Peaceful Getaway with Room for Improvement
We had a meaningful and relaxing stay at this quiet cabin tucked away in New Windsor, IL. The best part was definitely the scenery—absolutely beautiful views and plenty of privacy. It was the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with nature. The fishing was top-notch, and we loved that we could bring our dog along, which made the trip even better.That said, there were a few things that could use some attention. We had quite an issue with ants in the kitchen and bathroom—we even had to hide our donuts in the microwave to keep them safe! The paddle boat and canoe on-site were unfortunately not usable, both were filled with water and in rough shape. Also, most of the roads leading to and around the area are gravel, which might be something to consider if you're driving a nicer vehicle.The bed was also a bit small for us as an average-sized couple—it was a snug fit. Still, the charm of the place and the peaceful surroundings made up for a lot, and overall, we really enjoyed our time here. With a few updates, this spot could be truly exceptional.
