Great place for Girls Weekend
This was a perfect place for a girls weekend trip. The space was big enough to walk away and do your own thing if you wanted, and the open floor plan was great to socialize in during mealtimes. Great great place!

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because of charm of Southern Illinois. If you enjoy wineries, you can visit anyone of the 11 wineries nearby. For the nature lover, you can visit Giant City State Park or Ferne Clyffe State Park for some great hiking and beautiful rocks and waterfalls.

What makes this property unique

Everyone who stays here loves the beautiful views that overlook the 2.5 acre pond. With over 2,000 sq. ft. of outdoor deck space, its a great place for families to enjoy time together and create memories. For some, it's relaxing in the hot tub that's sitting on the deck with still the same views. If you like entertainment, you'll enjoy the game room with the pool table and the bar area.
