We absolutely loved this place! Quiet and secluded yet close to everything we came to Mattoon for. Only a quick 10 minute drive to town and the Emerald Acres sports complex. One of the best VRBOs we have stayed in for quite some time. Looking forward to going back if we are playing in Mattoon next year!
Great place to stay enjoyed the layout of the house plenty of space if youre traveling with multiple people. Hosts were easy to communicate with check in was easy. Tucked away in the country peaceful and quiet.
