We had an 8 hour drive from KCMO & went to attend a ceremony honoring our son SFC Cody Cosner at the "Forgotten Warrior Memorial". When we arrived the lights were on & the home was clean & comfy. After the long drive & emotionally draining day, it was a perfect place to rest our tired bones. The owner has really made every effort to welcome you with little treats & a kitchen that had more than any ABNB I've stayed at. Communication was prompt & everything looked just like the pictures. Also pet friendly & accommodating. Thank you!

I would like to start of by saying that Gina and Lee were great. They stayed in contact with me from the moment I booked the cozy little two bedroom cottage.The home was right next to historic Route 66 just like they said. I asked for recommendations for things to see and do and that gave me many options for a great couple of days with my three kids. The home was clean and everything was as described in the description. The kids and I will definitely look to stay again when we return. Also not a terrible ride to get into Chicago either. The home was close to everything we needed.

Lovely, cozy little home in a nice little Illinois town - what more could you want? Nice amenities, nice bedrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and wouldn't hesitate to book again the next time we find ourselves in the south burbs.

Located in a nice, safe neighborhood. The home was very clean, beds comfortable, shower pressure and water temperature perfect. Plenty of towels, washcloths and blankets. Gina was a pleasure to deal with! Wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
