Wow, what a quaint little place. The space was immaculately clean with everything in its place and easily accessible. There were cool tearaway maps of the local areas. We traveled far and wide around Southern Illinois. The locals were also especially kind and helpful. Though, just wandering the property was so special. We saw so many different kinds of birds and animals. Frequent frolicking deer and cranes hunting in the pond. The horses were also near at some point. Just magical. I'm a quilter, and I loved all the hangings in the space. I forgot to get a picture of the butterfly motif hanging in the bathroom. I'll remember it fondly. The home is just on a road, but there is little to no traffic, so there wasn't much noise from that. One of our mornings there was lawncare, which was startling, but I get it! There is plentyyyy of space to have some alone time, even if you go with the whole family. Had a lot of fun. Thank you!

Great place to stay. My buddies and I hunted for the weekend and it was exactly what we were looking for. Will definitely be back in the future!
