About this property

Shallowbrook Farm: Where World-Record History Meets Private Luxury

Step onto the land where dreams became reality. Shallowbrook Farm isn’t just an estate; it’s a piece of Illinois history. In 1983, on this very soil and within these storied barns, the original owner raised the world-record-priced horse—a testament to the excellence and inspiring personal success rooted in this property. Shallowbrook offers grand accommodations & catering. Perfect for large-scale hosting, our expansive 10-bedroom manor comfortably sleeps your entire group with a layout designed for privacy, starting with the sleeping quarters. A versatile mix of 20+ beds and bedroom arrangements for all groups. We also offer "Privacy First" with almost every bedroom featuring its own attached bathroom. For our caterers, it includes a massive kitchen featuring commercial-capacity walk-in refrigeration and freezer space to easily accommodate large events and professional staff. A cozy family room anchored by a roaring fireplace, with three staircases throughout the home.

Shallowbrook is home to unmatched recreation & amenities. Whether you’re seeking high-energy competition or a poolside retreat, we offer a private resort experience. Starting with the lower level, we offer a massive recreational hub featuring pool, poker/cards, ping pong, and foosball. Exit the family room through sliding doors and take in the sparkling inground pool and a dedicated pool house stocked for summer fun. While in the poolhouse, grab your tennis racket and make your way to our professional-grade tennis and basketball courts, plus a volleyball net for friendly rivalry ;)

As the sun sets, enjoy the enormous backyard providing a stunning backdrop for outdoor weddings and milestone family reunions.

About the host

Hosted by McKenzie Stahl

Host profile image
Welcome! I’m McKenzie, and I am so excited to share this incredible estate with you. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to host guests at a manor with as much history as Shallowbrook, and I feel so grateful to do this as my full-time job. With 10 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, I know how important it is for large groups to have plenty of space to relax and reconnect.

I live within a few miles of the property, so I am always a quick text away for anything you might need. If you’d like a guided walkthrough of the estate when you arrive to see how everything works, I’m happy to stop by! Otherwise, I value your privacy and will leave you to enjoy your stay in peace. I’m honored to help you create memories in a place I love so much.
