About this property
Secluded 3-Bedroom Cedar Cabin less than five minutes from Marion's hub!
Welcome to The Grove, your ideal retreat in Marion, Illinois! Located at the west end of Marion, nestled in a serene wooded area, this cabin offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, being just under 5 minutes from the new Oasis Sports Complex and Kokopelli Golf Course, situated in the heart of Marion. The Grove is also less than 5 minutes away from Herrin, a neighboring town.
Accommodating up to six guests, The Grove features three cozy bedrooms, including two twin beds, a queen bed, and a king bed, ensuring a comfortable stay for families or couples looking to unwind. Each bedroom is thoughtfully equipped with a smart TV and ceiling fans for your convenience.
After a day of exploring, come back to relax in this peaceful setting. Enjoy the nearby Kokopelli Golf Course and the new Oasis Sports Complex (opening in the summer of 2025), both just minutes away. You'll also find a variety of dining options in the area, making it easy to sample the local flavors. Embrace the best of both worlds at The Grove—your home away from home!
The Grove is located on our families farmland. You may see us from time to time, bailing hay or working on the property to ensure it's in top shape. We are very careful not to disturb our guests and allow them to fully enjoy their stay!
Important Tips Before Your Stay
A set up package of 4 rolls of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towels, 4 dishwasher pods, and 4 Free and Clear laundry pods are provided for each booking. All sheets, blankets, comforters, pillowcases, and throw blankets are laundered with free and clear laundry detergent. All items, used or unused, are laundered every time the home is rented.
Parties or group events are strictly prohibited
Once your booking is accepted, we will send you a short-term rental agreement that is to be reviewed and signed within 24 hours of your accepted reservation. It is the renter's responsibility to ensure that all guests abide by the house polices outlined in the agreement.
The Grove has a strict no-smoking and vaping policy inside the home, on the porches, and near the home. There is a designated smoking location under the carport with a receptacle. The home is made of cedar, which easily soaks in smells, making future non-smoking guests' stays unpleasant. If you or your guests smoke or vape, there are several homes in the area with more lax smoking policies. Thank you.
***Please be aware that this property uses outdoor Ring Doorbells and outdoor Ring Floodlights for security purposes.

About the host
Hosted by Ryan and Melissa Farley
We are absolutely delighted that you’ve found The Grove! As a family of four who has a passion for traveling, hosting in our home, and cheering on Illini Football, it truly feels like a dream to share our space with you and your loved ones! Living just a minute away from The Grove, we cherish every moment we can spend on the property, especially when we aren’t busy with sports practices and games. With the proximity to the amazing new Oasis Sports Complex, our goal is to offer comfort and relaxation to families like ours who are seeking more space and amenities than you’ll find in a hotel. We can’t wait to welcome you!
Why they chose this property
This property is truly exceptional, beloved by us and its community in Crenshaw Crossing, a unique area of Marion with a famous history. While much of the land has been heavily stripped mined, including our own home, The Grove stands out as a precious gem. The original owners made a courageous decision to resist the advances of coal companies year after year, preserving this beautiful parcel of land which is home to hundreds of walnut and sycamore trees. The name, The Grove, came from these beautiful groupings of trees where many children, including our own, find themselves playing on and under.
Now, we have the privilege of carrying on that legacy. We acquired this property from another family, also passionate Illini fans, who had it in their family for several generations. The Grove offers a serene, secluded atmosphere that evokes the charm of a bygone era. Its simplicity is unparalleled, and we invite you to experience the magic of The Grove. We are confident you will appreciate it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique
If you’re like us and often on the move for sporting events, you know how exhausting hotel stays can be. That’s why we turned to VRBOs – they offer a perfect blend of comfort and space to unwind. And we take great pride in sharing this experience with other families!
Our property truly stands out, located just under four minutes from the vibrant heart of Marion, where you’ll find the Oasis Sports Complex, Kokopelli Golf course, shopping, and dining. Yet, despite this proximity, you'll feel blissfully secluded in nature. It’s truly the best of both worlds! Don’t miss out on creating unforgettable memories with us at The Grove!
