The Pickering place is a a wonderful place to stay if you are in central Illinois.....spacious classic farm house and wonderful hosts....we have a family reunion close by and this location is perfect for our family....highly recommended
This is a classic farm house that could not be cleaner, had lots of room, spacious, spotless, and perfect.Linda was a very gracious host, and the farm property was very nice.I could live in this home if it were 250 miles closer to home.
My husband is from Edinburg. So I just jokingly looked for a VRBO there one night. This amazing farmhouse showed up.Turns out, he worked on this farm as a kid growing up, before going off to the Marines.But this farm is beautiful. A step back into a time past. This historic home is decorated perfectly. Very clean and has EVERYTHING, you could need while there.We spent most of our time on the patio, which is shaded in the morning and evening.A large kitchen and plenty of space to eat in the dining room too.The beds where not like the beds of the past, haha, thankfully. They were so comfortable. Incredibly clean. My huaband had the best time spending the weekend here. We didnt want to leave.We are already planning our next visit back to the farm!
We held our Thanksgiving gathering here and it was exceptional. Very clean, fun house. Linda is a very responsive host. I will not hesitate to book this farmhouse again.
Beautiful old farmhouse in a country setting. This property was perfect for our stay visiting family for the holidays. The home was spacious and well stocked. The property is a well kept farm in a good location just outside of town. The house was very clean and we loved the history throughout the home. Will definitely stay again.
We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy farmhouse! The property was beautifully maintained, clean, and full of charm. It was the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a peaceful retreat. The quiet countryside made for a truly relaxing experience. The hosts thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and welcoming. Whether you’re looking for a quiet escape or a base to explore the area, this farmhouse is an excellent choice. Highly recommend!
Just as listed, supplied everything we needed, host was VERY accommodating and was always quick to respond. Working farm so nice to see all the veggies growing. Would definitely stay here again!
Spacious Country Antique Home with huge rooms!!!1918
We all had movie nights and played hide and seek. You could take a break from family and friends in any of the bedrooms. We all loved. Grown kids did take a walk. The owner was wonderful. We truly felt blessed to have her!!!!!!
Linda’s house was perfect for our quick trip to visit family in Taylorville. It has all the charm of an old farmhouse but is well maintained and extremely clean. Our three year old loved visiting the pumpkin barn. Linda was quick to respond after we left and thought we had forgotten something at the home. Would definitely stay here again!
All was very clean and homey. Comfy beds, wonderful personal touches left by owner and an on-site farmstore! We worked long days and wish we could have spent more time enjoying the property.
Clean, pleasant farmhouse! Our second time staying in this vrbo home! Love the country setting! Especially enjoyed the open view of evening thunder storms (in the distance) rolling by! :)
We had a wonderful stay at this country farmhouse. It accomodates a large group easily and was quiet, spacious, squeaky clean, and well equipped. Linda was great at responding quickly to any questions. Loved enjoying group meals in the central kitchen and dining room with antique table. Felt like home! Would definitely stay here again when in the area.
