There is absolutely nothing we would change ! Everything was perfect! This is truly a wonderful place to stay! We were very grateful for the car port to protect the cars from the falling nuts! The personal touches from the host family was unexpected and greatly appreciated! Love the fact that it is family owned and not corporate. Hope to return next year!

The check-in process was seamless and the house was extremely clean! Communication was easy if we needed something. We loved being on the property. We ended up seeing six wild turkeys, a groundhog and more deer than we could help. Information was readily available. The house was extremely comfortable and we would definitely stay there again next year highly recommend!

The cabin is lovely, welcoming, and pristine. The grounds are quiet and peaceful. Everything you need is there. As amazing as this cabin is, it’s the hosts that really put it over the top. They are helpful, generous, and very knowledgeable about the area and the attractions it offers. You can’t go wrong with this listing.

This was our second stay at this wonderful cabin in Marion, Illinois, and once again, it exceeded all expectations. The space is incredibly spacious, and we loved the wraparound porch, perfect for morning coffee and evening relaxation. The fire pit was a big highlight, where we made s’mores with the kids. The Blackstone griddle was fantastic, and the piano added a charming touch. The hostess provided everything we needed - pots, pans, cookware, crock pots, blenders, and all the amenities you could ask for. She even left balloons for a graduation we were celebrating, making it so personal. This truly felt like a home away from home. We will absolutely continue to visit every time we travel to the area. Highly recommend!

Nice and quiet

It was clean and the furniture was very comfy. The tvs in every room was also nice. It could use some extra blankets in the closet, and also maybe some outdoor seating around the fireplace outside.

I’ll begin by saying that this is by far one of the best rental experiences I’ve ever had. The hospitality and communication with the host was incredible! The extra “touches” of pride taken by them in their property were extremely impressive. Their precious daughter even left us welcoming basket with snacks and a beautiful little note. We were in town to seek housing for my son who is beginning medical school nearby. I have already decided that this will be my “go-to” residence when I’m in southern Illinois to visit! Thoroughly impressed!! The high ratings are definitely warranted.
