's well worth it if you like that kind of thing! Would definitely recommend!

Staff very knowledgeable and friendly. Nice tour with the history of the mansion. Great breakfast

The mansion is gorgeous. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Everyone was so friendly, the breakfasts were delicious.

Food was great, staff were great. Room was unique

We love the historical ambiance down to the detail in every nook and crannie. We sat on the porch in the evening and met interesting people. Vrooman staff are caring and professional.

Beautiful historic property. Staff were phenomenal as was the breakfast. Bed was super comfy and loved the cushy robes provided. Definitely would stay again.

amazing time! such nice hosts. will be back!

The Vroom Mansion is a beautiful, stately home in Bloomington, IL. We were so very happy that we had the opportunity to spend the night there. The service, comfort and food were excellent, though I did have a problem with the “stuffiness,” old house smell that permeated the building.

It was amazing! Staff was friendly and able to tell about the rich history of the property. The bed was comfortable. Room temperature was perfect. The bathroom sink was hand made along with a lot of the woodwork throughout the property. When staying in the cottage you are able to park in the driveway off the street! They asked about food allergies and anything else we may have needed to enhance our stay! I highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful property and an amazing breakfast! Staff were so friendly.

Vrooman mansion was built in the late 1860's. It is in a quiet neighborhood which makes for relaxing evenings sitting out on the porch. The history of the mansion is really cool. The staff is fantastic and the breakfast is excellent.

Wonderful place with great staff. Almost like stepping back in time to experience a past era life style. Super!!!!! I’d stay there again.

The property is beautiful. Staff was wonderful and the breakfast was amazing. We definitely will be back again.

Great stay! Great staff

Great place?

We loved EVERYTHING! We held a workshop there and I was thrilled with the space, the service and attention to detail. Lori is a superstar - I'd steal her away if i could. The breakfasts were lucious. The history of the building adds depth. I look forward to staying there again.

The property and staff were just fabulous! Everything was very clean, warm and inviting. The breakfast the next morning was top notch! I highly recommend a stay at Vrooman Mansion B&B!

We loved everything

We had a wonderful time staying at the Vrooman Mansion. We were visiting for the weekend during Illinois Wesleyan’s homecoming, and everyone we spoke to was very jealous that we were staying at such a nice bed and breakfast while they were stuck in hotels! The entire property was beyond clean and well kept. What a beautiful piece of history to experience! Breakfast was absolutely delicious. Staff was very friendly. Text-line was a great way to get updates about our stay and get service. We will definitely be coming back!

Beautiful, full of history and luxurious

We were very happy with the Vrooman mansion. The staff were friendly and so attentive. Breakfasts were amazing. Pam, owner and chef, prepared breakfast daily for us and made sure her gourmet meals were consistent with our dietary preferences. The room was great. Bed was super comfy!! Plan to stay there again. Only small issue was weak internet. Great location for us as it was close to family, trails, and downtown.

We look forward to our next stay here 😊

This was like going back in time with all the modern day conveniences! Gorgeous home with many gathering rooms and snacks. The bathrooms were well equipped and you have use of a full refrigerator in the main floor. Breakfast was amazing, we were both gluten and dairy free and she made us an amazing Frittata with bacon, waffles, and a delicious fruit cup with the juice of your choice along with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or hot cider. Would love to go back and stay there again!

Amazing mansion in Bloomington took my breath away! This mansion is from the late 1800s but was very cozy and so clean, and upheld fabulously. Tons of antiques all over the mansion. The owners and person who checked us in were friendly. The guy who checked us in gave my friend and I a tour, it was like a history lesson, I loved it! So much character. I love that the owners kept it in great condition like the day it was built. The breakfast was very good and there’s even a snack closet! You’ll find candy in a lot of fun dishes around the mansion. Pillows were a little hard, and the old original toilet ran but not complaining.

