We were very pleased with how clean and cutely decorated our VRBO was. The outside patio was great as well as the amount of space for all of us to hang out.We walked downtown to eat and hangout but spent a lot of time downstairs playing pool and games.Thank you for providing coffee and creamer and a warm welcoming environment 5 stars!I would like to speak/ text to the owners!!

Great stay. I would have liked more than just 2 TV’s considering our trip was during March Madness and Illinois is still experiencing winter weather the last in March.

Loved this place!!

We absolutely loved this VRBO home. It was very spacious with 5 bedrooms for our larger group. The basement bar / entertainment area was perfect. We hung out down there, played billiards and watched weekend football. The communication and cleanliness was flawless. We would stay here again without a doubt. Thanks again.
