I would like to start of by saying that Gina and Lee were great. They stayed in contact with me from the moment I booked the cozy little two bedroom cottage.The home was right next to historic Route 66 just like they said. I asked for recommendations for things to see and do and that gave me many options for a great couple of days with my three kids. The home was clean and everything was as described in the description. The kids and I will definitely look to stay again when we return. Also not a terrible ride to get into Chicago either. The home was close to everything we needed.
