Wonderful place for spring break trip with three teens and a dog. Property is huge, with a beautiful large creek just a short hike down the hill, cow pastures, and a clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked house. Lexie does an amazing job caring for the home and their guests. We’ve been taking similar trips for spring breaks for 8 years and this is our favorite spot yet!

Was very pleased with everything. One note the entrance road is long and gravel that had been recently graded and was soft. We were in trucks so it was not a problem for us.

This is the place to be! Lexie was fantastic! She went above and beyond. We rented the house and side building for our son's rehearsal dinner. She helped to coordinate decorations and hair for the wedding. Very clean and peaceful. She had everything you might forget in the bathrooms. Excellent communication. If you are looking for something for a family event,etc. this is the place! They are also pet friendly. Thank you again for being the perfect host.

It was away from it all. We loved sitting on the porch. Our labs loved napping on the porch, and exploring and swimming in the creek. We loved it and would love to come back sometime. They provided everything you could possibly need and then some.

We love this place. It is so peaceful and relaxing. The phone works in spots if you need it. The dogs ran to exhaustion. The creek was up and the trees were beautiful. The house has everything you could need. I love the baskets in the bathroom (anything and everything) love them.

About the host

Hosted by Lexie

Host profile image
We are from Metropolis, IL. I originally grew up in Pope County. My husband is a school teacher at Massac County High School. I quit my job of 8 years to start cleaning up the farm. I love meeting new people and having people come enjoy the place is most dear to my heart.

Why they chose this property

This patch of land is where my grandpa and great grandmother were both born. It has been in our family for many generations. In 1999, grandpa had this cabin put out here. This cabin is what we call his "happy place". Grandpa was always working or doing something, but out here, he was just happy and relaxed. This is where me and my siblings would spend our time during the summer. Grandpa passed away in February 2014. It has been very hard for any of us to come back here after he passed away. I'm ashamed that it has grown up this much, but we have been working diligently to get it back to what I would call "grandpas standards". I love this piece of land and I have created so many good memories back here. I am excited that we have opened it up for people to do the same.
