The cottage was absolutely beautiful and very cozy!! Check in was at 4:00 and a breeze to get in. It was clean and the hot tub was a great bonus!! We loved our stay. We toured the Cross of Peace around the corner from us, enjoyed the Alto winery and Orchards. Lots to do in a small town. We rode our bicycles one evening and loved looking at the countryside. Great little getaway for us. Thanks for being great hosts.

Spring break Southern Illinois

Fantastic little cabin, perfect location for wineries and outdoor activities. If you've never been to the area you are missing out. Everything is exactly as described and our stay was excellent. It was great to find a pet friendly location, the fenced in back yard is an amazing feature for dog owners. We will definitely come back.

January weekend

Had a great two night stay at this property. Quiet location and hot tub were highlights. The house was great for two people, but could easily fit another two kids in beds and another two in the loft area, which they would love. We're excited to visit this property again soon.
