About this property

Sunflower Cottage

Convenient west-side location is less than one mile to the Scheel’s Sports Complex and within walking distance of biking/hiking trails. Great place to stay for sporting events, business work, traveling healthcare professionals, local events, or extended hospital care of a loved one.

This pet-friendly home has a backyard to corral your pups so you don't have to walk them unless you want to. House-trained pets that weigh 50 pounds or less are welcome.

This recently renovated home features comfortable queen-size beds in both bedrooms with Roku streaming TVs. The kitchen is fully-equipped for preparing meals; it includes a microwave, a griddle, both coffee pot and K-cup coffee maker, and a Brita filtered water pitcher. There's a charcoal grill in the backyard if you want to cook out. And a Pack’n’Play baby-bed is provided for your little ones to use, if needed. (The detached garage is not for use by our guests.)

Location is close to Scheel's Sports Complex, biking and hiking trails, hospitals, grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, shopping, highways, airport, Illinois State Fairgrounds, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and other local tourist sites.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
