Birthday get away

We wanted a quick get away to celebrate a friend’s birthday. This was the perfect spot! The house was clean and exactly as described. It was very comfortable for two couples. The kitchen was fully equipped, including a good selection of coffee and creamers. The covered front porch was a great place to visit, enjoy our morning coffee or evening drink. It was also a good spot to wait out a morning rain before getting on our motorcycles to explore. The wineries close by stop food service earlier in the evening than we expected. We did not prepare for that our first evening and had to turn to DoorDash to bail us out. We planned much better the next day! Picked up food from a local grocery store in Anna early in the day. After visiting a winery for lunch and music, and stopping at the nearby Bourbon bar, we headed back to the house to stay in for the evening.

great location for exploring the Shawnee Forest area

Cozy property, but more than capable to support a family of 4 and our dog as we made it our 'basecamp' between local state park hikes. Very clean and well laid out with full kitchen amenities, and an awesome little winery and tasting room literally next door...which we sat outside and played bocce with the dog including.

Amazing Location in Southern Illinois

This is the best location to stay in Southern Illinois, the Shawnee National Forest, and the Southern Illinois Wine Trail. The house is literally ON a vineyard! Close to 2 other wineries, Rendelman and Flamm Orchards, and great hiking (Pomona Natural Bridge, Giant City, and Little Grand Canyon). The place was spotless, had tons of kitchen amenities, and the beds were comfy. Host was super responsive. We will be staying here EVERY time we come to Southern Illinois.

Excellent Rental, Everything was Perfect

Great location, right off the main road. 5-10 minutes to anything you need. The home is behind the Vinyard so it is private. The place was spottless and had recently been renovated. The furnishings were great quality and the beds were comfy. Adding in all of the little extras, makes this a 5☆+!
