About this property
Peaceful Country Home
Country house on 3 acres with a peaceful 1.5 acre private lake perfect for a getaway from the modern busy life or in the area visiting friends and family. Enjoy the small beach area during the day and relax by the firepit or build a bonfire in the evening! Cook a meal inside or outside on the grill or order out to make it even easier! On those rainy/cold days, enjoy games inside, air hockey table or watch a movie and light the fireplace.
(We supply the first propane tank for the firepit, guests must purchase refill if continuing use of the firepit)

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Galle
Hi there! Thank you for looking at our house! My husband and I take great pride in this property! We have been landlords for over 10 years with 3 other houses and decided becoming hosts on AirBnB would be an amazing new adventure! This property has awesome features and we have a lot in store for it! If you book with us, we hope you keep an eye out to return as we have so much we want to add!
Why they chose this property
Marissa is a quiet small town with a couple restaurants and gas stations but less than 15 minutes to a small city (Sparta, IL) where you can do shopping or enjoy dinner at the local restaurants. We are also close to the World Shooting Complex and Recreation. Throughout the area there are different wineries and parks or if you want to travel a bit further we are about 30 minutes from Belleville, IL or 50 minutes from St. Louis, MO. Something in particular you are looking to do, send me a message and I will be happy to answer any questions! We hope you decide to book with us and let our house give you the relaxation you deserve!
What makes this property unique
Our property consist of a 1.5 acre private lake with a dock and small beach area to enjoy. The front porch is the length of the house with a swing to enjoy the evenings and a firepit to enhance the ambiance of the sun setting and fresh air.
