We had a great stay at this home. We traveled with three very young children including one baby and it was so perfect. Easy to get to great hiking spots and so nice to come home to and relax. We loved that our only neighbors were the horses.

Location was peaceful and private. Stayed to help move out our son from the dorm at SIU. Driveway big enough to accommodate our trucks and U-Haul. Home was clean. Pullout sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable and the other mattresses were very firm, but sufficient for a short stay. Deck , pool and swings would be fun for families with little kids. Good communication with host. Good value for the price. Would stay again.

Perfect stay!

This is a beautiful cottage that had everything we needed for a comfortable, relaxing weekend. From chairs at the fire pit to more than enough towels for showering and swimming, we couldnt ask for more. Drinking coffee on the deck or by the pond was so relaxing. Close to the Shawnee wine trail and other attractions.

Beautiful location!!

Very nice house, we loved the access to the pond- my husband and son spent so many hours catching and releasing. It was a rainy weekend for us but that's okay, the kids were still able to enjoy the pool! The house was perfect for all of us. Definitely recommend!
