Had a fantastic stay for our 17th Annual Golf Trip!! Couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing environment. We enjoyed the spacious layout, large living room and the screened in porch. Highly recommend you take some time away from the busy life and enjoy a long weekend at this place.

If you are wanting to experience a charming farmhouse in the middle of beautiful rural Illinois, this is it. There is definitely enough space for a couple families to stay there. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, showers were great! TV speakers didn't work well so you are listening to everything out of the TV speakers, but we weren't watching TV very much. There is wifi, but service around the property is spotty at times - but we loved that! We like disconnecting.

Great stay!

A very farmhouse experience - older home with a bit more bugs than usual in the summer, but set up with a lot of care and a well stocked kitchen. Easy communication with owners. We had a great stay for a family weekend. Close drive to Starved Rock.

Ladies retreat

We had a lovely stay. Close proximity to Starved Rock State Park which we enjoyed. Home has everything you need and a lot of cute extras. We spent a lot of time out on the deck with string lights, a wonderful spot to enjoy conversation, music and merriment. Thank you.

Nice getaway

Home is well set up for families with small children. There are toys, games, and dishes for toddlers and kids. Our ages ranged from 7 months - 64 and we all were able to relax and enjoy the outdoors and time spent with each other inside. Hosts are very helpful.

Exceptional atmosphere

We chose this property for our family vacation due to our family size, the privacy, and because it was about a halfway point between the three states we were all coming from. The atmosphere of the home impressed us immediately upon arrival and we enjoyed the cozy setup and amenities! We were able to spend the nights around the fire, playing board games in the large living area, and spent the days in nature and exploring Starved Rock State Park. Lovely stay! We highly recommend it! Josh & Anna did a wonderful job!

Amazing place!

My book club and I stayed at the property for our Annual trip. It was a Blast the beach was less then 5 mins from us, and the fire place was so much fun to roast Smores off. The trails brought us closer to wild life although there was a family of groundhogs that you could watch right out side the windows!! The only downside for us was there was alot of bugs inside the house, as Country people ourselves we were use to the bugs outside but inside was a struggle. As a group we think we would come back and try this place in the winter when there isnt bugs bc the property was ASTOUNDING!

Great place for a family getaway

The home has a very well-equipped kitchen with all kinds of pots, pans, appliances, etc and also things like salt, pepper, and spices. There is a full washer/dryer. We appreciated teh owners providing laundry detergent pods and dishwasher pods. There are 3 full bathrooms, although two are downstairs. There are 5 bedrooms (4 upstairs and 1 downstairs). There are several different living areas to hang out. We didn't use the outdoor features, but there is patio furniture, a screened porch, and a hot tub, and there are also lots of games. Overall, this was a very convenient place to house our large family.

H & H Farmhouse

A perfect get away for our family! There was plenty to do for everyone and anyone. The inside and outside of the home were well equipped and places marked with what was accessible. It had such a homey, cozy feeling. We also enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area and all the wildlife we saw! Josh and Anna were prompt to address any questions. They are fantastic hosts!

Clean, modern, and cozy.

Had a great stay with two families. Big kitchen with everything you need. Fun exploring local small towns, pumpkin patch, and starved rock.
