Easy check-in process and super convenient location to SIU, Carbondale, and the wine trail. Ample space and 2-car garage made it perfect for a group.Only room for improvement would be having central air or cooling options in the bedrooms.Overall great stay

We will definitely book our next stay with this home as it was very very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The host is very easy to communicate with, even though we didn't need to contact her about anything during our stay because everything was perfect. Having a garage to park in was definitely a plus. The king beds were comfy and the kitchen was stock with everything that we needed. Thanks again.
