Perfect place

The house was incredible we kept finding new charming things around every corner and it was well stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was the perfect place to relax and celebrate our friends before the day of their wedding. There is so much to do all around the property. Incredibly memorable and scenic location.

Great Family Stay

The farm was such an amazing place to find. Our extended family, including my older parents truly enjoyed their stay. There was something for everyone, from small children to teens to adults. We loved the ping pong table, campfire, foosball and record player. The host was on top of everything and a great communicator. Thanks again!

Perfect place for our Thanksgiving reunion

Our family of 18 was looking for a location to gather for a Thanksgiving reunion for our group scattered across the country. The St Louis area became our target destination. We couldn't have picked a more perfect place to stay than the Grafton Getaway Farm in Dow, IL, just a 40 minute drive into the city. The house was so accommodating to our needs and the kids loved playing farmer as they tended the chickens and fed the ducks. Brandon was a great host, it was fun seeing his collection of memorabilia from his world travels, some which our group had experienced but many others we are now inspired to undertake. A fully stocked kitchen and pantry with extra tables and chairs made our Thanksgiving feast one for the memory books. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this location to other families looking for a taste of farm living.

We had a great time celebrating my husband's 60th birthday with a surprise trip with all of our kids and grand kiddos. The property had beds everywhere and we fit perfectly. The entire property was an adventure in our own backyard. So many things to see and do and discover in every corner.

Wow! Grafton Getaway even better in person than in photos. Really lovely property and we thorougly enjoyed our time there Brandon was super responsive and helpful (we forgot a corkscrew-ha!). This is a great spot for kids (we had a six month old baby up to 7 year olds) and adults. I enjoyed the hammock, kids enjoyed the rock pit in the barn and we all had fun on the trampoline!

Family Reunion at the Farm

Our family ranged in age from infant to 85 years old. All of us had a good time at the Farm. The host was very responsive and helpful, even meeting us upon arrival. The property provided lots of opportunities for activities and fun, with a variety of indoor spaces and games plus multiple outdoor things to do. We were surprised that we were expected to help care for the chickens & ducks, but these chores were simple. The seclusion of the property was nice for us, but it was also near several places we needed or wanted to go (stores, the river, a state park). We highly recommend this host and location.

Family gathering with something for everyone

Family weekend for kids and adults. Grafton Getaway was perfect! Kids loved the play areas and especially the trampoline. Adults enjoyed the fire pit and many indoor spaces. House was spacious and clean with many places for sleeping. The highlight was the stocked pond. Kids caught small fish easily and adults caught much larger fish. Host was very responsive.

Perfect Getaway

Wonderful couple of days. Perfect way to celebrate the Christmas Season with our family. Thoughtful touches throughout the house. Plenty of space and lots to do. Short drive from St Louis yet you felt like you were a 1000 mikes away. Kids had a blast and the moms got to relax. Would love to come back the the farm or visit their other properties in the future!

Family of 18

The home and property are absolutely gorgeous. We vacationed with our four sons and their families. They live in four different states and rarely get together. Their was so much to do with our grandchildren. It was both exciting and relaxing. Brandon was very helpful and he answered all our questions immediately. Can't wait to return!
