Welcome to The Grove, your ideal retreat in Marion, Illinois! Located at the west end of Marion, nestled in a serene wooded area, this cabin offers the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, being just under 5 minutes from the new Oasis Sports Complex and Kokopelli Golf Course, situated in the heart of Marion. The Grove is also less than 5 minutes away from Herrin, a neighboring town. SIU University is also less than a 20 minute drive, making this location perfect for our guests!
Accommodating up to six guests, The Grove features three cozy bedrooms, including two twin beds, a queen bed, and a king bed, ensuring a comfortable stay for families or couples looking to unwind. Each bedroom is thoughtfully equipped with a smart TV and ceiling fans for your convenience.

You'll also find a variety of dining options in the area, making it easy to sample the local flavors. Embrace the best of both worlds at The Grove—your home away from home!
The Grove is located on our families farmland. You may see us from time to time, bailing hay or working on the property to ensure it's in top shape. We are very careful not to disturb our guests and allow them to fully enjoy their stay! Important Tips Before Your Stay
A set up package of 4 rolls of toilet paper, 1 roll of paper towels, 4 dishwasher pods, and 4 Free and Clear laundry pods are provided for each booking. All sheets, blankets, comforters, pillowcases, and throw blankets are laundered with free and clear laundry detergent. All items, used or unused, are laundered every time the home is rented.
Once your booking is accepted, we will send you a short-term rental agreement that is to be reviewed and signed within 24 hours of your accepted reservation. It is the renter's responsibility to ensure that all guests abide by the house polices outlined in the agreement.
The Grove has a strict no-smoking and vaping policy inside the home, on the porches, and near the home. There is a designated smoking location under the carport with a receptacle. The home is made of cedar, which easily soaks in smells, making future non-smoking guests' stays unpleasant. If you or your guests smoke or vape, there are several homes in the area with more lax smoking policies. Thank you.

The host were amazing people, the location was perfect for our needs and the environment was tranquil and quiet. While we live 5 hours away we will make plans to come back just to stay here. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend!
Our second time staying at this location and it never disappoints! Super clean, simple coordinations, and the host have incredible attention to detail! Amazing location!
Had a wonderful stay with my family at this beautiful cabin! Melissa was great at communicating. She made us feel welcomed and comfortable at the cabin. The cabin was very cozy and clean. Would definitely stay here again!
I’ll begin by saying that this is by far one of the best rental experiences I’ve ever had. The hospitality and communication with the host was incredible! The extra “touches” of pride taken by them in their property were extremely impressive. Their precious daughter even left us welcoming basket with snacks and a beautiful little note. We were in town to seek housing for my son who is beginning medical school nearby. I have already decided that this will be my “go-to” residence when I’m in southern Illinois to visit! Thoroughly impressed!! The high ratings are definitely warranted.
The entire experience was amazing! Exceptional host who had everything ready early and provided a clean, warm and welcoming experience. Accommodations were accurately depicted in the photos and written description. Highly recommend this quiet, private, and spacious getaway that was close to all the local amenities with the feel of country charm.
The home was amazing! Great location, very clean, spacious, and amazing communication with the host Melissa. She went above and beyond on everything possible. We will be sure to keep the home saved for future trips to the area. Strongly recommend slaying here!
The place was very welcoming and clean with a lot of amenities . We celebrated my granddaughters birthday there and when we walked in the door they had a bouquet of balloons and snacks waiting for us . We were very appreciative of the kindness . Definitely a recommend stay.
The house is beautifully decorated and the host made everything perfect for our stay! Checking in was super easy and communication with Melissa was so perfect. We can’t wait to visit again!
We had a wonderful stay—it truly felt like a home away from home. The property was comfortable, relaxing, and had everything we needed. It was also in a convenient location, making it easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit in the area
The cabin is lovely, welcoming, and pristine. The grounds are quiet and peaceful. Everything you need is there. As amazing as this cabin is, it’s the hosts that really put it over the top. They are helpful, generous, and very knowledgeable about the area and the attractions it offers. You can’t go wrong with this listing.
This cabin was amazing. Easily one of the best experiences like this with a private home rental. The place is perfect, clean, has everything you would need. Great for kids! The hosts are sooo friendly and had so many great recommendations and surprises for my kids!! It was wonderful and highly recommended!!
Great spot - cabin secluded in the woods but close to town. Very clean, plenty of room for six of us. All decorated for Christmas! Hosts were very friendly and attentive!
It was clean and the furniture was very comfy. The tvs in every room was also nice. It could use some extra blankets in the closet, and also maybe some outdoor seating around the fireplace outside.
What a fantastic place to call “home” for the week. The location was central to all of my family locally and the driveway was big enough to fit their trucks! The yard had ample space for my nieces and nephews to play games. The wildlife in the field out back was a bonus! Everyone really enjoyed themselves and we can’t wait to come back!
The cabin is beautiful and spacious. The location is quiet and serene in a woodsy environment. The owners of the property are very nice. The check-in process was easy and we enjoyed our stay very much. We had a 3 and 4 year old and the owners left us a gift of s’mores to make for kids out by the fire pit. It was a big hit with the children. I would highly recommend this location.

