4th of July Fun

We stayed here over 4th of July weekend and it was perfect! We were very close to the town square and a short drive to our family - which is exactly what we wanted. Easy check-in and check-out, clean and comfortable. Plenty of room for 3 families with children ranging from 2-8 years old. They were great with communication and quick to respond. Will stay here again for future family gatherings. Thank you!

Carlinville Grand

The Carlinville Grand is exactly that! From the time we booked until our departure communication was easy and fast. The house was beautiful and very well stocked. The hosts were very thoughtful with their preparations for our rental experience. Walking distance to the square where we found shopping, food, and pubs. We will definitely recommend to others. Looking forward to our next visit.

Wonderful Stay

The house is wonderful and we very much enjoyed our stay! It was very spacious and the character of the house was fascinating. It was exceptionally clean and well stocked with towels, linens etc. We did not do any cooking other than breakfast oatmeal during our stay but there were plenty of dishes. The location was great and made visiting family up in Girard very easy. Arryn was wonderful with communication and very attentive. Overall, we had a great stay and we will definitely look forward to booking another stay here in the future!!
