Especially the lake that was on the property that came with life jackets and water sports equipment. It really allowed us to enjoy the full extent of the property. Only gripe is I believe the property listed there were 3 full bathrooms and in reality there were two and a half bathrooms. We made it work but it would have been nice to know there was a half baths.

The property and scenery are so picturesque, and we loved spending time together around the large table in the kitchen. Brian (host) had great recommendations for the area, especially a bus to take us around to the local wineries for an afternoon. We had a blast utilizing all the paddle boards and kayaks provided at the pond, and after fun-filled days the beds were comfortable and clean! We would definitely stay again. ##### Chelsea L.

The little lake charms with its turtles and kayaks. The home provides great views of the lake and the sunsets, with cozy bedrooms for all. The kitchen is well-stocked and spacious. Our little reading retreat felt cozy and cared for over the entire weekend. Would absolutely stay here again if in the area. ##### Michelle H.

Brian was easy to get ahold of. Only concern is the bathroom with the shower- the glass door/wall didn’t seem as secure as it should be and water still got out onto the floor.

Don't miss the chance to have coffee with the ponies and cows or paddle board at sunset with your girls. As a first time MOH, I couldn't have asked for a better experience and Brian's connections made the planning process a million times easier. Would definitely stay again! ##### Grace D.

The rooms are large especially the kitchen where we gathered for meals and games. Large patio door of the kitchen allow watching the dock and pond. Geese,,egrets, hawks, and deer were spotted. The Farmhouse was clean throughout. 3 large bedrooms upstairs had their own air conditioners, and everyone slept well. Two big bathrooms had showers with plenty of hot water. Every bed was comfortable. Plus the kitchen had top of the line appliances & every imaginable tool. Brian found us a bus and driver to escort us to the wineries. Our host made the weekend the best. Finally, we used the fire pit each evening while we star gazed. The firepit has plenty of seating and we made the most of it. We'd stay at the Farmhouse again for sure! ##### Susan M.

As soon as I booked the Wine Country House, Brian (host) contacted me to touch base and provide contact info. From the time we booked to the time we checked out, Brian was always available and quick to respond to any questions. He is the host with the most! :) This place was absolute perfection- my friends and I all agreed we would be staying there again. The house is beautiful and spacious, but for us, the best aspects were outside. There are so many seating areas - a patio just outside the kitchen door, a fire pit area, AND next to the private lake (which has available kayaks and stand up paddleboards), plenty of lounge chairs and a covered seating area. Near the house is a little barn with 3 very friendly mini horses we became best friends with. The Wine Country Farmhouse is so conveniently located to so many excellent hiking/trails- It's a quick drive to Giant City Park and Pomona Natural Bridge. The house feels so secluded and like you have so much privacy, but if, like my party, you forget charcoal or need cookies, there is store very close by. (As an outdoors person, I also really loved that we were there right when the irises started to bloom.) I can't wait until we're able to book the house again. If you're in the Southern Illinois area, you \*have\* to check out this place. ##### Leigh R. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek H.

Oct 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The property was beautiful and felt so quiet and secluded, which is exactly what we were looking for! Right on the wine trail, literally 4 minutes from Star View. Brian was so kind and made sure to stay in touch in case we needed anything, and the biggest bonus was the mini horses! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5ad0d96d-d1eb-4c85-8a4f-1fd639631e64-1760049723285.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eb69af72-98eb-4c21-835f-fdf687439e8f-1760049723959.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58194498-17ea-475e-9a9e-3b9b210c304e-1760049724285.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5dc92168-1097-4611-a60e-732793d1d095-1760049723466.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bailey A.

The host was amazing! Helpful and communicative. The property was beautiful with private lake and ponies! Also close to hiking and the wine trail which we really enjoyed. Fully stocked kitchen and conversation by the fire pit rounded out our days. Would recommend! ##### Miya M. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa P.