Mary,
It was a true pleasure to host you and your family! The Spiderman coloring page absolutely made our day!!! Please come back soon! -The Farley Family
Beautiful!! This house is tucked back in the woods on a beautiful piece of property. The outside of the house is very warm and inviting. The inside is exactly as the photos on the website. It is beautiful inside. Everything was very clean. They provided everything a person would need or if they forgot to bring. The check in process was very easy. Melissa, was extremely easy to work with during our booking, checking in and checking out. The location is close to town. We will definitely book again!!
The Grove was the perfect stay for our extended family for our son's graduation at SIU. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was perfect with all supplies, and the living area was great for reclining and reading a book. We loved the peaceful property and seeing the deer and song birds (pee wee, indigo bunting) each day. The porch swing is a nice place to relax, drink coffee, and watch the world go by. Melissa and Ryan were the perfect hosts. We highly recommend this escape to serenity.
The Grove is perfect in every way. This home is pristine and so incredibly clean and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything and outfitted the residence with quality furnishings, ample and comfortable furniture, bedding and linens! It is incredibly well-equipped with every excellent quality amenity to make your stay simply perfect. You feel like you’re in a world all to your own, but paved roads will quickly lead you to many stores and restaurants just minutes away. It truly is a gem and someplace we will stay when we travel home to visit family! It absolutely feels like home, away from home.

Jay, we are so delighted that you loved, The Grove. We loved having you as guests and we hope that you all come back very soon!
We came to visit family and found The Grove. The photos don't do it justice. The property was beautiful and the house was everything we needed. The house was impeccably clean which made my clean-freak heart happy. We have already made arrangements to stay again in the spring when we come back. The hosts were just lovely. They had great communication and made us feel so welcome. Great job, guys! We will see you in April.

About the host
Hosted by Ryan and Melissa Farley
We are absolutely delighted that you’ve found The Grove! As a family of four who has a passion for traveling, hosting in our home, and cheering on Illini Football, it truly feels like a dream to share our space with you and your loved ones! Living just a minute away from The Grove, we cherish every moment we can spend on the property, especially when we aren’t busy with sports practices and games. With the proximity to the amazing new Oasis Sports Complex, our goal is to offer comfort and relaxation to families like ours who are seeking more space and amenities than you’ll find in a hotel. We can’t wait to welcome you!
Why they chose this property
This property is truly exceptional, beloved by us and its community in Crenshaw Crossing, a unique area of Marion with a famous history. While much of the land has been heavily stripped mined, including our own home, The Grove stands out as a precious gem. The original owners made a courageous decision to resist the advances of coal companies year after year, preserving this beautiful parcel of land which is home to hundreds of walnut and sycamore trees. The name, The Grove, came from these beautiful groupings of trees where many children, including our own, find themselves playing on and under.
Now, we have the privilege of carrying on that legacy. We acquired this property from another family, also passionate Illini fans, who had it in their family for several generations. The Grove offers a serene, secluded atmosphere that evokes the charm of a bygone era. Its simplicity is unparalleled, and we invite you to experience the magic of The Grove. We are confident you will appreciate it as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
If you’re like us and often on the move for sporting events, you know how exhausting hotel stays can be. That’s why we turned to VRBOs – they offer a perfect blend of comfort and space to unwind. And we take great pride in sharing this experience with other families!
Our property truly stands out, located just under four minutes from the vibrant heart of Marion, where you’ll find the Oasis Sports Complex, Kokopelli Golf course, shopping, and dining. Yet, despite this proximity, you'll feel blissfully secluded in nature. It’s truly the best of both worlds! Don’t miss out on creating unforgettable memories with us at The Grove!
