Perfect cozy getaway!

A friend and I and our sons (who are BFFs) booked this home as a little spring break getaway, to get our city kids out into nature. It was perfect. The area is beautiful, and the house is so charming. We spent time hiking in Giant City State Park and Shawnee, relaxing in the hot tub, and just enjoying our time together. The house is really nicely set up for a family or a small group. The boys, who are 10 and 11, were obsessed with the loft area. We enjoyed a gorgeous sunrise our last morning, and all the stars we could see both nights. The hosts were helpful and friendly. The beds were comfy, and the WiFi was speedy enough for what little screen time the boys needed. My son is already begging to go back, and with all the wineries and orchards nearby, I imagine we’ll be visiting again soon! Thank you!

Spring break Southern Illinois

Fantastic little cabin, perfect location for wineries and outdoor activities. If you've never been to the area you are missing out. Everything is exactly as described and our stay was excellent. It was great to find a pet friendly location, the fenced in back yard is an amazing feature for dog owners. We will definitely come back.

great location for us!

We stayed here previously but it was under different ownership. The new owners have done a great job of making it really comfortable. It was a perfect spot for us to visit family and have our own space close by.

Nice, private, cozy getaway for Valentine's Day Weekend. Very comfortable. And hot tubbing while it is snowing was a nice contrast, and a new experience.

Poor communication - Ended our stay early

As a quick summary - my fiancé and I planned a long weekend to celebrate my birthday and to do our annual planning. We’ve stayed before in 2022 and had a good stay but this one was just not it. Issues:- check in was Friday 1/10 on Wednesday 1/8 I hadn’t heard anything from the host so I reached out. I had concerns since area had lost power earlier that week and offered to reschedule if needed. Host confirmed all was fine. We did end up checking in a day early due to additional snow coming. - WiFi didn’t work at all. I told the host this 1/9 and had to reach out through 1/11 for updates. Having to continue to reach out, send pictures of router, etc was inconvenient. Also we would have rescheduled if we had known this was an issue upfront. -DVD player also didn’t work and we let the host know-ended up leaving 1/11 instead of our check out on Monday 1/13 because I was spending more time reaching out to the host and trying to fix the internet vs our plans. Let the host know and completed all check out duties prior to check out time. Didn’t hear from them until later that day. I did ask for a refund of remaining two nights due to wifi issues causing us to leave early. I hadn’t heard anything so reached out again on 1/24 and haven’t heard back.

20th anniversary getaway

This property was so cute and perfect for our anniversary. It's quiet and private, but not too far from the highway and attractions such as the wine trail and hiking. The owners responded quickly when I had questions. We will definitely consider coming back here and maybe even bringing our children, as their is enough space for all of us.
