Lovely Stay

The setting of this well appointed cottage is just lovely. The cottage is fully equipped with anything you might need, plus there are all kinds of fun extras like classic albums and stereo, an outside grill and seating area, and a pond you can gaze at from a private porch swing. We loved being nestled among the peach trees and visiting the chicken coop in the morning. The beds are very comfortable and the “convenient store” is a great feature. We look forward to staying here again since our daughter just graduated from SIU and has landed her first job in the Carbondale area!

Anniversary stay

We didn't realize there would be no shade, so due to weather, wasn't able to be outside much. The kitchen was not as clean as I would have liked. Counter tops and stove had to be wiped before used. Someone's leftover food was left over in dirty microwave. Telescope was not able to be used due to lack of instructions. Overall, loved the cottage, reading the farm history and the homey feel. We were very impressed with the amenities! The property host was very reachable!

Everything you need at this orchard oasis!

The Cottage at Rendleman Orchards was the perfect location for our staycation! Any and everything we could need was conveniently provided. We enjoyed making meals in the kitchen as well as grilling and dining outside, made smores by the fire pit, and stargazed during the meteor shower. The beds were the most comfortable we’ve found, and our toddler loved fishing, riding the golf cart, and exploring the land. We were impressed by the toddler amenities such as toys, dining sets, cups, high chair. Easy access to the Farmer’s Market & flower fields, but tucked away enough that light and sound are no issue. We love how central this location is to exploring the wineries off 127 as well! Allison was amazing about checking in, and the welcome guide was incredibly well put together! 10/10 would stay again, and look forward to the opportunity. You must do the golf cart add on, it adds a whole other aspect of VIP and exploring to your stay!
