We enjoyed our stay and our dogs loved it.

We had an amazing stay at Haven in the Woods! I loved taking our dogs for a walk every morning. We love hiking with them, and having miles of trails right outside the door felt like having our own private state park.Every detail of the home was thoughtfully designed to make us feel welcome. Each of us even had a personal robe laid out before we arrived. Our host checked in with us several times during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and was immediately available whenever we had questions.We were in the area visiting family in Vandalia, IL, and this property was the perfect place for our family to gather. We had children in our group ranging in age from 2 to 23, and everyone had a fantastic time swimming in the pond and 4-wheeling on the trails. This was the perfect place for a family getaway, and we would absolutely stay here again!
