Private secluded property with cabins on it. The property was amazing with a pond that you can see from both the living and bedroom. Beautiful sunrise and sunset views with lots of pine trees and birds to listen too. If your looking for peace and quiet weekend this is the place to go.

Nice little cabin

Just the quiet type of place we were looking for. A spring time note for visitors — the local farmers will certainly be out this time of year with their heavy equipment. That however was just a minor issue given the work that they perform for the rest of us. I suppose they’ll do a repeat performance at harvest time.

Super quiet getaway!

Such a gorgeous property that is well taken care of! Cabin was clean and cozy. Loved sitting and relaxing on the front and back deck. Favorite part was definitely the jacuzzi tub! We brought our two dogs with us and had so much fun. We even met Waylon during our stay! Highly recommend booking this cute cabin for a relaxing, semi remote getaway!

Laid back and comfortable country setting

My family and I enjoy our peaceful family time around the fire, playing at the beach, sitting on the covered deck on the swing bench, the peaceful walking trails, the jacuzzi tub and the local attractions such as the national Forest preserve. We would definitely come back.

About the host

Hosted by Thad and Tommi Jurgens

Host profile image
Thad and I purchased this property in 2006. There was nothing here but brush. Thad cleared and cleaned, dug our pond, and built us a weekend cabin. We spent weekends here for 6 years and decided to move here full time. Thad then built a bunkhouse for extra living space and to rent to hunters. In 2016 w
he built another cabin to rent to weekenders. We knew people would love it as much as we do!
Thad is a 3rd generation builder and I am a home maker, personal trainer, and yoga instructor. We love the outdoors and to travel to quaint places. We enjoy offering that to others here at our home.
Our goal is to offer a clean, comfortable place to stay away from the hustle of busy life! We share the property with our youngest daughter and our 4 legged friends. A 3 year old doberman King and a 3 year old beagle Waylon.
