This area of Illinois is very beautiful with rolling hills, wooded areas, cow pastures, and wineries galore. The property was a bit off the beaten path so our GPS had a hard time finding it, however, the owner was accessible by phone and very willing to help us out. The house is a very charming older home. The floor plan offered our large group the ability to occupy several areas at once without feeling cramped or in each other's space. The quality of the sheets on the beds were better than any 4 star hotel I've stayed at, and the "extras" in the kitchen and bathrooms were unexpected and delightful. The kitchen was on the small side so entertaining would have to be well thought out. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there, and if we find ourselves going to this part of Illinois in the future we would use this property again in a heartbeat.
