This is a great property for a large family. There is plenty of space inside and out! A pond with a ton of bluegill kept us busy during the day, and s'mores were enjoyed around the fire pit(s) at night. This is a beautiful area of IL and we can't wait to come back! Communication with the host was clear and timely. All around great property and time!
