Better than average, with some acceptions below
Heating blew in cold air until ready for the warm air.
There were no curtains or drapes except for the bed room and bath.

Nice place for a girls weekend
This was a nice place for all of us, but it was not as clean as I was expecting. The mattress pad on the pull out couch was dirty, the tub had dirt and ants crawling on it, and the floors were dirty as well. Overall though that stuff didn't affect our trip that much, we still had a great time and enjoyed our stay.

Perfect for a "Work & Play" Getaway!
A beautifully cared for classic farm house that is a perfect getaway. We took advantage of internet connectivity and great hiking locations for a 'working vacation'. The house has everything you need as well as great outdoor spaces. Highly recommend choosing this home and make it yours for as much time as you need! Owner was fantastic.

Much bigger on the inside than it appears on the outside. Excellent place to stay. Clean. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this place as an option for people coming to the area.

Excellent experience!!
Hi! We stayed here while moving our kid back to school. Our dates had changed a couple times and Randy was always available. He was in touch on an almost daily basis while we were there, just to see how things were going. It was very quiet and the deer were cool to look at. We loved it and hopefully weâll be back.

Sibling weekend
We had a nice stay! Be prepared to drive 20+ minutes to get just about anywhere in the area. Randy was great with communication. My only feedback would be that for 4 adults, although very cute, the sliding barn doors in conjunction with the layout didnât provide a ton of privacy.

Mary and Snooks' Country Home
We loved the house. There was 4 of us who stayed the weekend we had more than enough room and was easily accessible for our friend who is slightly handicapped. It was easy to find, close to town which was nice but still country. We enjoyed the family photos, everything was comfortable and clean. For us it was the perfect fit. We missed enjoying the firepit more because our handicapped friend couldn't handle the walk. The patio took the place of that, so no problem. We recommend this to anyone who has similar interests in the type of house they would like to rent. It is also close to main roads for access to some of wineries if you want to avoid some of the winding country roads. Overall just can't say enough about the house, we are definitely hoping to return soon. Thank you, Karen Raby and friends!

Family Reunion Country House Stay
We really enjoyed staying at this quaint country home. Nice location to our Reunion and family cabins. Randy was a great communicator and in all my travels- I have never been to a better stocked home. The bottle of wine and chocolates was very thoughtful and we couldn't believe the quality of shampoo/ body wash/ soaps and Randy even thought of things like a fancy hotel which eliminated us from having to go to store.
A couple of suggestions- Would encourage switching out the traditional key for a digital door lock...didn't feel fully secure knowing others could easily copy key and have easy access.
And the only thing the owners MUST DO---is put up shutters/ blinds in Master bedroom and bathroom- we were all "on display " and it forced us to change normal behavior- also way too light in room. We wanted to sleep in but could not.
My daughter's really enjoyed the back to nature experience and saw cows, a skunk, deer and an eastern box Turtle and a lot of spiders! đ
I highly recommend Snook and Mary's house-

Great Family comfort!
We had a great time while staying here loved the old farm house charm, even the kids loved the home. They had plenty of space to run around, the loved the swing in the back yard. There were 5-6 dear in the backyard each morning. The only little issue we had was it would of been nice to have curtains on the master bedroom window. We would definitely stay here over and over again!

This home was very relaxing and came with everything you needed. The wood work in this home was amazing along with the original wood flooring. The master bed was so
amazing that we wanted to take it home with us. We have already decided to bring the kids when we come back next time. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your amazing home.

Very relaxing quaint country home
Quaint country house on a beautiful rolling hill in Southern Illinois close to the wineries and Carbondale. We stayed here for my nieces graduation from SIU. It was great being away from the crowds in a nice quiet setting. Although we did not take advantage of all this place has to offer- a fire pit, an outdoor picnic area with a grill, and a nice sitting area which would be very relaxing with a good book and a glass of wine, I definitely will when I come back. There are really good restaurants just minutes away in Murphysboro if you choose to eat out. The kitchen is well stocked and the house is tastefully decorated with family pictures of a home well-loved. We will definitely be back!

Super Cozy Country Farm home
This place is so cozy and comfortable., and totally upgraded. The rolling hills as you approach, the weathered barn to the south. Sitting on the front porch having coffee in the morning watching the sunrise. Sitting in the evening on the porch having a tasty beverage, whispering cause you can't believe how quiet it is. We loved it. To say the place is stocked is an understatement. It has everything and more. The master bedroom was very comfortable,. The house is loaded with family history. Great pictures throughout. Randy, the host was very helpful and provided great local activity suggestions. We went to Murphysboro for the Eclipse, which was spectacular, but got so much more! Thanks Randy and of course Mary and Snooks! The eclipse 0f 2024 is right around the corner!!
