We started a short term rental in 2020 that is very successful for our area! We aren’t a destination vacation but we love hosting and providing a nice getaway for families, couples, friends, and anyone looking to get away from the busy every day hustle of life. This homestead is on our farm and is connected to a different property with a 6 acre private lake and another small acre lake and wooded area. Totaling 60 acres you are able to enjoy! Walk around and enjoy the nature of our farm and property. There are 2 RV/Camper spots on the opposite side of the machine shed as well as a "Coming Soon" home that will also be a short term rental.

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca Galle
Hi there! Thank you for looking at our farmstead! This was Derek's grandparents home and farm. Since we have such success and joy hosting with our other property since 2020 we decided to share this house with others!
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
This home has a new 6 person Bullfrog hot tub with bluetooth speakers to enjoy right off the back patio. The rural night sky is amazing at night and sometime you can catch wildlife in the surrounding fields. Down the lane there is a 6 acre lake (not stocked yet) and also a smaller acre pond that is great for fishing!
