We really enjoyed our stay, great hospitality and a pleasure to work with. The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Hope to be able to stay again in the future
We really enjoyed staying in the farmhouse. It honestly took me back to my childhood staying at my grandparents farmhouse. The house was very clean and cozy and we will return our next trip to Illinois!
Property was very comfortable. Jackie was very attentive to our needs. It was colder than normal and she provided an extra heater which made the teno in the house warm and cozy. We will definatly be back if we need to stay again in Sparta.
House was like grandma moved out. Older but clean. Listing did show 2 queen beds in the living room but there were only a couple of standard couches. Not a big deal this time as there were only two of us.
Everything was just as we remembered. Cozy, warm and comfortable. Our 14 year old GSP has been here before and we knew when she walked in she felt right at home. We lost her sister just 2 months ago and it gave us peace of mind when we left her to hunt for a few hours. Thank you Jackie for letting us bring our girl AJ and for the cute toy you left for her!
