This Vrbo is located in a complex, which means it has more of a hotel vibe than a typical Vrbo (which we didn’t mind). The house was immaculate, and you can order breakfast for delivery. We came in the fall to see the fall leaves, but I could definitely see this being a ton of fun in the summer. The house was small but was perfect for me and my husband. Plus it overlooks the Illinois River which was super peaceful. We would definitely consider returning!

Relaxing stay during an interesting time

We decided to keep our reservations while the COVID situation was still new even though they were kind enough to be flexible with cancelation and rescheduling had we needed to change. The property was clean and perfectly stocked in a great location close enough to town if needed but quiet and secluded little area. Once all this is past us, it would definitely be worth staying again.
