Beautiful property in a quiet area of Makanda. We made several trips to Giant City State Park which was extremely convenient.We had to contact the host several times and Allison was very speedy with her responses and resolved a couple of minor issues that we experienced. We had 5 seniors in our party and we all had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy our week.

Beautiful property in central location

We "stayed in" for a low key "relax and refresh retreat" with family, and enjoyed the living room with fireplace and porches. Communication was superb. Location is easy to get to with a rural feel and city amenities within easy reach. The family agreed we would love to return.

Quiet Getaway

We were looking for a quiet getaway for our family. It ended up raining while we were there but with the arcade games and other games on the lower level we were still able to enjoy ourselves and have an amazing time. We really enjoyed ourselves and felt right at home.

Perfect for everyone to hang out together!

This house was the perfect setup for our family to be together in one big room to eat, play games and just hang out. We made use of the ping pong table and dart board and enjoyed sitting around the campfire in the evenings. It was very clean and nicely stocked. I would definitely recommend to any group. We had a really nice weekend!
