Perfect!
This house is fabulous! It has vintage charm but is updated just enough so that it feels like home! It is impeccable clean, has plenty of room for a large group, is well stocked and the basement is amazing! With a pool table, ping pong and foosball, these is a lot for the kids to do! The downtown, adorable with cute shops and a grocery store, is minutes away. The owners are great, communicate quickly and were here to show us everything we needed to know about the house. We will stay here again when we come back to the area!
A wonderful location, in the heart of Amish country.
The house was clean and comfortable. It was quite quaint and very much a home with a lot of personal effects. The games room was excellent with ping pong, pool, darts and table football (foosball) which the kids loved, along with the wifi! The real star of the house is its location, a short walk to the town centre, Amish shops and restaurants. We loved Yoder's, a large Amish restaurant which was a great place to meet people. The whole town was very friendly. Tanya was extremely helpful and very responsive to any queries and met us when we arrived.
Overall we had a lovely stay for 2 nights and really enjoyed the house and location.
Christmas In Arthur
We rented this property for my family get together in Arthur, IL. There were 8 of us staying there. Tanya was right on time at 4pm to get us checked in. This place was amazing. We were all very comfortable there. The house was very clean and definitely kid friendly. I cannot say enough positives about our stay there. We will definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone who wishes to stay in Arthur, Illinois.
What a NICE place!!!!!
This was an excellent place to stay, and I would recommend it to anyone. The owners go out of their way to make sure that your stay is a great experience.
Great Sister/Girl Friend Weekend
My sisters and I (10 ladies) had a great weekend together here. House was clean. Everything you need for kitchen, bath and bedding.
