Sanctuary Woodland Guest House, located next to the conservation area!

Our guest house is located on a picturesque 5 acres, next to a woodland forest.

Little house on the sanctuary
Very nice place for an overnight stay. You do hear highway traffic at night. We just turned on a fan for white noise. We didn't spend much time at the house but it was nice to have a place available in the area. The hosts answered questions quickly and we're friendly.

Perfect Perseids Party!
I rented the property mostly based on the fact that it was in a relatively dark sky area in relation to Chicago. The house was charming. We were surrounded by the bird sanctuary & woodland. The turkeys were next to the house & we never once tired of hearing their calls. Rehana & Joe were very busy preparing for an event but still were helpful & responsive with everything we asked & needed. The path in the back was so pretty. We held a bonfire as we watched the meteor shower. <3

High School Graduation Weekend
We spent the weekend in Lake Geniva Wisconsin attending Grandson's graduation. We opted to stay outside of town at this property.This was exactly what we need to avoid the expensive hotels and the large crowds in Lake Geniva during the weekend. How relaxing it was to return back to the house and enjoy the peaceful suroundings. Waking up to the rooster crowing took me back to staying at my grandma's!

Relax
We were attending the 2 days of Harvard Milk Day festivities. This was a nice respite to return to each evening and it’s near to town location allowed us to also enjoy morning coffee sitting outside listening to the proud Tom turkey and roosters flanking the house.

The owners were responsive and the place was as described. I just needed a place close to work for a long-1.5 week project that required lots of overtime.

This cottage is warm and comfortable on far enough off the highway to be quiet and make you feel like you're in farm country. A very pleasant stay with charming owners.
