The cottage was absolutely beautiful and very cozy!! Check in was at 4:00 and a breeze to get in. It was clean and the hot tub was a great bonus!! We loved our stay. We toured the Cross of Peace around the corner from us, enjoyed the Alto winery and Orchards. Lots to do in a small town. We rode our bicycles one evening and loved looking at the countryside. Great little getaway for us. Thanks for being great hosts.

Spring break Southern Illinois

Fantastic little cabin, perfect location for wineries and outdoor activities. If you've never been to the area you are missing out. Everything is exactly as described and our stay was excellent. It was great to find a pet friendly location, the fenced in back yard is an amazing feature for dog owners. We will definitely come back.

Relaxing, clean, great location

The property was as described and clean! There are a few extras that were wonderful, coffee, sugar, and bug spray! It is located near wineries and hiking. Hot tub was great after long hikes. We did not realize it was pet friendly which caused our allergies to act up but that was our fault for not reading closely.

Absolutely a wonderful place to get away from the big city. We needed to unwind and just relax. This was the perfect place. The cabin was great with everything we wanted and needed. Hot tub was a highlight. Quiet, peaceful and serene setting. Spring was in full bloom here. Exceptional views abound on the property and the surrounding areas.
