10/10 would stay here again. Serene location with a small lake on the property with tons of fish. Owners even provided rowboat and life jackets. We also saw deer, frogs and a wild turkey. Comfy beds and well stocked kitchen with everything we needed.

Our stay was delightful, the house is a gem in the woods.There were so many birds in the morning along with the turkey and deer. We walked the property and it all was so peaceful and serene. The house was very nice and everything in it. Highly recommended for some quality sound with nature, rest and renewal. Thank you

We As a family have stayed at several vrbo. I can say this ome was on the top of our list as far as being equiped with everything you need! Linens, bedding, cooking supplies of all sorts, cleaning supplies. The Host was very quick to reply and answer any questions we had. You can tell they are in the process of continually improving on the property. The acces was great! We pulled a 20'pontoon in and had no problem turning around in the drive. And not to mention, having the availabilty of a outbuilding was fantastic for us to store our fishing poles and gear in the evening! Not to mention the wildlife was great! If your looking for a relaxing place in this area. This is your spot!!

Megan was great! When the weather was expected to be bad, she sent a message checking to see if we needed anything. I loved that we had full access to the location without the worry of disturbing others, or being disturbed. The property was beautiful and peaceful. Just what I needed. Cannot wait to book this location again maybe in the summer so that we can enjoy the outside.

Our stay here was peaceful and enjoyable. It was easy to get to, off of a quiet road in a rural area. There are multiple porches for sitting outside and enjoying the beauty of the pond and the woods. It was a wonderful place to spend hours watching and listening to a variety of birds. And when you do want to go inside, there are comfortable amenities. We were able to park in the garage, which we were thankful for during a storm. The host was helpful and easy to communicate with. This is a great place to spend some time relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was great—very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated for Christmas, which made it feel extra special. The private lake was a highlight for us; fishing kept us entertained and relaxed throughout our stay. Everything was well maintained, and we truly enjoyed our time here. We would absolutely stay again and recommend this home to others.

Do yourself a favor and book this property. We have booked many properties all over Illinois and Missouri and this place just jumped to the top of our list. The property is so relaxing in countless ways. Very secluded, yet restaurants and everything you need are just 15 minutes away in Waterloo.

We loved everything about our stay in the woods. From the minute we pulled into the secluded tree-lined driveway, we felt like we were truly in the woods. Megan, the host, was very kind and easy to communicate with. The house was well appointed and clean. The lake was AMAZING. The fall leaves made the place look magical. We fished, we hiked around the property and we played games in the shed that we brought from home. We will stay again. What a beautiful property!
Bright & cheery open concept.

This property is absolutely breathtaking for a regular stay or an event. I stayed for a few days and also my son's wedding and reception was on the property. From the moment I pulled into the driveway I was was ecstatic over the beautiful home, the lake, nature and the shed. The home was very clean, decorated beautiful and very cozy. The bed was very comfortable and the shower pressure was perfect. Communication with the owner was easy and they were both so accommodating with answers to all of our questions. We had almost 40 guests and parking was easy, we had almost 20 vehicles and there was still plenty of parking space available.The shed was immaculate and huge. Even with 8 tables there was plenty of room for a dance floor and for people to spread out. Space was not an issue at all. I also rented tables and chairs from the owner and delivery was great. All pieces were in great shape and clean. You will definitely see nature out there. The deer arrived every morning to drink out of the lake, listen for the owl hooting and see the squirrels playing in the trees. I'd also like to add, I appreciated the concrete from the house to the shed door. This made it so much easier for the older guests to walk from the shed and then take the 1 step up to the front deck and be able to step inside. We will definitely rent again for either stays or events.
