About this property
Luxurious 2 Bdrm Creekside Deckhouse Retreat
Cozy new construction on your own creek, like glamping but with all the amenities! Minutes from wine trails, Giant City State Park, lakes and SIU! Open floor plan, gourmet kitchen, top of the line appliances, spa like bathroom, designer lighting. Oversized covered deck adds additional living and chilling space. Bedrooms include adjustable beds and dimmable touch lamps with charging stations. You may just want to stay on the property and chill! Check out the photos to see more! Read our reviews! So close to everything but so removed from the hustle and bustle! FYI, we have an exterior camera that monitors the driveway and steps leading to the home. February and March are my personal favorite months for hiking and outdoor activities! Cool and crisp, the many rock formations are exposed and bonfires add the perfect ending to a day outdoors!

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ann Pontarelli

We met in Southern Illinois and decided to return once we found this gorgeous and secluded property. Immediately upon moving, we began construction for our second property and it was finished in mid 2023. We couldn't be more pleased with the way it turned out. Intimate and cozy but feels spacious with 16 foot ceilings. We love sharing this magical property with our guests. It offers wildlife, many bird species and peace and quiet. Our creek runs directly behind the property and can be babbling or rushing depending on our rain.
Why they chose this property
What we love about this property is the quiet and peacefullness. We are truly alone, not a neighbor in sight, although we can be at the grocery store or Starbucks in 13 minutes. It truly is a staycation for us and we want to share it with our guests.
What makes this property unique
We have our own creek and we spared no expense in the design and materials of our property. With years of decorating experience, second hand shops and an eye for the unusual, our rental will feel like you're in a home with many special touches. Many items have been in our own homes throughout the years. Our location and proximity to hiking, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and town is unusual to find. That's why we live here.
