August 2026

Needed a place to stay while visiting family and friends in Virden, Illinois. This was perfect. Didn't have to worry about finding a hotel 25 miles away and having to drive back and forth multiple times a day. Had lots of room to visit with everyone. We could go to a restaurant in town or cook for ourselves. Then we had space to sit and talk or do activities with my brothers' grandchildren. It was such a great choice. So glad I found it. Tried to pass on the word that it's available to so many folks. So many of us have moved away and need a place to stay when making a return trip.

The house is as shown in the photos. Decorated in a very old-fashioned style. It's special, and we just had to get used to it. Each room has its own color. It's different from anything else we've tried. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. And the hosts had provided snacks 😊
