We were in town for my daughters wedding, it was only 4 minutes away from them, perfect location. Everything was nice and clean, loved the master bathroom double shower and the ac had me sleeping like a baby!! Neighbors were friendly, one even stopped and asked my husband if he needed help when he was struggling with a box. Great place to stay in Carlinville.

Home away from home

We have had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property many times and we always look forward to it! We spent a very frigid week there in January and February and it was warm and cozy with everything you could need. The hosts are so kind and wonderful. So thankful for this beautiful rental option in Carlinville.
