Since this was our first VRBO we were very appreciative of how patient Brock was with all our questions. He quickly responded, and provide information in a concise manner. The property was lovely, and all the amenities listed with provided PLUS a few more! This is a great location when visiting Southern Illinois and centrally located between Cape Girardeau and Carbondale, and close to many wineries.
