Pic Trip
Large rural home in a quiet pasture like setting with two car garage. It was well stocked with good equipment and had freshly ground Starbucks coffee in the fridge. TV streaming service but no internet at this time. The location was great for a visit to Giant City Park. The basement had a full pool table, TV and comfortable seating,

Beautiful farmhouse
Beautiful home with deck, back patio and garage. Fully stocked, clean, comfortable and peaceful surroundings. Large Hot tub and firepit offers a great view. Pool table & games in basement were a fun bonus. Communication was easy with host. Listing is accurate and we would love to stay again in the future! We loved watching the chickens & singbirds daily. The little farm cat greeted us and was very friendly. We Would definitely recommend this rental to others.

Exactly what we needed
Me and several girlfriends stayed at the Wine Country Cottage this past weekend. Everything was as advertised. The home was very clean and all the comforts of home provided. The hot tub was appreciated in the evenings after a couple of days on the Wine Trail. We all slept comfortably and enjoyed the wonderful deck and outside views. Thanks for letting us get away from life for a couple of days. We had a wonderful time and it was exactly what we needed. Kelly was a wonderful host always responding quickly to my questions and even giving us a "heads up" when the rain tried to get in the way of our travels. We would definitely stay here again and suggest it to anyone interested. Thanks so much!

Wonderful Property
If you love being away from it all, but also close to several wineries, this is the spot for you! The property was very clean and well kept. The views were excellent, and the hot tub was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon in the crisp January air. Loved everything about this property! Highly recommend!

Perfect Getaway
My husband and I celebrated our anniversary in Shawnee Wine Trail. We were there back in 2012 and came back in 2023 (way too long of a gap if you ask me). The cottage was adorable and had everything we needed. It is a perfect little getaway and close to wineries.
