About this house rental

This large timberframe home is an ideal country getaway in a private peaceful location (surrounded by 120 acres of woods, valley, grass, and farm ground). Enjoy beautiful views from the spacious kitchen, large living areas, deck, or screened-in porch. Spend time outdoors with walking trails, large playground, basketball hoop, large grass areas for sports, and hills for sledding. Located: 20 minutes from Monmouth, IL; 25 minutes from Galesburg, IL; and 35 minutes from Macomb, IL.

You will have the entire house to yourself. This timberframe home is 4,500 sq ft and was built on the top of a hill overlooking a valley and woods. It was built with reclaimed barn beams from one of my great Grandpa's barns and insulated concrete walls surrounding most of the house.

The main level has 1800 sq ft of living space. The master bedroom is located on this level and has a king size bed, walk-in closet, and master bathroom with a shower and a whirlpool tub. There is also a small bedroom with 2 toddler beds and a large pack 'n play that can be used as a crib. Besides the bedrooms, there is also a large modern kitchen, mudroom, laundry room, 1/2 bathroom, and large living/dining area with wood burning fireplace and vaulted ceiling that is 30 ft to the peak of the roof. From the open living/dining area, you can walk out to a screened-in porch that overlooks the valley.

On the upper level, there is 900 sq ft of living space. There is a bathroom with a shower. Next to the bathroom are two different bedrooms. Both bedrooms are enclosed with a door and walls, but two of the walls do not go completely to the vaulted ceiling. Please see pictures. One bedroom has a queen size bed, desk and dresser. The other bedroom has a queen size bed, chair, and dresser. There is also a loft reading area with a large selection of books and another open room on the east side of the house.

The lower level is a partially finished 1800 sq ft walk-out basement with a large bedroom with 4 twin beds, walk-in closet, bathroom with tub/shower, large play room with toys and mini basketball hoops, and large room with couches, TV, music keyboard, and games/puzzles. The storage room is locked and not available for use. From the walk-out basement, you can access a concrete patio which is underneath the screened-in porch. There is an outdoor fire pit near the patio.

Our property has a variety of things to do outside: deck with Traeger wood pellet grill, screened-in porch, outdoor fire pit, trails through the woods, large playground equipment, large grass areas to play soccer/kickball/football/baseball, large concrete area with basketball hoop, and hills for sledding.

Various wildlife, such as deer and turkey, have been seen while on the property. The house and property are very peaceful and quiet due to its remote location. It is between 15 - 30 miles to Monmouth, Galesburg, or Macomb. Please note that the property is located on a county maintained gravel road. We also have an outdoor security camera to monitor the front door area.

This was a perfect home for our family weekend getaway! The home has plenty of space for kids to find spots to play and hangout, we even had a spot in the loft to have an ongoing game of HeroQuest setup. The kitchen was fully equipped and we cooked all weekend with plenty of dining space for all of us. There was even a small table in the kitchen perfect for our Lego builders. And the night sky was incredible for our telescope fans!! We spent a lot of time in the screened in porch eating and playing cards. It was the best location for some peace and serenity, absolutely fabulous. We’ll probably go back for more family time!!
