We had a lovely overnight stay in Anna, IL! It was just what we needed for two couples who were just in town for a wedding. Everything was lovely and clean and comfy! We all slept so well and that is not always the case when staying away from home! Our host was friendly and helpful and so easy to communicate with!

I don't know why people continue to stay in hotels when you can have a whole house! We loved our stay, it was clean and perfectly located! Beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean with lots of towels. We will definitely be back! Our host was very responsive and friendly.

Kayla was super friendly and answered all my questions. Inside of the house was updated, clean and comfortable. Clear check-in instructions were provided, and the process was easy. The house was well located for our needs, right off of 51 for easy travel into town and up to Carbondale, and the area was quiet and peaceful.

Kayla is a wonderful hostess. We had a couple questions, she answered promptly. The home is very spacious, very clean, has all toiletries and kitchenware you need. The bath towels were some of the nicest I have encounted in the vrbo's we have been to. We had a wonderful stay. With relatives in the area, we are so happy to have a comfortable, private, place to stay. The diningroom table is a perfect size to invite the sister and brother to the house to visit us!! Thank you, Kayla.

This is the cutest little farmhouse! I loved everything about it, but the enclosed porch was my favorite part. Perfect for your morning cup of coffee/evening drink with your spouse…or dog! The bedrooms were clean and spacious, and having two bathrooms was perfect when we came back from hiking and everyone wanted to shower as soon as possible. Central air kept the house very comfortable, and the kitchen had all the necessities right down to an external ice machine. Pink mailbox made it easy to locate off the main road. Host was quick with all communication. Just a quick drive to get to Walmart, hiking, or downtown Anna. 100% hoping to return.

Kayla was quick to answer any questions. Her description of the place is very accurate. Beautifully remodeled. Spacious. Comfortable beds. We rented because it's the perfect location if you want to explore Giant City and Ferne Clyffe. We didn't have time this time but there are numerous parks and biking trails nearby. I highly recommend it.

The good: Communication with the host was excellent throughout the whole process! The beds and couches were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels and pillows. The inside of the house was very clean. The value we got for the money was incredible!The bad: Upon arrival, there was a lot of trash in the yard which wasn't super welcoming. I ended up picking up what I could see. The garbage appeared to have not been taken out in weeks and smelled terrible. There was also a strange smell in the house. Possibly a dead animal somewhere?The weird: When we got back on day two, a gentleman was parked in the driveway. He was mowing the grass which was no big deal, but what I found strange was that he stayed on site for a while afterwards taking lots of pictures. The bedroom setup is strange having to walk through one bedroom without a door to get to the second bedroom. Lastly, the Roku TV remote did not work the volume on the TV. I could not figure out what was wrong with it.

Thank you for your detailed review—we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the communication, comfort of the beds and furniture, cleanliness inside the home, and overall value of your stay. Regarding your other comments, we have not received similar feedback about any odor in the home, but we will continue to monitor this moving forward. The outdoor areas are maintained regularly, though timing can occasionally vary around guest arrivals. The individual you saw on the property was completing scheduled lawn maintenance to keep the grounds in good condition for guests. We will work on ensuring timing and communication around this is as seamless as possible. We appreciate you pointing out the Roku remote issue and will make sure it is checked and functioning properly for future guests. The bedroom layout is accurately reflected in the listing, and we encourage guests to review photos and descriptions to ensure it meets their needs. Thank you again for your feedback.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was nice and comfortable, and we had everything we needed. It was a great chance to relax and take a break from busy Chicago. Waking up in the morning with the window open, fresh air, the sounds of birds, and leaves rustling was simply amazing. Thank you for hosting us!

About the host

Hosted by Kayla

Host profile image
I’m a single mom and a high school science teacher with a big dream. This property is a passion project of mine, and my goal is to slowly transform it into a peaceful vacation retreat where people can come unplug and enjoy the beauty of the Southern Illinois countryside.

Hosting allows me to continue improving and remodeling the property so each guest can enjoy a comfortable, welcoming space. With continued support, I hope to eventually offer amenities like space for guests to bring their horses and camp near the stocked pond at the back of the property.

This place has already come a long way with an almost complete remodel, and I take pride in sharing it with guests who appreciate nature, relaxation, and a quiet escape. I truly enjoy hosting and helping others create memorable stays in a setting that means so much to me.

Please Note: 📝

We’re also still making improvements to the exterior of the home, so please pardon any unfinished touches outside. We're glad to share this relaxing space with you and truly appreciate your understanding!

While the home is close to town, it's still in a rural setting—so you may notice an occasional bug or two, especially depending on the season. We do our best to keep everything clean and comfortable for our guests!

WiFi is available, though please note it may be slower at times due to our rural location—even though we’re close to town. It generally works well!

Why they chose this property

The home is nestled in a quiet, relaxing country setting where you can truly unwind and enjoy the natural beauty of Southern Illinois. It’s the perfect place to slow down, take in the scenery, and enjoy the peace and open space around you.

What I love most is that while it feels like a rural escape, the property is just a few minutes from town. Guests have easy access to shopping, delicious local restaurants, and the unique charm of a small Southern Illinois community. It’s the best of both worlds—country calm with town conveniences close by.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets this property apart is the combination of peaceful country living and thoughtful, ongoing care. The home sits in a beautiful Southern Illinois setting that feels like a true escape, yet it’s still conveniently close to town for dining, shopping, and local attractions.

The property has undergone an almost complete remodel, with comfort and functionality in mind, while still preserving the charm of the countryside. Guests can enjoy open space, quiet surroundings, and views that invite relaxation—something you don’t often find paired with modern updates.

This is more than just a place to stay; it’s a growing retreat. Each visit helps support continued improvements, with plans to expand outdoor experiences like enjoying the stocked pond and, eventually, welcoming guests who travel with their horses. It’s a unique stay designed for those who appreciate nature, comfort, and a personal touch.
