Peaceful and Relaxing

We really enjoyed staying in the farmhouse. It honestly took me back to my childhood staying at my grandparents farmhouse. The house was very clean and cozy and we will return our next trip to Illinois!

Hunting Trip

Property was very comfortable. Jackie was very attentive to our needs. It was colder than normal and she provided an extra heater which made the teno in the house warm and cozy. We will definatly be back if we need to stay again in Sparta.

Everything was just as we remembered. Cozy, warm and comfortable. Our 14 year old GSP has been here before and we knew when she walked in she felt right at home. We lost her sister just 2 months ago and it gave us peace of mind when we left her to hunt for a few hours. Thank you Jackie for letting us bring our girl AJ and for the cute toy you left for her!

Good place to stay

House was like grandma moved out. Older but clean. Listing did show 2 queen beds in the living room but there were only a couple of standard couches. Not a big deal this time as there were only two of us.