Did not stay at VM, a medical issue prevented my spouse from flying. Neither VM or Hotels.com would work with me. So, I paid for the room but did not stay at the Vrooman Mansion.

It was a beautiful property. I didn't anticipate that there would only be a bathtub, no shower nor that the bed would be so small.

The staff is so warm and friendly. They really make guests feel like family! Highly recommend this beautiful property!!

Beautiful and unique property. Friendly staff. Wi-fi a little underpowered, but this place is outstanding.

This is a wonderful place for rest and relaxation!

Carriage house is a must stay to soak in all the work in crafting the space to experience

Beautiful historical restoration! Perfect setting for our family/friends gathering for memorial service.

This was such a quant bed and breakfast that I would highly recommend! We had a late check in and they were so accommodating. When we went downstairs for breakfast the next morning, she was so warm and welcoming to us and the breakfast was absolutely delicious severed with their specialties. Lots of history in this house.

This was our second stay at the Vrooman Mansion, a beautiful, historic home in Bloomington. The service Pam and Trisha provided was excellent, and the breakfasts were delicious. Everything was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The room was a little chilly the first night, and we found out the next day that a space heater could be provided since the heat via radiators is not controlled in each room. We would highly recommend the Vrooman Mansion and we will stay again.

Beautoful historic builing with a very friendly staff. Breakfast was tremendous.

Great property and very friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent.

Wonderful historic home with some modern amenities. I think we caught them in the middle of some renovation in our room but even with that it was still a great stay. Breakfast was excellent. Staff was very attentive to our needs. Thank you.

This is a lovely place to stay - cozy yet with more privacy than many BnBs. We'll make this our go-to place to stay in Bloomington.

The staff and breakfast we're perfect. The mansion was too cool. The beds could be upgraded. The only odd thing was when we checked out we knew we would have to pay $15 for breakfast for my daughter. She stayed in our room on the sleeper sofa. We did let them know and was not told that there would be a $20 charge. And they also charged $20 for her breakfast after they said it was $15. So no big deal... I'm just saying. With all that said I would go back.

A place to stay with character, charm, and of food. Very easy to check in and out and have a very comfortable stay.

First time at this B&B. The room was large and bright. We appreciated the TV was in a separate room from ours, it was more relaxing without TV. Our breakfast was delicious. Several times we went for a walk through the neighborhood and found it very walk-able. The staff was very friendly. We would stay here again if passing this way.

We stayed at the Mansion during ISU graduation weekend. The Mansion is delightful, the breakfasts are superb; my husband is celiac, & they adapted everything to gluten free for him. Floors are all old wood, so a bit squeaky, but beautifully decorated; a lovely weekend.

Everything at the Vrooman Mansion was top-notch! All the staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the mansion. The style of the accommodations was in keeping with the period (late 1800's), but still had all the modern conveniences, including free internet access and USB charging ports. The breakfast was incredibly delicious; the staff even called before our stay to ask about dietary preferences/restrictions. When they learned I was gluten free, they made out-of-this-world gluten free pancakes from scratch just for me! Awesome place for honeymoon, anniversary, or just a weekend getaway. They also host weddings and other special events. Would definitely stay again; highly recommended!!

Full of grace and charm. Such a wonderful historic building. Staff is excellent! Would highly recommend.

Beautiful and amazing building and an amazing breakfast. I like it a lot.

I expected it to be beautiful based on the photos, however, never expected the environment I walked into. It was extraordinary. There was not a detail missed (up to and including the wonderful organic soaps and lotions provided). The sheets smelled like lavender; the robe was the softest I had ever been in. The free snacks, coffee, and water were a wonderful convenience. Then there was the breakfast; baked pear with sour cream, bacon, fresh fruit, blackberry pancakes, a beautiful fritata, juice, water, and incredible coffee. As if this wasn't enough, a player piano played wonderful music as I was dining. I have never heard the Beatles on a player piano ... it was incredible. The staff were friendly and sooooooooooooooo accommodating! I went in advance of my meeting to relax, and that I did!

