We stayed for a family get away meeting our granddaughter & her husband for a couple of days. The space was perfect. Location was great. Communication from the host was top notch! We used the fire pit & hot tub every night. I would recommend this property! Loved the backyard view!

We were disappointed that the hot tub wasn’t working but the house was clean and everything else was great. They compensated us for the hot tub not working and were easy to communicate with. Five stars!

Gorgeous sunsets! Shiny clean bathrooms. Minutes from Giant City and Makanda. Great place to relax and spend time catching up with our SIU student! Thanks.

First of all let me say this was a beautiful home. We did enjoy our week stay. The scenery was spectacular. The weather was perfect. Loved the fire pit. There are a lot of improvements to make it a better stay. The hot tub was sitting at 80 degree? The furnace did not work. The fireplace did not work. She came out to fix fireplace once and then it quit on us again. There is not enough comfortable seating for 4 adults. The back concrete steps were a hazard. Two sisters missed the first step going down and fell. Needs to be a step down strip running along the top of the step so you can see it better, The concrete steps all just blend in too well to see that top step to step down. The place was full of mice. Yes we saw 5 of them and one of them slowly died in the game room. Overall we had a wonderful time and would probably still stay here even with the few issues we had.
