This was the second time staying at this house and everything was just as perfect as it was the first time. The weather was great for hanging out in the water and then around the fire in the evening. This property has everything a large group needs. And there are plenty of different areas to hang out so everyone can split up if they want. A great property for my big extended family to spend time together once a year.

Great place for Girls Weekend
This was a perfect place for a girls weekend trip. The space was big enough to walk away and do your own thing if you wanted, and the open floor plan was great to socialize in during mealtimes. Great great place!

Our family loved this place! Definitely tucked away in nature/farm country which was lovely. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and serving meals. House was very clean. The house felt very spacious and comfortable, plenty of places to spread out but still felt cozy at the same time. Kids really enjoyed the game room, as well as exploring the pond, catching tadpoles, and fishing. Yard and pond were beautiful! Kayaking was so fun as well, and hot tub was so relaxing! Great place to stay!

Everything about this property was perfect for our large group of family. So many different parts of the house and outside to hang out. The game room and the deck were the favorites! We made use of the sandbar and kayaks and had a nice bonfire one evening! Everything was super clean and tidy. It was a little piece of Heaven!

Amazing Family Getaway
Our family (set of grandparents, 4 adults and 3 kids 8 and under) loved our stay! Check in was easy and the place was ready for us! The entire property is so beautiful. A warning for those families that are over packers - this house is FULLY stocked! When I say anything you could want or need to use in the kitchen - it is there. Loads of dishes, tons of towels, laundry items, extra tables and chairs, a baby gate - everything! We definitely could have saved some room in our car, haha!Any time we had a question, our host was quick to respond and very helpful. We had a wonderful time, and I have a feeling we will be coming back again.

Acerca de su propietario/a
Propietario/a: Mark Probst
Por qué escogió este alojamiento
We chose this area because of charm of Southern Illinois. If you enjoy wineries, you can visit anyone of the 11 wineries nearby. For the nature lover, you can visit Giant City State Park or Ferne Clyffe State Park for some great hiking and beautiful rocks and waterfalls.
Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
Everyone who stays here loves the beautiful views that overlook the 2.5 acre pond. With over 2,000 sq. ft. of outdoor deck space, its a great place for families to enjoy time together and create memories. For some, it's relaxing in the hot tub that's sitting on the deck with still the same views. If you like entertainment, you'll enjoy the game room with the pool table and the bar area.