We stayed at the Vrooman B&B for our 50th anniversary. We had a very enjoyable, relaxing, awesome stay at this magnificent gorgeous mansion. The history was so interesting. The rooms are beautiful and decorated for the period, amazing. Tricia and Sarah were so nice, pleasant, courteous and helpful. They pampered us with a delicious breakfast by candle light and the grand piano playing. Very clean! We would highly recommend a stay .

There's not much going on in Bloomington, but, the Vrooman Mansion was an absolute home away from home. The staff was the most friendly, the house is stunningly beautiful, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious too. I travel for work often and will without a doubt stay here each time I am in Bloomington.

Easy check in, Awesome breakfast, Great Staff at the mansion, Room was perfect, clean and comfortable

If you love history or antiques, this is the place for you! Be prepared this is a "period" mansion and if the unique wooden, claw foot tub and water closet is not your cup of tea and you prefer modern "hi end" appliances, I suggest going elsewhere. The mansion is absolutely beautiful and the service exceptional. A tour was given and the information quite fascinating, we were encouraged to explore on our own as well. We were provided a variety of beverage and snack and breakfast the next morning was wonderful. Loved it! Again though, if you don't like creaky floors and no TV in your room (there is one in sitting room), I suggest you look for the standard motel.

We enjoyed our stay and want to return

The Vrooman is a delight! Beautiful accommodations, and a friendly, knowledgeable staff.

It was awesome!. Beautiful place, great location, and friendly staff

Great B&B in an old Historic Mansion, Breakfast was excellent and the staff was very attentive. Coffee machine extra snacks and small chocolates available to the guests. Walking distance to downtown wonderful museum in the old court house nearby. Large porch to sit out on and relax. Definitely would recommend it and would stay here again.

My sister and I stayed here as a stopping point on our way to see the eclipse. The mansion is gorgeous! We got a complete tour when we checked in and loved our pretty room.

Beautiful mansion in a quiet community, within walking distance of restaurants and the Castle Theater. The service was great, as was the breakfast, and the rooms were very comfortable.

We all had a wonderful weekend at the beautiful mansion. The festival was great, breakfasts were delicious, the weather beautiful and we felt relaxed and pampered at Vrooman mansion. I even got engaged there. We can't wait until next year.

Words cannot fully describe the experience of staying in this museum of a house. It is so different than a hotel or resort; it is a step back in time to the luxury of turn of the 20th century - but luckily with air conditioning!. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay. It felt like staying in a museum. The history behind the mansion was really neat. The room we stayed in (rose room) did not have a tv which was a little different, but there is a common room with a tv you can use. Very happy with our stay.

Beautiful rooms, fantastic history, delicious breakfast, pleasant and courteous staff. Will definitely return!

Awsum B&B. Felt like we were at a time machine/museum/mansion! Staff was outstanding & Breakfast was fantastic! Bed was very comfortable - really cool experience!

We celebrated our first wedding anniversary at this gorgeous bed and breakfast. We got a tour of the mansion and the carriage house and every room is beautiful and wonderfully restored. We stayed in the carriage house - very private and well-appointed. Breakfast was delicious in a lovely room. Thank you for a comfortable and memorable stay!

This gorgeously outfitters mansion complete with a player piano serenading our breakfast with Elton John tunes was a most pleasant surprise. The history of the house is interesting, the design and architecture makes every vantage interesting. Sitting on a quiet street without a street light made for one of the most peaceful night sleeps I've had in a while. The breakfast of vegetarian frittatas and French toast was perfect. Excellent service, excellent stay the whole way round. We're already planning our return.

We stayed at this magnificent mansion turned bed and breakfast for our anniversary. It was so clean and authentically decorated to boot! The service was beyond helpful and so nice. The price was wonderful even with a package added. Definitely give this place a chance to sweep you off of your feet.
