We enjoyed our stay at the Barndominium Farmhouse! The location was optimal for visiting the Shawnee National Forest, Cave-in -Rock, and the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail. The home had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and plenty of space for our pup to explore. Would definitely stay again!
We absolutely loved the stay the kids were about to fish and my son caught 3 fish (which we did release and he did not hold it) we all went hiking and enjoyed the silence outside. They were welcoming to oets i also loved reading the guest book of other familes experiences at the rental. When we got there the host had left christmas gifts for each of the kids and one for all the adults to share which as very generous and inviting.
Serenity and Solitude We went to relax, unwind, and enjoy. We did. We fished, enjoyed an evening fire under a full moon, and loved exploring the expansive property riding on the trails. The entire property is clean-No junk. Home is comfy. We thank the host for sharing the family home and history. It was wonderful.
Great location. Close to Garden of the Gods, Little Grand Canyon and Cave in Rock. Loved the land this farm house is on. The little diner in Golconda was awesome. Highly recommend this property if traveling to Southern Illinois.
We enjoyed our peaceful stay. The stars were spectacular, and the property was so much fun to explore. Would definitely stay again, it was easy to get the all the hiking areas.
Seeking a weekend getaway for my wife and I, as well as a place our dog to roam, this property was the perfect remedy. With acres of area onsite to explore, the awesome hosts have taken great care in providing everything a guest could need- from amenities to activities, both indoors & out, they've covered it all.When we weren't enjoying the property, we were mere minutes from exploring Golconda- (with special mentions for the museum and the Chocolate Factory!)- as well as some of the many attractions Shawnee Nat'l Forest offers- Lake Glendale, Lusk Creek, Garden of the Gods, to name a few. The only regret is that 3 days wasn't enough time, so we'll be returning soon!
Absolutely loved our stay! We had our two dogs who were able to run and play freely. We went hiking at nearby state parks and had amazing food. The location was great. The property was amazing, we even had a fire both nights. Thanks so much! We will definitely book again.
We enjoyed our stay as a family and enjoy the house with beig able to bring our dogs. Very comfortable place. Close to many things to do and places to eat.
This house was the perfect place for a family of 5 adults and a dog. It is a great home base from which to visit several locations in the Shawnee Forest.
We had an amazing time at the house. There is so much to do, and the setting is just beautiful. Being able to hike, fish, grill or just relax makes everyone happy! We'd love to come again.
