Had a great stay there Mike the host was very nice easy to get along with and very helpful. It’s the second time that I’ve stayed there and I will be coming back.
The home is very comfortable for 7 adults. We enjoyed watching the deer in the backyard. We contacted the owner and they were very quick to respond. Can’t wait to stay here again.
Perfect for what we needed. Love the updates that have been done. The showers are amazing. Some old charm has been kept also. Really nice and close to my family.
This property was exactly as described-beautiful backyard, plenty of room for our whole family and very clean. We all felt at home, relaxed and secure. Owner is very friendly and very accommodating. Wish we could rate this as a perfect 10!
This place has everything you need in the kitchen. I bought alot of stuff like coffee sugar creamer
This place is beautiful very clean. Love the outside atmosphere. You seem deers turkeys very pretty. I will stay again if we decide to go to tend lake again.
Upon arrival, we had an issue with the refrigerator, but Mike had it resolved quickly...appreciated his quick response to any of our requests. The property met all of our needs. It was close to restaurants and a Walmart for necessities was located just a few miles from the house. It was clean and comfortable and very close to Rend Lake. There were five beds and enough room for everyone to sit comfortably in the living room. The kitchen provided what we needed. We will definitely stay her again.
We really enjoyed the property. It backed up to the woods. Visited by several family of deer, hawks and various species of birds. Peaceful sitting on the patio drinking coffee and unwinding. Near the lake and not far to wineries, restaurants and other sites. Don’t hesitate to book here. Great value.
Liked that the house was so close to the lake. It is a bit outdated, but had everything we needed. The privacy was great and the back yard, with deer, reminded us of hime.It was a challenge to turn around in the driveway with a boat in tow, but we managed by backing in from the main road, I didn't want to drive in the grass.Would stay here again.
My daughter’s wedding and reception venue were at the spillway recreation area and this house was only a half mile away. It worked out perfectly and the house was just the space we needed to get ready and be close by. Everything was as it is listed. Very happy with this rental and recommend to anyone that needs to stay close in that area.
We had a funeral in Sesser Illinois and it was only 10 minutes away from where our family is. There was 4 families that came and stayed with us. The kitchen is very spacious, the bathroom showers are amazing!! There is a table and chairs outside that we sat at and enjoyed a fire in the firepit enjoying the spacious yard that we watched quite a few deer roam through! Mike is a very nice host and was very helpful with anything we needed! Thanks again Mike for a place to enjoy some family time even if it was for a funeral was nice sitting around the campfire reminiscing !
