How about a quiet get a way from the hustle and bustle of life? Or a place to kick back and relax while traveling across the country? Or even just a place to come with your friends and hang out for a few days? You’ve found the perfect spot! Located on 3.5 acres in the country within 10 minutes of Interestate 57. Conveniently located within 15 minutes of Rend Lake Resort and golfing. 10 minutes from the town of Benton and 3 minutes from Benton golf course. This spacious house comfortably sleeps 9. Cook you and your family a lovely meal in the fully equipped kitchen, relax in our spacious living rooms and enjoy a game with your buddies, then drop into our luxuriously soft beds and enjoy a comfy night of sleep!

there was a terrible mouse problem. No TV. soap dispenser in 1 shower empty of body wash and shampoo. No paper towels or napkins. Kitchen had no large plastic bowls. Everything else was fine, would stay there again if these issues were corrected.

I’m sorry for your experience… we try our best to correct any issues…. I will add that on the listing if people read before booking… that they will know right up front , there isn’t any tv… just WiFi!!! So that is a guest problem if they don’t pick that up… also I happen to know that there was shampoo and body wash in all the soap dispenser because we cleaned after these guests were out and we didn’t need to refill anything!!! But the problems they had that we can take care of… we definitely do our best to correct! These folks took good care of the place, but it’s your risk if you want to rent to them and risk getting this kind of review!!
good stay house #'s on street would have made it easier

Thanks for taking great care of Whitetail Acres! And thanks for the tip on putting house numbers out by street! We want to make it as easy as possible for guests. Come back when you can!
The home was wonderful! Extremely clean, spacious, and very inviting and comfortable. Communication with the owner was excellent. We had a great time relaxing with the family.

Great guests! We welcome them back anytime! Thank you!
We used this same property a year ago and it more than met our needs. We enjoyed the stay so much that we used it again for this year's adventure to Rend Lake. The remodeled patio and firepit were a nice and used improvement.
We really enjoyed the stay, lots of cute wildlife to watch and very serene. Plenty of activities for outdoor games here as well. While the town seems small there's just about everything you'd need in Benton.

Wonderful guests! Welcome them back anytime! Thank you!
Quiet, peaceful location. Lots of room for the kids to play both inside and outside. We made good use of the firewood and firepit. Really good value for the price. It was the perfect place to get together with family and watch the eclipse.

Thanks Cory and guests! Would love to have you back again when you can!
Family and two dogs traveled from Maryland to celebrate my Grandmother’s 90th birthday in DuQuoin. Perfect place for our family and dogs to unwind after a long drive. Very clean. Had everything we needed. I honestly do not know if there was a lakefront. We were on the move when we weren’t sleeping.
