"This is a beautiful house and setting. We were greeted by Anna at the door and taken on a tour of the property. You can choose from many places to relax -- by the pool, several patios, and two living room/family room areas. We were in the dragonfly room and it was light and spacious and has three large windows with a beautiful view. Everything is very modern and looks like new. There is even a refrigerator by the pool if you want to bring a cold beverage out. I couldn't rave more about Anna's breakfasts -- she may even print a recipe out for your to take home. The setting is private and includes a pond and pastures with horses. We were there in mid-September and saw wild turkeys coming and going. Make sure you allow at least three nights if you want to see highlights of the Shawnee National Forest and the wine trail. It is spread out more than we thought, and two nights does not do it justice if you want to explore. Madi and Ken, Roselle, Illinois."
