This was our 2nd stay here . Last year we spent most of our time touring Hannibal . Then we "discovered" Quincy ! This location is an easy 15 minute trip away from each town .The accommodations are furnished with everything one would require to enjoy their stay . The view out the picture window is magnificent ! Quiet, with a perfect grove of trees surrounding, this is your ideal place to stay !

Cozy & Peaceful

This was the perfect little home for our week long stay near Quincy! It had everything our family needed and was very cute and clean! Our son loved the large front yard. We were there in June so it was a treat watching the Fire Flies at night. When communicating with the host, they were very responsive and polite. If we ever find our way back to Quincy, we would love to stay there again!

Anniversary outing

This cottage was perfect for our 35th anniversary getaway. It was in a country setting right along the highway, with easy access.We found it roomy but cozy, clean and comfortable. We would recommend it to anyone, for a pleasant stay. We went to Quincy and Hannibal for restaurants, and enjoyed sightseeing along the river in both towns, strolling about watching the migratory birds in the very nice weather.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Wernowsky

The cottage was renovated in the spring of 2019. It was previously owned by our sweet, kind elderly neighbors who lived here their entire adult lives, until moving to a retirement home. We were their neighbors for 20 years.
We have always lived in the Quincy area; only moving away in the early 90s for a job transfer for two years but couldn’t wait to get back. We have been married for 40 years, raised 7 wonderful children and now enjoying 18 grandchildren. We have so enjoyed this area for the past 25 years and are excited for our guests to experience what the area has to offer!
Mark works in the financial business while Debbie is a homemaker. We most enjoy cooking together and having our children and grandchildren to our home to enjoy meals together.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is a secluded property just 1 mile from I-72. It's 12 miles from Quincy, IL; 10 miles from Hannibal, MO and right next door to Pointe D'Vine wedding venue and winery.
