We welcome you to leave the hustle behind and relax in privacy in a quaint neighborhood. Comfy chairs on the deck make for outdoor bliss with walks to nearby parks, and dog park, the Hennepin Canal, a historic graveyard, an open tennis court, and playground. Tiskilwa is classic, small-town America!
The space

About the host
Hosted by Joy Kauffman
I'm a mom, wife, and public health nutritionist. I lead an organization called FARM STEW. www.farmstew.org
Why they chose this property
I used to live down the street and always loved this home. I had deck envy when I would see the former residents enjoy quiet nights relaxing there! When it came up for sale during COVID, it allowed me to host my out-of-state relatives. I took out a mortgage and have never looked back. I love hosting and helping others enjoy and even discover Tiskilwa.
What makes this property unique
You'll love this place! Almost everyone has found it charming. It is a place to rejoice and rest! Our wonderful cleaners, Jeff and Jenny, are nearby to help!
