Beautiful location in the secluded woods

This is your peaceful and serene nature getaway with an off grid appeal. It is secluded and beautiful and borders the Shawnee National Forest boundary. It is right on the wine trail in southern Illinois, with plenty of orchards and famous hiking trails such as Little Grand Canyon and Pomona Natural Bridge. Hunting is legal on this 8.2 acre property, and there are plenty of places to hike on the property and into the connecting Shawnee National Forest. There are picnic areas in the woods and a spacious back deck to enjoy your morning coffee or evening glass of wine while enjoying the sunset. This place is very secluded and there is almost no traffic as it sits on a one lane farm road. The entire home has been renovated and remodeled, with a wood burning stove inside. For 2024, it is in the heart of total darkness for the eclipse! Rent this secluded place and have it all to yourself for the week! Your pets are more than welcome! The bedrooms sleep 5 people. Extra guests are welcome to bring air mattresses. The kitchen has coffee and a coffee maker, as well as ice and water. There is bathtub and a shower for guests. There is also a sheltered picnic area outside in case of rain, as well as a covered back deck. WI-FI has just been added to the home! .

Getaway Retreat with the family!!
All I have to say is this was an amazing experience we have had as a family. Not only the host had EVERYTHING perfect and was absolutely a huge help with suggestions and ideas for the area but this was a perfect place to stay and not only enjoyed having time with one another but the huge lot gave us time to explore, play baseball and even our dog absolutely loved running wild! There is winery and brewery around the corner. There is enough places to hike and explorer. The home is in a perfect spot to do everything! If you’re looking to get away this is the place! We will be back next year or SOONER!!

Extremely clean and private location!
Not only some of the best communication from the homeowner, probably one of the cleanest places I've stayed. Renovations to the home were beautiful. Quiet area. Toiletries and necessities such as coffee, cups, plates, cookware were provided. Soaps and towels. Stay here and you will know hospitality! Just 15 minutes from some incredible Shawnee sites and eateries! Very much appreciate being able to stay. Even the kids and dog loved it! :)

Peaceful Hideaway
This place was so peaceful. Felt like a good break from the every day chaos. It is secluded and has acres of trees. It was fun to explore the property. The family made good use of the espresso, firepit, and the back deck. The nighttime ambience is relaxing. Nightsky in Pomona is pristine and free of light pollution. There was a lot of cool stuff to go see nearby. We checked out Pomona Natural bridge, Bald Knob Cross of Peace, a local orchard, Von Jakob Winery, and Giant City State Park. There are things we want to come back and check out (couple of the other wineries and the little grand canyon). The host was great! He took good care of us, communicated well, and even allowed us to meet his amazing four-legged friend. Apollo is a good boy. I'm excited about booking the next trip here!

Beyond our expectation!
I was looking for a location to celebrate my partner's birthday, she enjoys the disconnection of daily routine and loves nature. This place exceeded any expectations we had. The location is fairly secluded and takes you into a world where you will wake up and walk out to the sounds of nature and the forest. It is absolutely magical and we cannot wait to go back again! We had no phone signal, completely disconnected and it was honestly the best experience. No phones, no distractions, just you and nature. The nearest Walmart or gas station was no more than a 30 minute drive out of the location. Host was very kind and helpful throughout our stay. He provided everything we needed and more! If you are considering this location, be prepared to come out of it feeling refreshed and with plenty of memories.
