Nice location and comfortable stay for our family trip. Loved the games! Very clean too. We expected to be able to get to (ie walk) to river from there but you cant. Still easily accessible.

This house was the perfect place for our group for the week. Lovely house with tons of character! Especially loved all the games and we were even able to enjoy the hot tub one night. Our host thought of everything you could possibly need.

Clean rooms/property, perfect place that’s not too far from activities and the outdoors but far enough from everything to not feel crowded by everyday life. Communication from the hosts of the property was top notch. If/when we are in the area, we will be booking again! Thank you for the great hospitality!

The home was very clean and inviting when we arrived. Any questions that we had were quickly answered by the host. The property is located close to comfortable shopping without the big city hustle. It was fun to learn the history of the property and the surrounding area by the Illinois river.

As advertised?

Great place for a girls retreat. 8 of us ( all family) had a nice time. It was secluded but only 4 min from Lacon with a nice gift/thrift store, and restaurants, winery near by also. It’s on a wetland where you can go on a hike. Lots of wild life ( deer, geese, snake, ducks were seen) the house was stocked very well. Owner was easy to get ahold of. Great house great time!

Something for Everyone

My family was very impressed by the amenities this house provided. The house provided enough space for my four children and my husband and I. We loved seeing and reading the articles about the house, which gave us a glimpse into its history while incorporating modern necessities that most families desire. Tyler was quick to respond with any questions I had and stayed in touch with any updates. My children are already asking if we can come back next year!
