Amazing place for Southern Illinois Fun!
My friend and I booked this place as a getaway for the weekend. It was perfect! The pictures do not do it justice. Kathy has thought of everything to make staying here amazing. There are numerous places to relax - outdoor patio, dining area that includes a sitting area with beautiful views of the patio, multiple seating in living room and kitchen areas, and a pub top table with stools in the pool table area. Everything was super clean and well organized. The beds and linens were comfortable. Having a half bath was a perk. The location allowed us quick access to local wineries and hiking. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking, even a blender! I hope we can book this again.

Wonderful weekend in Anna
We had a lovely time, close to wineries, cute towns, hiking etc. The hot tub and pool table made this a wonderful place to “stay in” with our little one. We were able to enjoy starview, then come back for a super relaxing stay. There’s a Kroger/walmart just a few minutes down the road, among other things, super convenient if yoy forgot anything! Had a lovely time, and found the place to be very welcoming!

Delightful and hospitable home!
We loved our stay here! Myself and a few friends came to hike in this beautiful area of Illinois. This VRBO is as lovely as it appears in the photos and description! Kathy is a delightful lady who was very helpful to us, and the home is set up with everything you’ll need, and with such intentional and thoughtful hospitality. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, playing games, and eating delicious food prepared in the spacious kitchen. We ask agreed we would definitely recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a nice, relaxing space!

A beautiful, relaxing stay
To begin, the property host is very communicative and responded quickly to all messages.
The home is beautiful and very relaxing. My wife and I really enjoyed relaxing in the private back patio on the tree swing! Each evening and morning we relaxed and unwound after a day of wine trailing and adventuring for hours.
I highly recommend this host, property and location!

Beautiful property
Our stay at Kathy’s house was great. There was a storm a couple days before we got there that meant we couldn’t use the hot tub but Kathy gave us a partial refund. She was a great communicator throughout our whole stay. She left a bunch of helpful notes around the house and a binder that explained how everything around the house worked. The only downside to our stay was the fact that it’s a duplex and we could hear the people on the other side stomping around. But the beds were super comfortable and the shower water pressure were awesome. We’d definitely come back.
