In a world filled with iPads and cell phones, CCR allows you to relax outdoors for a couple days or a week if you so choose. (Don't worry, we provide high-speed wifi for all our guests!) We are only 15 minutes from rafting on the beautiful Illinois River offering you the chance to raft during the day and sleep here at night.
Bring your ATV's, RTV's, dirt bikes and more.

Families and groups both will love the ability to escape and spend time in the woods everyday while being able to sleep in comfort at night.
The sunrises and sunsets are to die for as you're immersed in total silence sitting almost a mile from the nearest road. Enjoy the pictures below. And for the ultimate experience, go stay in our "Haunted Cabin" for a night.Contact us today to book a weekend or a full week for your family to get away or a group of friends to spend a weekend.

Great place for our church group to have a nice retreat. Beds were very comfortable, place was very clean, and we are very likely to come again. Thanks!
Amazing facility with absolute beautiful land and top notch amenities! We had a group of men get together and study men’s ministry materials, rode ATVs and explored this beautiful ranch and had an amazing weekend!
Beautiful home in a great location. Huge open floor concept Barndaminium setting on the middle of 500 acres just waiting to be explored. Flowing creek water for swimming and fishing.
We were the first Group of people to stay at the property and boy was it nice! The owners worked their tails off on this place to get it looking nice and to have it ready for our stay. Would highly recommend this place to someone who loves the outdoors.

Thanks for the review Carter and for being our first guests! Hope to have you guys again next time. And we did decide to open it up for New Years if you are still interested!
We loved exploring the land and enjoyed the house very much. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed and more. There were plenty of towels and dishes and spices and all the things we needed. Our large family had such a wonderful time there for Christmas!
The Barndaminium was awesome with its open floor plan but still gave our family a feeling of closen.
We loved the Barndaminium. It was very warm and inviting for a large space. The interior decor was beautiful and homey feeling. The acreage around the property was perfect for walking, hiking and riding recreation vehicles. The winding creeks we’re awesome for relaxing in the cool spring waters. We would definitely recommend this property and will probably visit there again.
We LOVED this property. Out in the country so we didn't bother anyone with our music or late nights. Plenty of TP and towels which at a place this size is sometimes lacking. We hope that they will have us back. Group of 13 40-50 yr olds and it was PERFECT!
Fantastic place to explore the outdoors and have fun with a group
Communication with property owner was easy. The place was great inside and out. Plenty of options for outside cooking. We had a group of 14 guys. Most of us play disc golf. There was plenty of space outdoors to set up baskets and drive disc. The creek was a short hike away and had beautiful views. 10/10 would come back.
Crystal creek Ranch was great. The building was spacious and very comfortable. The trails were easy to walk and enjoy the out doors. All the appliances worked perfectly, and the kitchen was well stocked with pot, pans, knives, silverware, and dishes. The spice cabinet can in handy.
Thank you for making our retreat a success. The ladies want to return next year to one of your properties.
We have an amazing stay every time we stay here! It accommodates every need from space, to views, and distance to entertainment. We will never stay anywhere else when we come to visit and float the river! If i had to give a con...maybe supply ricks of wood for the firepit. We bought some from town so not a big deal but that really the only thing i could say if i had to say something 'bad' or recommended. Otherwise, we will be backevery year for many years to come! Thank you!!
It was great. Very well equipped.
Very spacious. Took time for details that made us feel like home. So many items provided. Even though we were well packed. They offered so much that all you need us clothes and food.
The hostess answered all my question in a very friendly way. He was quick to call us.
I will definitely stay there again. I actually regret not booking it work the entire week.

So glad y'all enjoyed your stay! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us! We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
We had an amazing time at Crystal Creek Ranch! We had a group of 20 which included 8 kids under 7! Adults and kids all had an absolute blast exploring the land by walking and riding go-Karts and ATVs! The house was exactly as described and had a fully stocked kitchen along with stocked toiletries for the entire stay. We’ve been to many different places over the years and this was by the far the best experience. The owners communicated very quickly with us from the day of booking until checking out. We were able to go shooting and chill by the bonfire all day everyday! The sunsets were to die for while the starry nights brought smiles to our kids faces while we enjoyed s’mores! If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway- this is a great place for that! We were able to see deer from the back porch and even found multiple antler shedding throughout the property!
Would 100% recommend this place to anyone and we plan to come back soon!

Ashley, so glad y'all had a great time! We look forward to hosting your group again!
Our group consisted of my wife and me, three children and their spouses, and 8 grandchildren. This is an annual summer event for us. We explored the creek, and the grandchildren explored the Haunted House. The Saturday tube float on the Illinois River was great! The barndominium was really nice, because everyone was able to see each other all of the time. We highly recommend this for any large group. Looking forward to our next stay here.

Steven, thank you so much for the great review! We're so glad your family was able to explore and enjoy the land. It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to have you back soon!
We enjoyed our small staff retreat at Crystal Creek Ranch! The spacious house was perfect for meetings with our team. We loved the functionality of the kitchen and living spaces and the bedrooms/bunk area were perfect for us! Also, the hosts were extremely easy to communicate with and very accommodating! We hope to go back next year!
We stayed at the Barndominium August 11-15. We had 6 adults and 3 children (11, 4 and newborn) We had the best time. The living area is beautiful, the kitchen is well stocked, and the owners were Great and very responsive! The land is beautiful. We brought our UTVs and spent every day exploring the trails and the creek. We also floated the Illinois River which was beautiful. Perfect place to stay if you love the outdoors!
