8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2025
This is an old farmhouse on a working farm and with that comes what you might expect, inconsistent heat, lower water pressure, and flies. The home is comforable and well appointed. The host is responsive. The listing says 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms but the third bathroom is in the basement down a treacherous narrow, steep, uneven staircase without a rail. No one in our group felt safe using that staircase. So it was basically a 2 bath for us which was disappointing as we wanted 3. Its also a pet friendly place so if you have allergies, it might not be a great place for you. Its convenient to the surrounding state parks and towns. Overall its a nice stay.

The home was very comfortable and spacious, it was well-stocked with toiletries and kitchen supplies, and the added bonus for us "city folk" was the quiet farm setting with the herd of cows! The host provided lots of dining options and made sure the access to the house was plowed several times after the fairly heavy snowfall. It was a great place to relax and not too far from Starved Rock with lots of interesting hiking trails! Highly recommended!

Our stay was a family celebration of birthdays and early Thanksgiving. The long weekend was relaxing and serene - exactly what we had hoped for. The farm was as advertised and we enjoyed seeing the kittens and cows. As a working farm, there were flies throughout the house (as noted with previous guests) but we did not find them problematic. I assume the farm is on well water because the pressure is very low. We did experience loss of heat upstairs and some miscommunication with the host regarding attention to it. However, it was resolved in a few hours. The oven did not work (we told the host when he came to fix the heat - he had not been aware) and knives were very dull which made the meal preparation challenging. There was no propane in the grill. We found creative solutions and still enjoyed the stay overall very much. The stairs going up to second floor and basement are very steep. There is a Kroger grocery store and Walmart within 15 minutes which is very convenient! Be aware as a working farm, there are workers coming and going all day and through the wee hours of the morning. We did not find them disruptive at all but if you're looking for complete privacy, this may not be the best place to stay. While there are many specific details in this review, our overall experience was WONDERFUL.

Exactly the old farm ambiance that we wanted as we attended an outdoor fall wedding nearby. Beautiful night skies, farm fields under harvest and distant silos and wind turbines made for the most magical stay. We were greeted by a line of barn kitties, and enjoyed the occasional moo of the cows/cattle. Neighbor to south had a farm stand with sweet goodies we enjoyed each day. Hope to return. Great stay.
