We had a wonderful stay. The patio/decks were great and there’s furniture all around so you can sit wherever. The view of the water was peaceful. We went in March so the trees were still bare, but I’m betting it will be even better once everything grows in! The inside is clean and there is no clutter. All amenities listed were available and worked properly. The upstairs living room was like a sunroom, the uncovered windows allowed for lots of light to come through. We enjoyed the property and Tom was a great host!

Peaceful and beautiful

Tom is just amazing. We were able to buy a dozen fresh farm eggs, and he even brought us apple cider donuts from their own bakery and they were delicious! This cabin is perfect for the peaceful and relaxing vacation we intended on getting while staying in Illinois. If I could give him 10 Stars I would I highly recommend an we will be returning in the future. The cabin had everything we needed, Bed is also comfortable. We just fell in love with it's unique charm and the area itself. You can't find any other place like this one around.

In the country

We were looking for a home in the Belleville area for a family visit. This cabin fit the bill! It was a 2 story, but we only used the upper level. The hosts were very polite and accommodating. The orchard has a bakery during growing season, but, they had frozen gooey butter cake, and donuts we were able to purchase and sample...yummm. We would definitely stay here again if it's available.

Weekend Getaway

We stayed in this cabin for the second year in a row now, were just as satisfied as the first time. It is a nice little place away from the city just enough to relax in the quiet but also not having to drive far to get to the city. As always, check in process was easy with very friendly service. By the way, if you're ever checking in during the orchards off season, you can still ask for Their famous apple cider donuts or gooey butter cake! They may have some left in the freezer!

Christmas at the Cabin

This was our second stay at this property and we are already planning two trips there in 2025. It is always a pleasure to see Tom Range when we visit. You can always tell that Tom sincerely cares about his guests. One of our family says that the cabin looks like something in a Hallmark movie.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Tom has been the owner and operator of Braeutigam Orchards since 1980 and is part of the family's sixth generation. He and his wife, Pat, have three children who make up the farm's seventh generation, and seven grandchildren who are the eighth generation.

Braeutigam Orchards has been a family farming tradition since 1831.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is one of several houses that stand on the farm's property. Built in the 90's, it boasts rustic charm. The private pond and surrounding woods provide ample wildlife to watch, including birds, turtles, fish, deer, and more. Listen to golfers cheer in the distance and ponder whether it is with joy or misfortune!

What makes this property unique

The cabin provides an abundance of privacy, peace, and quiet. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Being located just off our family farm is a special bonus as we are able to offer guests the experience of rural living and access to seasonal fruits and vegetables, farm fresh eggs, and baked goods.
