Lovely, cozy little home in a nice little Illinois town - what more could you want? Nice amenities, nice bedrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and wouldn't hesitate to book again the next time we find ourselves in the south burbs.

Cozy and clean

The owners have so many thoughtful things tucked throughout the home to make your stay pleasant. From plug in scents to fluffy bathrobes, we were impressed with their attention to details. We were happy to find this rental in small town Wilmington and will be returning.

My first rental - great host, great property

Very pleased with the experience overall. Sure, it was the only property in Wilmington, but she did a great job at everything. A few snacks waited for us, instructions were clear and accommodating, house was in good shape.
