About the host
Hosted by Joshua Stunkel
My wife and I purchased the farmhouse from my family in 2017, after my grandmother passed away. No one else in the family wanted to buy it, and I couldn't bear to see it leave the family. We have spent two years renovating the property- driving most weekends from Chicago to Magnolia. The home is very special to us, and we are excited to share it!
Why they chose this property
We love spending time in our modern yet rustic farmhouse. We are equipped with WiFi, a hot tub, 20 walkable acres of forest, games, a fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of space for rest and relaxation!
The farm was owned by Josh's grandparents, who moved from Chicago to Magnolia in 1953. When Josh's grandmother passed away in 2016, Josh could not bear to see the farm leave the family. We purchased the farm a month after getting married, and rehabbed the farmhouse from Oct 2017-Oct 2019. The land is currently being used to farm hay, as we work to prepare the grounds for its original intent of organic farming.

What makes this property unique
We have installed a hot tub, which is perfect for relaxation. The forest surrounding the property provides great seclusion and peace. The Illinois River is about a 7 minute walk from the house and quick access by car, for those interested in canoeing, kayaking, or boating.
