Cozy but Roomy Secluded Cabin

Great spot - cabin secluded in the woods but close to town. Very clean, plenty of room for six of us. All decorated for Christmas! Hosts were very friendly and attentive!

A splendid TREAT of a Retreat

The Grove is perfect in every way. This home is pristine and so incredibly clean and comfortable. The owners have thought of everything and outfitted the residence with quality furnishings, ample and comfortable furniture, bedding and linens! It is incredibly well-equipped with every excellent quality amenity to make your stay simply perfect. You feel like you’re in a world all to your own, but paved roads will quickly lead you to many stores and restaurants just minutes away. It truly is a gem and someplace we will stay when we travel home to visit family! It absolutely feels like home, away from home.

Hospitality at it's finest!

We came to visit family and found The Grove. The photos don't do it justice. The property was beautiful and the house was everything we needed. The house was impeccably clean which made my clean-freak heart happy. We have already made arrangements to stay again in the spring when we come back. The hosts were just lovely. They had great communication and made us feel so welcome. Great job, guys! We will see you in April.

Perfection in a Vacation Rental!

Don't hesitate to book here! It was perfect for a girls' trip (4 adults)! The place feels secluded, but is less than 10 minutes from grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and anything you need. The place felt so calm and peaceful. It is very roomy and comfortable. We loved using the Blackstone to grill, and the kitchen had everything you needed to cook (many more appliances, pans, kitchen gadgets, etc. than I have found in previous rentals). Beds were comfortable. TVs in every room. Nice bedding, towels, etc. Pretty artwork and seasonal decor made the place truly feel like home. Comfortable living room and dining room furniture as well. Plus, it was super clean!! We didn't want to leave! 10/10 all the way on this rental. Treat yourself (and your family/friends) and stay here...just take care of the place as I hope to get back again in the future!! Melissa will go out of her way to help and offer suggestions. The host family is highly recommended as well...the Farleys definitely take pride in their property and want you to have a FANTASTIC stay...we did!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan and Melissa Farley

Host profile image
We are absolutely delighted that you’ve found The Grove! As a family of four who has a passion for traveling, hosting in our home, and cheering on Illini Football, it truly feels like a dream to share our space with you and your loved ones! Living just a minute away from The Grove, we cherish every moment we can spend on the property, especially when we aren’t busy with sports practices and games. With the proximity to the amazing new Oasis Sports Complex, our goal is to offer comfort and relaxation to families like ours who are seeking more space and amenities than you’ll find in a hotel. We can’t wait to welcome you!

Why they chose this property

This property is truly exceptional, beloved by us and its community in Crenshaw Crossing, a unique area of Marion with a famous history. While much of the land has been heavily stripped mined, including our own home, The Grove stands out as a precious gem. The original owners made a courageous decision to resist the advances of coal companies year after year, preserving this beautiful parcel of land which is home to hundreds of walnut and sycamore trees. The name, The Grove, came from these beautiful groupings of trees where many children, including our own, find themselves playing on and under.

Now, we have the privilege of carrying on that legacy. We acquired this property from another family, also passionate Illini fans, who had it in their family for several generations. The Grove offers a serene, secluded atmosphere that evokes the charm of a bygone era. Its simplicity is unparalleled, and we invite you to experience the magic of The Grove. We are confident you will appreciate it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

If you’re like us and often on the move for sporting events, you know how exhausting hotel stays can be. That’s why we turned to VRBOs – they offer a perfect blend of comfort and space to unwind. And we take great pride in sharing this experience with other families!

Our property truly stands out, located just under four minutes from the vibrant heart of Marion, where you’ll find the Oasis Sports Complex, Kokopelli Golf course, shopping, and dining. Yet, despite this proximity, you'll feel blissfully secluded in nature. It’s truly the best of both worlds! Don’t miss out on creating unforgettable memories with us at The Grove!
