We stay in a lot of VRBO's...and this is the best of them. Nate and Ruth are providing hospitality not just a place to stay. When we travel, we cook so I have a rubbermaid tub with everything that I would need, but I wouldn't have needed to bother because it's all available. Our young granddaughter visited us and we enjoyed the swing set in the back yard, walking around the pond and watching the horse across the street. There were even toys for her. We appreciated the washer and dryer and the garage. We'll be back.

It was almost perfect. Reminded me of home. There were a few very small issues not terrible but could be fixed easily. First one the back door squeaked when opened. The hot water could of been a little warmer. Like I said just little things just like at our home. We really did enjoy it and it was so peaceful and a beautiful location. We will be returning next year .opene

WONDERFUL!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Everything was perfect. Our grandsons loved it, as well as ourselves. I really enjoyed the swing on the back porch. I was able to sit there in the evening and watch my grandsons fish in the pond next door. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. The owners were very accommodating and also quick to respond if I had any questions. If we are ever in the area again, my hope is that this property is available and we are ale to stay again. Thank you.

Nice and quiet
The location of this property was perfect for the events we were attending. We really appreciated the abundance of towels and washcloths. Thank you! Most places only leave you one a day. We appreciated having enough, especially in this heat. We also really appreciated the items left in the fridge since we arrived too late to go to the grocery. My only suggestions for this property would be to upgrade the mattresses and swap the jersey knit sheets out for regular 100% cotton sheets. The jersey knit are hot. We enjoyed our stay and will try to stay here again next year.

Guys hunting trip
My husband and a friend take a hunting trip to IL each fall. This was the first time staying at this home. The home was clean and beds were very comfortable. The home had everything that they needed and more than they expected, like breakfast fixings, pancake mix, eggs, milk, and juice in the fridge. The host was very quick to respond to any questions. Already looking at booking in the future. Wish all VRBO owners took pride in their properties like these do.

This was a great place to stay for our fishing trip to Rend Lake. The weather and the fish didn’t cooperate as much as we would have liked but the house was better than expected! Very clean and in a nice location. The garage was a huge bonus!

We Will Be Back
This house was very clean and so convenient for my family this Christmas. The house is as advertised in the listing. We had no issues with anything. Communication was great with the owner. We were even able to arrive a day earlier than planned due to the winter storm that hit this Christmas. We will stay again next time we are home to visit my family.
