About this property

The Happy, Hippie Homestead 3BRM Sleeps up to 10

Just minutes from the Mississippi riverfront and Burlington's Historic Downtown, this beautiful old home is spacious and perfect for hosting small intimate gatherings with family and friends. The main level boasts a LARGE, beautiful kitchen perfect for cooking and entertaining! But, our favorite part of this property, is our back deck and covered pergola. You will have access to the entire house during your stay, as well as a small portion of a fenced in yard to use for entry and exit. There’s a good chance you will see my husband and I working in the garden behind you depending upon what time of year you’re visiting us. You may also see our border collie dog named Desi running around in the backyard. Don’t worry, he’s friendly with all people and dogs, and does not have access to your portion of the yard or property. He just wants to say hi.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

This place is the best ever! It is so cozy and comfy. You feel right at home and we look forward to staying here later in the year when we come back to visit. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is amazing! Could maybe use some more utensils for cooking but overall I really don’t have any complaints! The gate is a little tricky late at night for the first time trying to figure it out with your hands full lol but that’s not a reason to not stay! The hosts are awesome and answer very quickly. I would only ask that maybe a cheap pad or notebook be placed somewhere for jotting notes. Having a tv in about every room was really nice. We really loved the stay.
Great family room to relax in
This kitchen is awesome to cook in
Comfortable place to eat together
We didn’t use this bedroom but it is nice looking

We were in town for my daughter’s wedding in Lomax,IL. Location was great. Just minutes from places to grab snacks and access highway to IL. The home is gorgeous! Very clean and the beds were comfortable. I will definitely be staying there again when I come up for an extended stay at my daughters.

Great property for a weekend away

This was such a home to stay at. Michelle's husband met us with a bunch of flowers to welcome us on Friday night. We spent a good time relaxing on the patio. The house had everything we needed for the weekend. Thank you again!

Returned to Burlington for a family funeral.

Happy hippie homestead was the comfort of home that we needed for this particular visit to Burlington. Michelle was wonderful with her communication, very quick responses and accommodating to our needs and timelines. We would definitely stay here again when returning to Burlington.

Cozy & comfortable Home away from Home

Michelle went over and above to make the home feel cozy and comfortable. We had an early holiday family gathering and she added touches of Christmas. That was delightful to find this when I went in the home. I loved the eclectic decor of the home as my eyes continued to find interesting and fun things to view. It really added to the coziness of the home. It was perfect for our family gathering. The kitchen was perfect for the food, there were even games for family fun. I can’t say enough about how special this stay was and how it was a dream come true to celebrate here with my family. We will be looking forward to another stay.
