Welcome Home, Shirley and Patricia Owner/Operator A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY In 1943 my parents purchased the 80-acre farm, farmhouse and barn for $2,800. In 1944 the current home was built on the site of the old homestead. The white barn is the original barn that was on the property when my parents purchased the farm which makes it about 100 years old. At the time, America was using all of our resources to fight World War II, therefore building materials were hard to come by. All the lumber used to build the home in 1944 was used lumber bought from a lumber yard in Brighton Illinois. There was no basement in the original farmhouse, so dad dug the basement with a scoop pulled by a team of mules and as the main support for the house my grandpa hand hewed the beam from a white oak timber found on the farm. This beam is still supporting the homestead to this day! No electric, no gas, no running water! It wasn’t until sometimes in the fifties did we have electric, until then we saw by kerosene lamps and mom cooked on a wood stove. There was no running water, but we had a cistern to catch rainwater which was then pumped into the house by a hand pump. You can still see the cistern around the back of the house. Chicken, pigs and milk cows all lived on the farm. In 1964 an addition was added onto the living room. In order the make way, the original steps (hand poured) needed to be moved. Daddy had an old John Deer tractor that he used to work the farm; it was all that tractor could do to move those old steps a few feet from the house where they remain today. In 2003, with the help of my family, the Homestead Retreat was one of the first guest houses to open in Grafton. With a new front porch, the mud room converted into a sunroom, a fresh coat of paint and a few pillows we were ready to go. But mostly it's just like mom and dad left it. Yes, there is running water and indoor plumbing!! Converting my childhood home into the Grafton Homestead Retreat has been, and still remains, a labor of love. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Stereo - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital - Near the marina ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Foosball table - Table tennis - Water park - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Motor boating nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Minimum check-in age: 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees Welcoming dogs only 2 total (up to 20 lbs per pet) Restrictions apply; for more information contact the property at the number on the booking confirmation Note from host: Please contact us for pets over 20 lbs.
