Fantastic breakfast, funny innkeeper! Lots of history in the house to peruse. My husband and I came down just for one night to get away from the city. (We live in Chicago). I'm not a big cook, so we want to come back for the delish breakfasts alone!!!

My husband and I stayed at the Vrooman Mansion for our wedding anniversary. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The mansion is beautiful--especially when it's decorated for Christmas--and we felt like royalty! The breakfast was delicious and lovingly prepared, even though we were the only couple booked that night. The mansion has an interesting history behind it. The original owners were patriots and philanthropists whose memory deserves to be kept alive. Be sure to stay at this fabulous bed-and-breakfast the next time you are in Bloomington, Illinois!

Just blocks away from my old college apartment was a gem of the prairie. The Vrooman Mansion delivered everything the pictures promised -- Victorian elegance, hostoric prominence, a breakfast beyond compare, and a great place to relax for the evening. The Vrooman is not that far from my home, but its elegance is worlds away.
Great B&B

For a quick and relatively unplanned getaway after a long week at work, my boyfriend and I took off for Bloomington-Normal for some badly needed R and R. The Vrooman Mansion was recommended by a friend. The staff was amazingly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful and pulled out all the stops in making our stay as comfortable, romantic, and relaxing as they could have. From greeting us by name to arranging for massages in our room to a magnificent breakfast in bed to permitting late check-out, the Vrooman staff was top notch. The mansion itself was breathtaking -- filled with history, luxury, and stories. There is no doubt we will be back again and feel lucky this diamond is located just an hour away. We highly recommend this to any others finding themselves anywhere in downstate Illinois or needing a getaway. What a gem!
