My family and I LOVED this property. Perfectly located with private and scenic views. We had such a relaxing and serene stay. The house was beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully stocked with kitchen and bathroom amenities. We had everything we needed and more! Communication with the owners was pleasant and efficient. We highly recommend this property and plan to go back!
Beautiful home with gorgeous surroundings. Very secluded. It does say 5 bathrooms but we only saw 2.5. The home was stocked with everything needed and owners were kind and courteous.
I contacted Sarah about hosting a backyard wedding here, and she was so nice, replied quickly, and was very accommodating! We were in a pinch as our previous location had flooded (twice!) and were searching for alternative options. Needless to say, I made the right choice as this location was a dream that had everything we needed and was just beautiful. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and enjoy the beautiful pond and grounds, plenty of parking. The house was stocked with all the basics. We couldn't have asked for a better location that suited our needs and made our special day (and weekend!) that much more awesome. Everyone was happy to be there and remarked about how much they enjoyed spending time with us there and preferred it over more formal wedding celebrations. Truly a gem tucked into the Illinois countryside. Highly recommend!
